The players are working hard, but the head coach and the AD didn’t schedule any spring scrimmages for them.  

They are in need of a middle school coach and more coaches to also help out with the high school program. 

I have heard that the AD needs to go that he is in the way and don't know what his place is.

Yes, he does need to go back to the hole he crawled out of in Gruetli. He has done nothing to improve any of the sports programs in Grundy.  I don’t know why they haven’t already fired him.  He must have some people brainwashed with the lies that he tells.

I was by the field..needs some work

Yes, you are correct. The field does need work.  The board has already had to fix one mess the AD and the head coach made of the field.  I guess we will have to wait a few more weeks to see what other messes those two will make and will have to be cleaned up and fixed.

AD is only suppose to support the coaches and basically be a secretary not have power like an administrator, last time I checked High school football is not college. I agree with the one poster if he is as bad as they say he does need to go. Sounds like he just doing it for his own personal gain which is a shame it only hurts the kids and program.

Firing the AD would be a start, but there are many other deep rooted issues in Grundy then just the AD.  Grundy is a beautiful place with many wonderful people, but they continue to elect people to their school board that have no interest in making the schools or the athletic programs better.  The focus of the elected officials are on hatred and bitterness of people that disagree with them.  People in the north side of the county try to one up people in the south side and vise versa.  They would much rather see their enemies fail then see any aspect of the county schools succeed.  This cycle has repeated itself for years on the mountain, and the students, teachers, coaches, and student athletes are last on the priority list.  If people in Grundy ever elect school officials that care about the schools more than they hate their enemies, and put what's best for the students first, not only the football program will improve, but every sports program at the school will see vast improvement.  I really hope they can figure it out, because they have many great people in the county,  sadly however, I don't have a lot of faith that they will.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
