So getting down by 21 Greenville coaches said “trash film” was the excuse? That just seems like an excuse for bad coaching during the week.

Who said it was an excuse? Thats right you did. The 21-0 was self inflicted mostly. That game should have been a blowout honestly and they proved that scoring 33-3

Greeneville had a lot of down years before Ballard arrived. Devils have been very spoiled by recent success. That being said, Greeneville still has every right to brag and be proud until someone dethrones them because until that time is Greeneville at the top and everyone fighting for 2nd

I don’t think you realize how long Coach Ballard was the OC at Greeneville before he got at the head coaching job.  Ballard has been at Greeneville since the early 2000’s and was the OC.  The 2007 Football Season when McCurry was hired and implemented a lot of what the Devils still do today (football weight lifting period, devil camp, game prep, etc.). That season the Devils went 10-3 and haven’t lost a conference game in over 10 years.  It was a mentality aspect.  When Tn went to 6 classifications that helps too

Since fall of 1977, the beginning of the Fred Sorrell era which represented solid football, GHS has had 5 losing regular seasons. One 2-8 and Four 4-6 seasons. There have been four 5-5 regular seasons.

44 football seasons during that period of time. Which leaves 35 winning seasons. Most of that time a school of 850 students representing itself well as a rule against much larger schools.

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
