Rant coming.....

ok im tired of the haters getting on here and bashing the coaching and comparing McConnell past and Boldin of Waverly’s future.

First I think I have a dog in this fight and this needs to be said. 

I have coached along side of McConnell. He is a great football mind and had an amazing 5 years at Waverly. I appreciate what he did for our program. But, just like anybody he has his flaws and down falls AND it helped that he was able to pull some athletes from basketball and guys walking the hall, especially his first year in 2014. From 2015 - 2018 he had a LOADED class with the big 3, Stanfield, Dixon, Bradley and many others. Bottom line is that was probably the most talented class of football guys since 2002 season and possibly best class ever in Waverly history. 

Now Boldin... you haters talking him down, saying Waverly is headed back to the Waverly of Old and being mediocre. I strongly disagree. 

I have known Boldin since JR High. Played along side him in JR High and High School.  Dude was a stud athlete then in all 3 sports. Had a greater knowledge and understanding of the game more than anybody. He was a stud athlete in High School. Just a natural talent and even though he was a grade below me, he was a leader and someone I respected and looked up to. He made everyone around him better. 

Boldin joined the Army, fought for our country, and after all that went back to school and pursued his dream of leading young men and becoming a head football coach. 

I knew he would be a success. He has a strong work ethic, a great football mind, and knows what it takes to win football games. 

Lets be honest, he took a mediocre to bad football program in little ole Whitwell TN to 15-0 and a State Championship. Whitwell had some players, but nobody even close with the talent Waverly had in 2015-18. 

So you can knock Waverly all you want, I know both Coaches inside and out and will proudly say I stand behind Boldin 100%. 

I watched Whitwell beat the crap out of South Pittsburg. I wasn’t impressed with the talent of the Whitwell players, I was impressed with the heart, strive, and will to not give up by the players which directly was a reflection of their coach. 

If anyone knows what it is like to go through adversity and fight through and be successful, it’s Boldin. He is a success story. He has done it his entire life, and always ended up on top.

Boldin is where he is supposed to be and we are proud to have him and he WILL be successful here! He will take Waverly to their first ever State Championship. Something no one has ever been able to do. Just wait and watch!!! Go Tigers!

 

That’s a very good post Trollin.

Who compared scores?

I agree with him. There is no way you can judge waverly by the games they have play. We have multiple personalities this yr. I hope everyone gets their meds before the game or we will be eating a lot of crow like we did against the warriors and the lions. Shouldn’t be any reason why waverly can win this game. Everybody seems to think we don’t have talent but we do. We just got to get our heads straight and play good football! Houston county don’t have anything we haven’t seen that’s for sure.

Trollin good post.  I think we just have to get the buy in from the boys for the most part.  One thing McConnell was, prepared.  I have seen instances of lack of preparation.  I hate to call out those things on a public forum as I don’t want to exposed weaknesses.  I know a huge factor has been our challenges at QB.  Stanfield is a baller and doing the best he can but he is not a QB.  Hopefully we are ready for this game.  We can talk crap about Mcconnell next week.

I honestly think we would be better to have Ballard in at QB and use Stanfield somewhere else. Stanfield is a baller for sure!

Boldin did a very good job at Whitwell, but everyone who is familiar knows that the Whitwell team was built by Malone.  Malone played young and those kids matured through time.  They were ready when Boldin took over.  I think Boldin will do very well in Waverly, especially if they are not bumped up a class.  They need to stay in 2A if at all possible.
