Grundy Coaching

Just an outside observation, I've read these Grundy Co threads for years now. It seems y'all have a very passionate bunch but a culture change needs to happen. I think it needs to start with the parents and fans. Usually a culture change starts in the locker room but I just don't see it that way in this situation. If I'm a young talented coach there's no way i even consider Grundy. The guys on the T need to start it you might be the most passionate of the bunch. But no real coach wants to come somewhere where he'll be thrown under the bus after a few games or even be threatened. Time to take a long hard look in the mirror and make some changes of your own if you wany to see this program have any kind of real success.

I agree the culture needs to change but I'm a little different in that I believe it needs to start with the board and central office.  Way to much back stabbing at the top and it all flows downhill from there.  I agree I don't know why a coach would want to go to Grundy but they do have some big boys and good athletes.  I think the coach they have now is a real good guy but he is probably best to be an assistant.  Just to unorganized and doesn't appear to know how to run a football team.  Running the stuff he learned in the pros is not working on the mountain.

BeachHound unfortunately I must agree with you.  It really is a shame because the right knowledgeable coach could do alot of good with them grundy boys.  Good facilities, good kids.  Just the adults don't do whats best for kids on the mountain.  Its all about who gets to make the next big decision to please their on followers.  Ive seen it going on for years but always hoped it would change but its not.  kids deserve better!!

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
