With the position coming open, who are the front runners for the job??

I think most would agree this has the potential to be a solid job due to the talent in the hallways.

Man i’ve always wondered when they was going to get rid of the coach. I never forget when we scrimmaged them one year. Our first thoughts was they was huge and the kids was saying the same thing until we see a freshman cause damage in back to back plays. One of our kids screamed man the soft. 
One of the Laverne dads heard it and shook his head and went on a 30min rant about the coaches

They didn't get rid of him.  It was his choice.  He's taking an administrative position in Georgia for a lot more money than he was making  at Lavergne.  

Stanton is a good guy.  He did a good job at AE, which is a very difficult place to try and rebuild.  He didn't have the success he wanted at Oak Ridge.  Some of that was his fault, some wasn't.  

There's really no need to dog him at this point.  It's a career move for him, a move up the ladder in his profession.  He'll do well as an administrator.

Good Luck Coach Woodward. Seriously!

I am looking forward to seeing your team play with some discipline FINALLY there.

A LOT of talent in the halls there.  Especially now that Smyrna is not borrowing them like when Shad was there.

BTW, you are no longer in Metro.  Folks will not cut you any slack here for a second.  It is all the way to the wall all 48 minutes here.  Think Brentwood on STEROIDS.

I say all this as the last Metro Coach we got to take over one of our schools had an excellent Metro record.  Unfortunately it did NOT translate here and he destroyed one of the best progams in the state.  Now he is Coaching a middle school where his talent is par for the course.

Coach A is now retiring after 38 years of coaching. I think you should hold a retirement party for him..... In all seriousness, you know he was not THE reason for Riverdale going down hill. Might have been part of it, but you know the other variables, such as zoning, recruiting, etc.

LaVergne has not been the only mediocre Rutherford County Program to go through struggles.  The numbers do not lie.  A lot of people who cover high school football in the state of Tennessee have a false opinion as it relates to this area.  I'll prove it below:

 

The Myth of Rutherford County 6A Being the SEC of Tennessee High School Football

Oakland (Last 7 Years:  90-9)

2019:  13-1

2018:  14-1

Rockvale

2019:  0-10

 

Overall Summary

Take away Oakland and the overall record of everyone else the last 7 years sits at 244-236.  

Take away Oakland/Blackman and the overall record of everyone else the last 7 years sits at 176-214.

 

 

Oakland is great and has been rolling under Kevin Creasy and his coaching staff.  They are one of the elite programs statewide.  Blackman has been very very good and annually proven to be Top 5-6 in the state.  Riverdale and Smyrna are both mediocre.  They are not the powerhouses they once were under Gary Rankin and Phillip Shadowens.  Those years are long gone.  LaVergne, Stewarts Creek, and Siegel (since their 2012 run) have been bad the last 7 years.  Rockvale is a new program and the book is still out on what they'll become down the road.

I get what you're saying. I believe Riverdale and Smyrna have been better than average for the most part. They are still two very respectable programs. Not Oakland or Maryville like, but definitely better than average. LaVergne and Siegel have been bad

I normally agree with you but sometimes the numbers do lie. Some would say Lavergne the school has a much talent as Oakland BUT I’ve also heard LaVergne being a Mnps alternative school lol that it’s a little different

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • 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.
