I don’t. I’m not saying he’s just as good a coach (although I do think he’s a good coach), but any difference there would be more than outweighed by the difference in the rosters IMO, which is substantial. On rare occasions DB has had the athletes to contend for a state title, but year in and year out they do not, IMO, and this year is not one of those rare occasions. Hope we can win a couple in the playoffs tho. I do not think Christian could win 3 out of 10 if rosters were swapped - if Rankin had 3 months to prep the DB boys. The people who did the search for the new head coach flat out lied to everybody. They coronated their good ole boy. They all need to be run out of town because of their lies. I have never thought that Christian would meet muster. The last 2 games have started proving this is true IMO. He is no better than Clark was 10 years ago. A loser in playoffs. Couldn't get to final 4 with a "rare" team, before the big roadblock - Murryvul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did it three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot more pieces to the puzzle than the head coach. When I say it's all coaching I'm talking about from the ground up. From the little leagues to middle school, to the freshman and then to varsity. In Kingsport we are very weak on coaching in the lower leagues. You'll never compete with the Maryville's and Alcoa's until they fix that. Heck we can't even beat a average Science Hill team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck we can't even beat a average Science Hill team. our middle school coaching is literally just 1 or 2 teachers who feel like coaching, no real teaching is being done, its just give the ball to your best athlete and see who wins, as someone who grew up in kingsport i can tell you that 80% of the freshman team has only played for 1-2 years in middle school and have to be taught the basics of even how to line up, let alone the proper technique of how to play your position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH may have DB’s number but they’re choke city when it comes to closing out a title against a team with a losing record. Lol! Same thing happened last year. Couldn't of happened to a more deserving bunch. But all things considered this lop sided loss by SH tonight makes DB look even worse. Embarrassing.

Tribal Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I get what you guys are saying about the issues with the feeder schools. It’s important, and can make a big difference. That is the foundation of nearly flawless execution, and I’ve watched several Maryville and Alcoa teams win over the years where the athletes didn’t jump out at you but the execution did. This Alcoa team was not one of them though. The difference in the athletes was obvious also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy announcers that know about football and who their playing. Those guys do their homework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10% are the ones that win state championships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
