Raider, I think Grundy only has 2 full time coaches.  The head coach seems like a good guy and the offensive coach is doing the best he can I think.  They are just very weak in their knowledge of teaching football or they aren't putting in the time and effort to have the team prepared.  I don't know if change in head coaches is coming or not.  No one seems to know anything with a new principal and superintendent to be hired in December.  I can only hope that one day Grundy gets the right man in charge of the football program for the kids sake.

I agree for kids sake, good guy does not = good caoch at all.

Hopefully with a new principal and super things can turn around on the mtn and it won't be so political.  Heck, Grundy ran Ken Colquitt off the mtn and one of their own, the Bryant's who were bright young coaches it seemed.

The Bryant's were excellent individuals to coach football here on the mountain.  They definitely made some mistakes I think with overseeing the program but they were mistakes made due to inexperience.  Grundy should have worked with them and invested in, as you say, their "own".  There has to be change of leadership in the football program for things to have a chance to get better.  The current coach may make a very good assistant coach??

It will definitely be a running clock the 2nd half if Red Bank plays their starters the entire first half.  No doubt there is a huge difference in the talent level between the two teams.  I will always say that Grundy County has athletes to compete with the rest of the valley schools.  The admin has to find a good coach that will invest in our kids and that has always been the problem.

    • I grew up watching Greene Devil Football since I could walk and still close with a lot of the coaches so should know my history pretty well lol.  Everything worked out the way it should have but firmly believe McCurry would have won some State Title if he wouldn't been let go (Greeneville still runs the same D he brought here and he let Ballard run the O and stayed out of it when it came to calling plays.  Greeneville was put out in the Semi's McCurry's last year against Maryville and the next year Greeneville stayed in 4a and was State Runner up playing were they were placed for the first time by the TSSAA.). It was definitely a McCurry and Ballard show that turned everything around along with the Community buying in and revamping the weight room and field house. Since Ballard got promoted to HC every Coach after him has been within the Greeneville Coaching staff because your right, they know what it takes to win a state championship.  Ballard was a master mine on O and what i think Greeneville has lacked since he left and let some Championships or making it to the Championship slip away over the last few years
    • Sounds like you know your area history well. Going back and looking the records were better than I thought but mostly still beating Upper East TN schools. Ballard sounds like he came/was promoted at the right time.    I do think it’s no coincidence that them keeping the HCs as guys who were former guys on the staff. Too many times schools want a “state championship” leveled coach from the outside but they don’t know the landscape. Promoting from within will help with less turnover and keep the program consistent. 
    • You’re a fool if you think I have more than one account 
    • Looking back they had better records than I recalled against upper East TN.  But they still took off once ballard got there. And beating other good programs
