 Everyone knows how consistently great Maryville is every year, you have this aura of invincibility that Christian probably just wanted our team to not think that way. Maryville is also the best coached team in the state i doubt that some comment is gonna make them more motivated or ready to play, they are already ready to play every game and its the playoffs, everybody is plenty motivated in the playoffs, 

This is exactly accurate.  Every week if you listen to the coaches show we are usually the favorite, but you will walk out of the room thinking we are in serious trouble.  Their players, coaches, concessions are far more talented we ever imagined.  He is playing the role of being a good sport, our players are not affected and the results are as expected.  Then we reach that part of the season (the playoffs) where we come up against a Maryville.  Now, the roles are reversed.  Our players may have a few doubts so the coaches reverse the dialogue to bolster player confidence.  If you’re from Maryville, you never experience this effect, your never the underdog and thus your coach will only use the complimentary dialogue.  I’m sure 99% of the posters on this board already recognized this, but greyrider seemed really bothered about it.

We weren't favored against Alcoa at home, but we won!

Not bothered just think it was a disservice to his team. Our coaches never bad mouth another team. But they do a great job of inspiring and preparing for opponents.

A rare GovMan opinion:

1.  DB coach should make the comments that were published in article only to his players to motivate them.

2.  As other coaches have found out in years past, it might be better to actually beat Maryville first, then make your comments.

3.  I GUARANTEE you what he said will make the Rebels “more motivated”.  They thrive on that.

4.  I hope DB does make it interesting, it would make the game more entertaining to watch and help Maryville as they move on.

5.  Good luck to both teams.

DB coach “ should have been 9-0 because MARYVILLE shouldn’t have scored” ... lmao what an a $ $ hole he is. MARYVILLE has been doin things for 20+ years that they “shouldn’t “ be doing. I’ll go out on a limb (again) and say this ... the only reason Alcoa scored the 1 TD was because the starting MLB was on the sideline for 2 plays , if he had been in it would have been 14 -  3 .  That’s kind of like 45 -10 I think. 

With only 145 total yards of offense.........if Rankin had not given the rebels a short field, it should have been a shutout! :thumb:

If the 15yo soph QB could have hit 1/3 of his passes, Alcoa would be undefeated!

I can play the if and butts:lol: game too!

Sure but mine is based in reality. I don’t think that there were any Clark’s on the field either

    • Tough situation.  Not sure the ROI is there right now.   Might be better options that are cheaper.
    • Yeah summer ball is really fun, but a lot of coaches are trying to play several kids to get much needed reps that they are not accustomed to. I would imagine Gibson County will have lots of players playing to get much needed reps. Want to win games but got to get experience as well and the rotation will be much deeper. I will be at MTSU, UTM Bethel and others. MTSU is the one I really look forward to.
    • So who are the new additions to the staff? Serious answers only please. 
    • Its always interested to see the state teams the following summer after losing or not losing seniors and getting freshman and transfers. It's almost time.
    • Maryville has Alcoa on the schedule at the right time of the season which helped last year instead of at the first of the year not knowing much. West will be hard pressed to repeat this year but next will be a different story.
