Not trying to stir the pot on an old wound BUTTTTTTTTTT ... Blackman opened in 2000. Riverdale won it in 2001 and then again in 2004. I wouldn't say Blackman stopped Riverdale from being a powerhouse.

Oakland has simply taken over the county and will continue to dominate it as long as the Admin continues to support the program and give it what it needs to be successful. People forget that it is ACTUALLY the Principal who decides and dictates just how much will be done in order to win. Oakland made a GREAT decision when they hired Creasy AND gave him control on hiring coaches.

Coaches do not get final say on hiring teachers / assistants or what money gets approved to spend on facilities. (Turf / Indoor facility / weight room). Coaches don't decide a teachers schedule (Principal does that too). 

 

Oakland has the formula - anyone is free to mimic it - Are the powers that be willing to actually do what it takes to win? That is the difference. 

 

Just stating the obvious. Good luck finding any other school in most counties who will actually do what it takes to win and win consistently. They are becoming fewer and farther between.

Coach Tygard brought 11 coaches inside the building with him... so He did have some pull in that   and to say Blackman did not play a part in Riverdale not being a powerhouse is crazy... Blackman won 10 of the last 12 meetings... splitting the talent between Blackman, Riverdale, Rockvale and Stewarts Creek has impacted these programs without a doubt.

My point somewhat... When Blackman opened... Riverdale lost some talent.... When Stewarts Creek opened Blackman lost some talent as did Riverdale Eagleville and Blackman when Rockvale opened.

Which isn't as big of a deal now because the county continues to grow at the rate we've seen for the last 25 years. Talent hasn't been the problem for either Riverdale or Blackman, at least not consistently

No we have had talent, and lacked other areas... but our talent is not as deep as it once was.. It will take time to see it swing back that way.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
