Yes she is and doing a great job. I didn't know if some folk would get mad at me for saying that, but I put it out there and am so glad you feel the same way about her. 

She is an amazing coach, the kids are the priority to her, and even more so she is an amazing person.  While I was happy for another amazing coach to come back, it should have been handled differently.  Even if I don’t know the entire situation, it doesn’t matter.  It was wrong.  I don’t care to say it.

She and all her family are amazing people.

Crow, Old Pirate ain’t fer any stretch of the imagination thinking Ifin yous was moving into the area you’d not likely wear orange & black. OP agrees theys been more in recent years due to surrounding jobs & sitch. But a HEEP been saying that fer decades which ain’t so! 

Actually I have been a SP fan in the past. The way your captain has steered the ship the last few years has absolutely tarnished the reputation of what I consider one of the premier programs in the state. We all know the big stories, many both inside and outside SP know the kind of “antics” that have been permitted and occasionally encouraged by your proclaimed captain victory. He has, in my opinion, left your proud program with a black eye. I truly hope Coach Jones can and will run the SP program in a manner that restores the reputation and prestige your program deserves. In short sir you are mostly incorrect. I am not a coach grider fan but I certainly hope to return to the ranks of a SP fan soon.

I was told tonight the schedule has changed. I guess the streak was technically ended last season anyway. It seems Coach Jones doesn’t mind to shake things up a bit. NJ will be a fun game to play. Who else are we playing besides them?

By looking at your schedule it appears you are playing no one. Schedule is incredibly weak. In all seriousness, I would be concerned that your schedule will not prepare you for what will come out of the west. You guys have a good chance of representing the East but the increase in competition once you get to the ship maybe hard on you guys with the weak schedule.

Is this their schedule? Or is there an updated one?

I think that is correct but a SP poster could tell you better than I could. @SouthtownerIs this correct??

The schedule posted on here is full of cupcakes. Sequatchie isn’t very good and neither is Austin East. I have heard a rumor that Jones is looking to replace Austin East. South Pitt will breeze thru this schedule.

Rome wasn't built in a day and CJ will try to prepare us better I can assure you. Unfortunately we are in a week region, so that doesn't help at all. I do know we will have a better team IMO this year than last. All I can say is for everyone out there talking about us not competing with these west teams? With the exception of Peabody I think we're there with anyone. Just wait and see.

    • 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. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
