Gore is a great man and did good things in a tough environment at McGavock.  Wish him well at whatever he has lined up next.

I'm not disagreeing with this at all. However McGavock is an average metro job at best anyways.  I don't see it getting any big names from out of county simply because I don't view it as one of the be

That statement is delusional at best. They dressed about 30 by the end of the season this year and that is after EVERYONE passed last spring.  Baskin doesn't move the needle with who matters most, the middle school kids that are all being pulled elsewhere. They don't come to their zoned school nothing changes.

fb247 is right. There could be competitive teams across the board if Metro would go back to zones. But they will not and so neither will there be more than 4 teams. 5 more years half the schools will be in a co-op situation. Metro leadership has destroyed the school system both athletically and academically.

No disrespect buy Bobby cant fix that job. They need some new blood. Mcg is one of the biggest schools in the state with 30 kids. Its not cause they lack them, its about relationships and selling your program. If you sit back and let PC keep taking your kids then how can you complain. PC or MCg , the choice is not hard especially if you didnt try to build a relationship with your feeder schools.

Forgive me, but they haven’t been competitive even once in the 40 years that I have followed Tennessee high school football that I can recall. Despite being among the state’s largest schools.

Baskin has much experience and tremendous knowledge. He has great rapport with players after they learn they can trust him. I believe he can organize and lead his staff. The only quality he lacks in bringing success to McGavock is possibly recruiting. Recruiting kids in your feeder schools is necessary in this day. Perhaps he could find a young coach or coaches who could assist in that area.

They had a couple of pretty good years. I'm going to say like 2014 and 2015. I know in 14 they beat a very good Franklin team.

I don’t know all that much about metro football. I just remember that when I was in Tennessee the 4 largest schools in the state every year were them, Riverdale, Oakland and Bradley Central. You would think a school that large would stumble upon a good team once in a blue moon. Even a blind squirrel.........

You can't go by enrollment alone. Cookeville is one of the top 5 largest schools and they lose to 3A Upperman. Have a couple of blind squirrel years about 15 years ago.

 

Baskin has no rapport with the kids McGavock has to have to compete. They are all going to the 4 mentioned earlier.  He is also a  step down in pure football knowledge from Gore. The problem at McGavock has not been a scheme problem, it is a Jimmys and Joes problem and Baskin has no cure for that. 

In five years half the programs in Metro will not be able to finish a season. Kids now will not stick around a losing program. Easier to quit.

      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.
