What’s the talk around town. I did go to the scrimmage today looked like that let we’re awake to move the ball.  Defensive line looked good.  Not sure how many kids were missing if any.  Hoping for a great year for the Dragons.   

YAI is my region 2 pick with a couple of “if’s” but in the end I expect y’all to be on top or certainly in the hunt.

I just saw where York has hired a new director of schools.  Will this effect their football in any way?

I don’t know but it’d be their luck. They seem to have a coach with a good football IQ willing to stick around and a talented group returning so it’d be about right a new admin egg head to come in and screw it up. Hopefully they’ll leave them be.

I went to the spring game they had twobpaid coaches in staff.  How does a school only have two paid coaches. Maybe the new director will allow them to hire some qualified teachers that can coach as well.  

That’s how it is in Greene county....and the supplement is less than a $1 an hour once you calculate it out.

Same at Greenback and Oneida but we do have one non faculty position here but I believe it’s something like $500 per season so virtually nothing for an 11 month gig. Most coaching staffs are mostly volunteers. Just the way it is at a lot of places.

With small rural communities the head coaches are usually stuck with whoever was there before.  They don't get to bring in their staff.  That is one reason hiring former alumni is usually a good thing.  They will kind of know who in the community might be a good volunteer coach where is an outsider is truly at the mercy of whoever gets to them first and recommendations of people they don't know.  It is a tough situation for smaller schools with limited funds.

From the coaching staff I have seen the majority of them have been involved in football in some capacity in Fentress County for many years.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • 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.
