Grey was probably the best total package ( size, quickness, work ethic, character, coachable, leadership, maturity, talent, etc, ) of any HS defensive lineman I've worked with. He is something special

His dad seemed to be the root of the problem. I don't know how you expect a kid to succeed when you just pick up and move whenever you face any adversity.

Fixed it for you.

Well let's take a look if we may and I'm sure you will have a different opinion when you see the numbers for yourself.  

 

Coach Rankin currently sits at 453 Overall Wins.  That's currently good enough for #11 all-time and #7 among head coaches who are still listed as active.

 

Last Year Coach Rankin moved past:

  • John Herrington (MI) = 443 Wins
  • Jack Henzee (PA) = 444 Wins
  • Bill Castle (FL) = 450 Wins (ironically he's a 1965 graduate from Hendersonville HS)

 

The following coaches are no longer listed as 'active' and will probably also be passed by Gary Rankin by the end of 2021:

  • George Curry (PA) = 455 Wins
  • Charles "Corky" Rogers (FL) = 466 Wins

 

If I were to guess I would say that Gary Rankin will probably end the 2021 High School Football Season as the #7 ranked winningest coach of all-time.  In 2022 he will keep moving forward and take over the #6 spot by the time that season is said and done.  Of course that's just a guess and I'm basing it on Alcoa's run of success that seems like it's never going to end.  

 

Now here is a look at the All-Time Winningest Coaches for your viewing pleasure:

  • #1 John McKissick (SC) = 621 Wins
  • #2 J.T. Curtis (LA)* = 598 Wins
  • #3 Mike Smith (VA)* = 499 Wins
  • #4 Bob Hyland (WI)* = 482 Wins
  • #5 Phillip Danaher (TX)* = 480 Wins
  • #6 Larry Campbell (GA) = 477 Wins
  • #7 Charles "Corky" Rogers (FL) = 466 Wins
  • #8 Phillip Haywood (KY)* = 456 Wins
  • #8 Jim Roth (PA)* = 456 Wins
  • #10 George Curry (PA) = 455 Wins
  • #11 Gary Rankin (TN)* = 453 Wins
  • #12 Bill Castle (FL)* = 450 Wins

If the coach is listed in BOLD and has a * next to his name then he is still active as a head football coach.

Alcoa is one of the elite football programs nationally and they are coached by one of the best to ever coach at the high school level.  A lot of fans resent Alcoa for what they are and the level in which they play but at the end of the day they've grown from an area power, to a state power, to a regional power, and are now a national power.  19 State Championships and aiming for #20 this upcoming season.  Gary Rankin is entering his 40th year as a head football coach.  He's won 16 State Championships and coached in 22 State Championship Games during his Hall of Fame career. 

I personally don't see Coach Rankin retiring before he reaches the 500 win plateau which would take 4 more seasons (average at 12 wins per season).  It would also likely get him to 20 State Championships unless someone is able to pull off a monumental upset and knock off Alcoa in the playoffs.

Unless he has a genetic abnormality, this would mean he has a championship ring for every finger, and toe!

Unreal.

It's pretty good. Not as good as Last Chance U or Undefeated. That is not a knock on Alcoa, but on the production value. There is a lot of narration. Knowing stuff behind the scenes shows how much editorial license they used on these types of things. I'm glad I watched the show about the 14-1 Tornadoes.

Now I'm really intrigued. 

But don't know why.

Hmm?  

I'll give it a look - see.

      He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.

      Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!

      Head Coaching Jobs in West TN

      This is a great question. The retirement seemed a little premature. I do not know the coach personally, but I hope he has found what he is looking for. He is a fine Christian man with a lot of principle and morals about him. I wish him nothing but the best. There are some players in the box for the next coach. This is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
