George Quarles and it is not really close. Give Rankin his due, but George was unmatched when the game was on the line and you need a play to win the game.

Best post yet! My thoughts, for whatever it’s worth, you couldn’t go wrong with either of these gentlemen. As I said earlier, while Rankin did walk into a gold mine at Alcoa, he built Smith Co. and Riverdale, basically from scratch. Both have amazing records, and, after his first season, George never again lost prior to the semifinals. I would give almost anything to see what both men could do coaching in Georgia. Thanks for participating. My final thoughts on this subject.

Well, he did lose one time to Morristown West in the regular season (which is before the semis) and stillwon the title. We won't be too hard on you though

Correct. I was referring to playoffs only, although I didn’t make that clear. If memory serves that was in 2001 and they avenged the loss in the playoffs.

I know that I said I was through posting on this thread, but I would like to add that I am neither pro nor anti Maryville or Alcoa. I very much respect both. When it comes to Tennessee football, I am a fan of the game. I no longer support any certain team.

I follow Ga Hs football allot. If you look at the history down there it’s the same teams that typically win every year the same as in Tennessee. Now the Georgia schools typically don’t win back to back to back state championships but they’re always competing every year-  example Valdosta Grayson Colquitt Tucker Rome Cartersville Lowndes- the parity is better because there are so many good players everywhere that move to competing schools

in Tn there are about 10-15 schools far above everyone else and in Ga that number is about 50ish schools

If either one of these guys were to coach down there at the right school/area they would win. Heck I could have coached Grayson and win every game last yr with there talent

 what’s your thoughts
