Lincoln County has fired their coach, halfway through his (bad so far) second season. My guess is they're trying to give themselves time to gear up to go after a big hire to try to salvage the program after a run of about 15 mediocre to bad seasons.

LCHS Coach Released

Seems like ever since the new super rolled into town the Football program has gone down hill.

LCHS only had two winning seasons in the seven prior to his arrival, and we all know Fayetteville City has had a huge impact in the last five years or so.  Impossible to even remotely (and credibly) argue that this coincides with the Director of Schools.

It's worse even than than that. Including this season, they've only had 2 winning seasons in the last 13, and their last really good year was 2003.

City currently has far better athletes and is now a big factor, but it only came into existence in 2011 and wasn't a power until 2019, after Palmer retired. LCHS started a fade after 2003 and was already pretty bad by Thompson's last two seasons, prior to City's launch. The down years now span 4 coaches from Thompson to Rose.

All of the athletes in LC go to the Fayetteville City school and play small school ball. LC will never be competitive unless that changes.

All student athletes in Lincoln County attended LCHS from 1979-2011.

They had a 12 year long “glory era” from 1982-93 with 3 state championships.  Truly a  great run.

Since 1994, they’ve gone 9-20 in the playoffs and made it to the 3rd round once in almost 3 decades.

LCHS last won a post-season game in 2007.

FHS added sophomores in 2011.

He was at Law. Co also as super!  They are bad too!  He fired DT and hired his buddy TJ (no teaching job) then had to fire his man and then he hires Rose (no teaching job)  had to fire him, another retired Alabama person in the system double dipping.  He also hired a dude to coach basketball from alabama.  That guy even told him he would be in murfreesboro at the state tournament in 3 years! They were also bad.    Funny!   Go ahead just lay it all on Fayetteville City.   Make excuses.  No doubt the only reason you won in the past were those kids at Fayetteville city.  You do not have those kids.  It has been a long time.  Go compete!  Hire a good solid coach.  That is exactly the mentality the kids have now days. They listen to people making excuses for them.   Feel sorry for yourself.  Great mentality!  If you were actually a pullinGuard I hope you didn't go out and think wow the only reason I get to play is because all the good players are at Fayetteville city!

No doubt Fayetteville City has AAA athletes that Lincoln Co. needs to compete. No coach can win at that level with A athletes.

Did you see the statistics since 1994?  9-20 in the post-season, one 3rd round appearance in decades, no post-season win since 2007, etc. 
 

LCHS didn’t win WITH the athletes who now stay at FHS.

Is he the super at Lawrence County now?  How good are they now? When were they consistently good?

As for Alabama double-dippers, how big of a problem did you have with John Meadows?  He was the best, so I have no issue with Alabama double dippers in general.  Why do you?  Being in a geographic spot where your options are better because of that is a positive, not a negative.

There is no magic.  I hope they can find a good coach who can put them in a better spot.  But anyone who thinks the players don't matter is delusional.  

I have no problem with Fayetteville's success - happy for them and with them.  There is no magic solution and no quick one at LCHS.  The best news for LC is that they have shown that they are willing to spend the money to hire a top level coach and there is good support in the community.  Hopefully they can find one who is really good at winning with fewer athletes that many/most teams he will play.  I hope that they do, but I know it's not as simple a typing a bunch of nonsense like you just did.  

And no, I wasn't worried about Fayetteville City when I played, because all of those guys were playing with me at LCHS.

    • 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.
