I think hate is too strong a word.  The man was just an inept coach.   He cost us in two games against hampton in 13 and 14.  In a short essay,  he just underachieved with some very talented teams.  The young man we have now will demand accountability.  Cloudland became really good overnight. 

Forecast for friday night is crystal clear with a warm temp of 32 at kickoff.   

That makes sense...some of those teams had the talent to go fairly deep in the post season and i always wondered abot the coaching. I appre iate the input brother. Go landers take it to them and represent carter county

I wouldn't get a petition, I'd call the school and tell them what I thought. This could be the straw that broke the Yellow Jackets back.

I’m not starting any petition. I don’t have a kid playing anymore. I’m just a Cloudland fan with an opinion. I played on the home side and same as most cland posters here.I thought it to be a rough, muddy, loud, intimidating, sideline. I was in the stands when our team came out for the first time ever and ran over to the the far side of the field to play Powell V. Our fans were not happy but I told ppl it would be ok. At that time I thought there was some tactical advantage to being on that side. But after watching the first round lose in 2003.  I was convinced any advantage gained was lost if the other team got the momentum. Saw it again when on homecoming Jellico being behind 21-0  at haft comes back to beat us. I guess maybe it don’t matter. The county will probably consolidate the Highschool before long.  All I know is that nasty home side of the field grew some nasty mean cloudland players. What don’t kill you only makes you stronger. Coalfield will be right at home bc there Stands practically go straight to the players benches.

I'm not so sure I would want a change this late in the season. While it does sound good to have your boys in front of the home side fans, this could easily create unwelcome distraction. The last thing you want to see happen is to have your boys get caught up in all the hype and lose focus in a very important game. Just my two cents. Hope we get a chance to play the winner of this game. Good luck to both teams.

Good point.  They may not be able to handle being so close to all that cheering. Lol. But it could seriously be a hindrance to a new coaches

Guess its Zac's call, I'm sure he will do whatever he thinks is best for the team. I do understand your reasoning.

A good probability of early frost being on the field at kickoff. Might be a little slick starting out but we've had a lot of dry weather.  Once they get out there running around it should be good.  

I like rt from Coalfield he is a good fan but I'm rolling with the Benefield express,time for a new face in the Semis.Go Landers!

It will be a good one and Honestly you all probably have the upper hand with a more versatile offense BUT they have the ability to just run it down peoples throat!

I am slowly getting there but feeling much better.Thx for the well wishes!

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
