How about win a game you are not supposed to win with this coach? I'm 100% positive this coach has never upset anyone in season or in the playoffs while at Upperman. Hard for a team to make a pass to the championship without doing that. Can't just beat up on cupcakes year end and year out and expect the same respect. 
Too much talent on the roster returning to not make some noise and make a deep run in the playoffs. LOL might need to run something other than power and counter to accomplish that!

Hard to upset teams when 9/10 your the FAV! get a grip this program has turned around major in last 4 years he hasn't lost a region game... still building and growing as a program

He’s made the semis twice in the last four years what do you call making noise and a deep run in the playoffs. Upperman had 5 winning seasons before Caine got here. Maybe you should have your mom send some more pizza rolls down to the basement. You don’t act like yourself when you’re hungry.

This is got to be one of the stupidest post I’ve ever read . You obviously don’t know a whole lot about Football just a nuff to get yourself in trouble…He is the winningest coach in the history of the football program at Upperman High School, it only took him 4  years…. He has been to two semi finals in four years, been to the playoffs all four years and never lost A region game, no matter what classification Upperman is in !!!!.. There is no other coach in the upper Cumberland that could have done this job, if you think there’s one ……..who ? And why is he not at Upperman instead of Caine ? Personally I think we’re very blessed to have this man and I think the football program is in very capable hands, he’s in the top 5 in the state for winning percentage, I agree that some bad things happened The last game, but we had two kids Hurt that played anyways.  The football  boys , coaches and Especially Caine do not  deserve to hear the negative crap that you’re putting out there. If you can’t support any better than this maybe you just need to walk away !!!! I personally think they had a wonderful year and we’re lucky to have Coach Caine ….. GO BEES

Only 4 seasons in and people are already complaining? Is this Upperman or UT? Take a good hard look at the program that put you out. Witten took 15 years to get this program where it is, and was out coached a few times along the way too. It’s just part of the learning curve. Don’t be so fast to dismiss a coach when you’re headed in the right direction. I see a handful of schools who are always in that top echelon of their sport. Always in the playoffs and always quarterfinals or better. If you can win at least 2 playoff games, consistently, you’re in a good place. Top 8 in your class is not a bad place to be. I know, being close every year gets frustrating. Ask a yearly 5-5 team if they’ll trade places with you.

    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
