I know the dynamics are different there than here out west but that's surprising to hear. He could probably come out this way and start a program at a public or private and have his choice of just about any kid he wanted. I would guess that Rankin is a name that the parents will know. The names McCallie and Baylor loom over the name Rankin in that area...program vs person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But idk when a guy comes to the area that has won more than both programs combined I'd at least give him a punchers chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took Dilfer 3 yrs but a much different situation. Don't forget that the Baylor coach isn't that far off in Ships and has SEC coaching experience. It may not matter on the field, but tell a kid/parent that and I think it makes a difference. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. Dilfer may have had a different situation, but he had as many or more posters with the opinion that he would not succeed for various reasons...all of them were wrong.

Very true. Foks think it is Dilfer in isolation. The staff that he put together is second to none. The NFL strength coach is one of the more impressive hires to me.

reaction Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Bucs will be ready for 2022. Great group coming up, and talent up from the past 2 years. Am I saying we will win state, no, but will be be much improved, no doubt. And 2023 should be way better. I'm liking what is about to happen at Boyd Buchanan. Great people make great things happen.

chs1984 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 On 3/3/2022 at 9:02 AM, stephenhargisunderstudy said: I"m going to politely disagree. Looking at the past 5 years, Boyd has stunk. I would argue Red Bank, Tyner, E. Ham, are definitely schools you could pull kids from. But Baylor and McCallie run Chattanooga. CCS is better than Boyd in the same region. Silverdale is also on the rise. Notre Dame in the mix also. As far as being crazy to not go play for Rankin, he isn't a household name to kids from Howard School, or Brainerd, or Tyner. And Boyd Buchanan might as well not exist if you are an urban kid from East Chatt. The truth is if you aren't Baylor or McCallie, it's slim pickings. No way these smaller schools have the financial backing of the two big boys. And honestly -- if you are pulling Ham. county kids... you gotta beat out McCallie for top talent. Slightly off topic- But RE Rankin not being a household name, the closest that Maryville High came to losing during their 74 game winning streak when they were 4A was a 1st Round playoff game against Brainerd. Why was the game so close? My theory is that the Brainerd kids had never heard of Maryville, and as such were not defeated before they got off of the bus.

LA got players in that school unlike ANY other program in the state. Nobody saw LA changing what they’ve done historically to win championships.
