When we played Rankin’s ‘92 Riverdale team in the playoffs, they threw it a lot more than any Rankin team I saw in future years. Their passing attack was the difference in the outcome of the game. 

Even when a Rankin Team throws the ball it is 90% to a spot or 30+ yard post route. ALL Called plays....ZERO RPO..........

Sam Vaulton make a check down and threw a TD against AE. He got his butt chewed for not running the play as called from the sideline. Sam was a National Championship winning 7 on 7 QB with years of RPO coaching. Hence why he left Alcoa for CA.

You make it sound like an RPO is rocket science...

Even the most basic of spread offenses that you will see at the high school level will have 2 to 3 options of where to throw the ball on most every play. Most will actually have 6 options - the 4 receivers, the running back, and the QB running the ball.

 

No, it isn't rocket science... but it is a little more complex than to say that it is just throw the ball here or throw the ball there.

 

I highly doubt that Coach Rankin, or any coach for that matter, would "go off" on his QB for making a check down to one of the other receivers running a route in any particular play. He may point out that other options were open/more open and should have been where the ball should have been thrown.

A 6 option RPO? You guys must be really smart

 

RPOs are not complex...

In all honesty, it sounds more complex than it is...

 

The first option is always to give the RB the ball on the run play.

 

Then if the read takes the run away, the QB then pulls the ball and transitions to his secondary read, which is typically a flat defender/outside linebacker. 

 

Reads then work out from inside out or low to high on which receiver to throw the ball to.

 

If it is a trips set where there are 3 receivers to that side, options 2, 3, and 4 are those 3 receivers. 

 

Option 5 is a checkdown to a crossing backside receiver on a slant or dig route.

 

Option 6 is for the QB to run the ball himself.

 

 

 

Rarely do you see an offense at the high school level of carrying it out past first 2 to 3 options. Most high school QBs will get the first read on the give/keep on the run play. Then their second read/option is the first receiver. After that, they typically tuck and run and never get to the rest of the options

Back to the original point, Rankin isn't going to completely change his offensive philosophy. His has worked pretty well for him over the years. It's not broken. It doesn't need to be fixed.  

The OC works for him. Not the other way around.

Not a lot of use for that guy. Five years ago he was hired as the head coach of Ocoee Middle school program. With less than a week before the first game he bailed on kids to go be a position coach at McMinn. Karma is coming for that guy. 

Yeah.  

Not too many people that I know in Fountain City are heartbroken that he's gone.

    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
