The New Word of the Day at William Blount is Office and Pee Cup.

Not much interest anymore from outsiders since Shad left Office job as the football coach and headed out of town in his Pee Cup truck.

I figured Barney would have all the answers with William Blount & how spring ball is going. Weird how, this thread was number #1 for years and now can not crack the top 25. Must of been a lot of insider trading information going on to get the program silent (Which is strange due to who they hired, he does not strike me as a silent person) .:roflolk:

First thing is first, most of this started when Ridge took over and losing to the worst team in the state in 6A Bearden. It really didn't work out good for him at Greenback so why give him the Titanic to drive when he wasn't doing very well with a row boat( Greenback). Then along came Shad with so much baggage from Blackman right in the middle of an investigation when they all but told the middle school coach he was going to be the man. What a stink bomb that was. Then Shad comes in realizing what he had stepped into and applications were hitting every fax machine in the state for coaching vacancies you could think of, even Sequoyah turned him down, I guess someone must read Coach T down there. I will give Robert a benefit of a doubt for one reason and that is he wanted the job and a opportunity plus he has had some experience at Karns in the past. I think Robert is a good man but this won't be an easy job especially after what all this program has been through the past dozen years. I may be wrong because I don't know but someone told me the qb left over a difference in the offense he was going to run but like I say that is from a third party. I know Maryville lost a real good player to WB and we all hope him nothing but the best. Far as spring I have not been to one practice anywhere because I've been busy as a one handed wall paper hanger.

How did that experience at Karns workout? Didn’t he get fired?

Yes he did.  There was a fight amongst players on a morale building field trip that carried over once they returned to school.  Allegedly the coach failed to report the incident and so they got him for violating the field trip protocols (paper work) and said he failed to supervise properly.  6-24 at Karns.

Karns has never been an easy job. When he was there I know that's when GCA which is very near had just started up and was getting loads of their players during the time Robert was at Karns. This years 7-5 Karns was the best record that school has had since 1971 50 years ago when they went 8=3. For fifty years it's been the black eye of Knoxville Football like Heritage has been for the past 33 years with WB fighting hard for a piece of that pie every now and then.

Not much different than Rang getting fired at Powell going to take a we we during class. Powell paid dearly hiring an absolute clown of high school football for a coach while Derek was winning a state championship on the other side of the state.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • 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.
