Blaster you heard of anyone else they’re considering besides the “stache?”

I haven't been trying to get more information. I know when DD resigned last time only Brewer had applied. I couldn't imagine anyone this late applying with so little time before the season.

Alcoa---Now that is a reach.....They played CAK close many moons ago....when Polk had one their really good teams and DD had a great game-plan to give the Wildcats a fighting chance.

In any case, not re-hiring Coach would set just be a vindictive action by the Director of Schools and School Board. What has Polk County done without Larry or Derrick Davis.....? Coach is Red and Blue all the way.....Who are they going to hire that is better? When DD has had good and even average players, he is going to be competitive. It is small rural high school football, it has its ups and downs. Coach has had a lot more ups than downs. Got a great place to play, wonderful atmosphere for Friday Night football....For all that is holy, bring the "stach" back to the home sidelines at Larry Davis Stadium 

Very well said I can't add anything to that.

I know 2010 Polk was exceptionally good and did compete with Alcoa

I dont think Davis is exactly the right move I just dont think his brand of football is what kids play for anymore I personally believe they need someone new that knows football, kids would play for, and could help them win

The staches style of play is certainly outdated a few years. I love the style of play but it’s hard to compete at a high level with that style of play anymore.

I'm not sure many knew of the job being open. How was word spread they were looking for a coach? Was it on the TSSAA website? As blaster posted, DDs brand isn't the style this generation desires. They are exposed to high flying uptempo high scoring offenses on Saturdays and Sundays. To go from that excitement to slow paced wing, is not the best way to recruit the hallways and there are some kids walking that school that could contribute. That being said is there anyone he could bring kn staff to possibly change the offense, and if not DD, is there any incentive for someone to take the Polk job? Admin support, funding, pay, or daily schedule? How do they stack up against other local schools? Would it benefit an assista t at another school to apply and get it or would that possibly ruin a person's coaching career? So many questions, but the big one is, did they even bother putting effort into getting applications or were their minds made up before Brewer stepping down was released to the public?

I never seen it posted on the TSSAA website. Maybe I missed it.

That could explain why there hasn't been many applicants. Which would also prevent any discussion of potential qualified candidates. If the school board won't let DD take over, they just wasted an opportunity to get applications in and start the review process, even if their minds were made up. Should have had a plan B if plan DD doesn't work.

Maybe they do have another idea.

Out of curiosity is he unhappy at Rhea?

I don't think so he's unhappy but Polk is his home and dream job. Just the way things went with he administration soured that. I personally would love to see him back as I've said before. He cares for the kids and I know the offense is definitely old school but Davis does get a lot out of very little being a small school. Time will tell I guess. I know when my youngest starts playing if this isn't straighten out with the administration my he will be playing in Bradley county. Been looking to move all my kids to that school system anyways. Nothing against the teachers at all but the way it's run is a complete joke. Sorry for the rant towards the end.

    • I think you’re referring to Corbin. That year Corbin went 14-2, losing the state championship to Boyle County. I believe Boyle County has been nationally ranked a few times so obviously they’re no trashy team. Corbin doesn’t sound like a bad football team to me, especially being how Boyle County is 12 time state champions and usually barely knocks Corbin out. That year tho I think Boyle beat them by a few but still a state appearance. I also think that Alcoa game went to OT but I’m not quite for sure. Alcoa is a legit program, just take a couple years ago for example, the 32nd best ranked team in New York came down to Alcoa (not quite sure what they were thinking) and got absolutely pummeled 44-6. Alcoa has beat good teams, they’re not playing nobodies. 
    • You haven seen much football if the Blackman vs Bowling Green game u speak of is the worst officiated game you have ever seen.  Everyone on here swears Blackman was cheated, but i just can not agree.  Rewatched it on youtube, and there are a couple Blackman fans near the camera that out to be ashamed of the crap that came out of there mouths.  I dont know much about Blackman, but i didnt get a very good impression of them having much class by there entrance to the field, and instead of running on to there sideline running to the other teams sideline to cut them off when they went to run to there sideline.  Then before much is even happened in the game fans near the camera swearing they are being cheated.  Seemed like a fairly good called game till Blackman started losing there composure.  Embarassing hearing the blacmn fans making fun of someone on the other team possibly getting hurt, and calling players on the other team a dumbass.  The reason they lost thatgame was because they gave that necarious fant kid a 5 yard cushion over, and over, and over, and everytime he would catch it and get another 7 after the catch.  3rd or 4th and 1 lets give the best player on the other team a 5 yard cusion, and let him catch it when we need a stop even though he has gotten 12 yards on that play repeatedly.  Then the last touchdown on 4th down was a completly different play, but great throw, and great route and catch by fant for the last td they did not defend it very well, and it would have been a blackman win if they make that 4th, and long stop, but they didnt cover the best player on the field very well, and he caught it with the closest player 3 yards away from him.  Just give Bowling Green credit for making the plays to win.  We look stupid constantly saying they got cheated.  They straight up got beat, but no shame,bowling Green had a heck of a team.  People just dont want to give any credit to the other team when they are beat especially when its out of state.  Ive talked alot of crap to fans of kentucky teams, but we get ridicilous too often on here.  I remember the Union City fans saying how they would run it down the other teams throat playing a kentucky team.  They claimed we will run it up the middle all night, and those early 3 yard gains will turn into 12 yard gains by the 4th quarter cause thats how we always wear other teams down, and always win.  They proceded to get there #### whooped 2 years in a row then dropped that team from there schedule, and i have to give those kentucky fans credit they called it before the first year they played.  They said we will beat Union City these 2 years, and they will not renew because Union City has done this in the past before.  Went to one of those games, and the other team ran defensive lineman in every few plays, and by the 4th quarter it was union city that was wore out, and there rushing game failed late.  Instead of giving the other team credit for stopping there run game late they cried that we was gassed after bragging that we always gas the other team out by the 4th they couldnt handle that another team smartly threw fresh bodies in most of the night, and kept there starters much fresher for late in the game.  They basically put backups in on half the plays, and settled with giving up alot of yards to keep the 1s fresh for the 4th.  Instead of giving them credit the excuses came well we where gassed if we would have played later in the season we would have won its hot, and early in the year, so thats why we lost its all just excuses.  It aint like there is a rule that says UC couldnt rotate some in on there oline, and rotate a couple running backs so there starters would b fresh for the end.  They got beat because the other team smartly used depth, plus they couldnt stop the other teams offense.  We cant give credit to the other team when we lose we must find an excuse mentality espececially if its an out of state team there is no way anyone from another state in paticular kentucky can be as good or better than us.  After just watching that Blackman game they just straight up got beat.
    • What’s sad Barney is the cards in the deck are stacked against them.  With the success the MAVS are having just down I-75, any talented players are heading that way. I always said what the Price twins did there was second to none, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game is the ceiling there. On a great year, maybe a q-final appearance but that is a big stretch.  Finding a coach there is very tough. I feel for the new coach, he’s in a very bad situation and I’m not sure he even realizes it. I understand he wants to be positive and have hope, but I don’t see them scratching a win. Maybe he will prove me wrong.  
    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
    • Should be a big week in Dayton coming up with the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
