Trent didn’t rip anyone with his coaching. LA went out an sold its soul to get players in that were just substantially better overall than other teams. This LA team is very talented but with long time NFLers and high school all Americans that BA had in the 1990’s this LA team would have had their hands full and then some. Heck, Ingles MBA team would have had a good showing against this LA team. 

I'll never convince you otherwise but being on the "inside" I disagree that LA sold it's soul.  My son is a better young man for playing for him.  He has grown so much spiritually and has dear friends that look different than he does and that will serve him well.  Trent infused energy into a very lethargic campus and brought back pride and passion to not only the football program but the school as a whole.  There is a waiting list for almost all grades which has not been the case in a long long time.  Hopefully the next coach can achieve some measure of success but I know it will be difficult.

Difficult is what Dilfer inherited when he accepted the job... next guy isn't guaranteed the same success, but if the administration is still bought in and follows the same formula, the odds are now in your favor.

We beat Bolles in '99 at MBA.  The return trip there in 2000 happened in a hurricane and should have been cancelled, but we went there anyways and got beat, and were later awarded the win because Bolles played ineligible players in the game.  Hunter Hillenmeyer was on those teams and had a long career in the NFL.  Those MBA teams from '98-'00 coached by Ricky Bowers could compete with anyone.

I forgot about Hillenmeyer. As I recall, he wasn't a super highly regarded prospect when he went to Vanderbilt, but he exceeded expectations there and then far exceeded them in what turned out to be a very solid NFL career.

- I thought dilfer showed restraint with the score.  he ground out the whole second half with no huge chunk plays that I can remember.  

- best i could tell, spillman hit him as he threw the ball and it wasn't malicious.  it's football.  

- sorry they didn't play back-ups the way you wanted.  

 

I didn't say it was malicious. I just noticed that the player had no intention of coming off the field after getting called for the penalty.  Watch most D2 teams around here and the players come right off regardless of the penalty.  Like I said - a different brand and a different level.

    • 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.
