I can certainly understand why he left Blackman then.  My question now is this.   What has he done as a head coach to warrant the salary?  No rings, not even a region championship.   Sure he brings lots of excitement and a air raid up tempo offense but until he actually wins something then he hasn't won anything. 

Booger bettin theyrs a decision maker or couple or 3 or 5 decision makers up in blueraider nation that have the answers  ttitans27 in dire need of......but until those decision makers tells us why they didnt choose no gold ball carrier....

....let ttitan27 dangle us with who that feller was supposed to turn that place back to challenge regions and oakland...

Booger just sayin :thumb:

Tygard had three good athletes.  They graduated and he left.  Cleveland can afford to pay him double?  If true that's very sad for Blackman.  Doubtful he doubled though.  Uhhh....the game with Oakland.  Woulda, coulda, shoulda.  No prize for 3 or 4th or whatever blackman came in.

Cleveland is able to pay him double and then some with the incentives he can earn! Wish they woulda paid me that but either way, Cleveland has the funds and as long as he wins they will continue to show him the money!

I have a beef with Tygard.  Not a personal one because I've never met him and I have never heard one negative thing about his morals or actions.  I wish him nothing but the best personally and professionally.  

My beef is with his coaching style.  It's not sustainable.  I've never been a fan of coaches, employees, preachers or political folks that come in hard and fast with lots of commotion.  Sure it brings the excitement and enthusiasm to a program and that's a good thing but that style can't last forever.  Life and careers are marathons, not sprints.  Go heavy all the time and you WILL burn out.  Right now Cleveland and Tygard are still on their honeymoon.  Can't get enough of each other.  How about a year or two from now?  How will he do without elite transfers?  At Blackman he had a D1 QB, reciever and tight end all on the field at the same time.  Hard not to score lots of points with those guys.  They were exceptional athletes with almost no negatives.  Flip side is that his defense was horrible.  Is that the best he could coach them up?  He didn't have the ability to manage his DC to get better results?  

My points are this.  He hasn't done anything to warrant the salary yet.  The money is wonderful for him and his family's financial security for certain so happy for him for that but until he wins a region championship or a gold ball, then his resume looks exactly as it does now.  Second point is that I don't think his style will last in the long run.  Hard and fast is fun and exciting but slow and steady wins the race.  If in his shoes my primary focus would be hiring the best DC available.

He hired the only DC in the area that's won a State Championship in Chattanooga for a public school in the past decade.

Cleveland needs the flash and the excitement right now. The program needs a bolt of energy and he brings a ton of it. Only time will tell if he’s worth the money.

I get where you are coming from, but the first thing you have to do to win games is get kids and people excited and believing you can win games.  With excitement comes fresh players and transfers.  If Bradley Central has 5-7 receivers and throw it 10 times a game, how many looks is a kid gonna get with 15 receptions and 110 yards on the season? You can bet Mom and Dad are moving Jr to a school where he has a chance to showcase his talent. Get a couple receivers signed to college and all of a sudden the train starts rolling. Look what Creasy has done for running backs at Oakland. As soon as one leaves 1 or 2 transfer in.  That said I got laid off yesterday after a long time with my company.  So when you talk about someone's merit I defer back to what the ole Cowboy said about the ole grey mare. She is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for her.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
