Is RUCO football overrated?


Recommended Posts

Back when it was 7AAA there were years where all of those teams at one point or another was making deep runs. Now that all of that talent is mainly going to one school in particular, you see how unbeatable they look in 6A ball. That is what I was telling folks 10 years ago when the select  7AAA team would go play Maryville every year and lose a close matchup in the Semis. The talent was being divided up way more in the Boro across that many schools vs what was getting divided up in Maryville. 

Smyrna, Riverdale, Oakland, Blackman and Siegel all had some really good years at one point or another back then.

Always hearing the “SEC” of HS football. But I guess they are…. Oakland is AL/GA then everyone else.

Also just seen your "slight" at the SEC there at the end. Every Power 5 college conference has good & bad teams. SEC just has more good teams, and less bad teams than whatever your favorite conference is. Deal with it.

There are Eight 6A schools in Rutherford County. Let's hypothetically put one in each of the state's 8 regions. How many would win or finish runner's up in that region? I think RuCo can hold it's own.

Any given year, any given team.  1st or 2nd every year in every region…no.  But they can hold their own.

    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job. 
    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with.
