I can’t put my finger in it, but Greenbrier needs to do something different.   I’ll usually defend the Cats to the death but what is it with them?  Last year they produced several college recruits, including for The Vols.   Not so much this year.  
 

Still, we never are consistent.  It hurts to say, but this year we aren’t even mediocre.  I understand we’re a small town with a small pool of talent,  but something in the scores tell me we’re needing a new formula.  Maybe sticking with the former Bobcat players (even from the 70’s or 80’s) as coaches when they were on mediocre teams themselves is shooting ourselves in the foot?   
 

No hard feelings toward current coaches, but I am thinking we need a new mentality with new blood at the helm.  Will the powers that be ever see that?  I don’t know if we keep doing what we always have done, we’ll keep getting what we’ve always gotten.  
 

What are some of the things others think would help?  Just curious.

I’m an old Bobcat and I know Greenbrier is in an extremely tough Region. Still, games are Won and Lost in the trenches. In today’s game, I don’t see guys firing off the ball and beating their man in front of them. Low man Wins! Whether that’s Greenbrier or whoever, a lot of teams play finesse football. I miss the old school smash mouth football.  
 

I’ll post it separately, but what do y’all think of Greenbrier vs Heritage on Friday night?

Jason, I think the Patriots are up and the Cats are down. Hate to say it but I see Heritage winning by at least 10.  
 

Coach Murray and The Pats are proving the point of my post.  New blood, new game plan.

1. A real strength program. Whatever they are doing is not working.

2. Some speedy skill players to show up for school and practice.

3. A coach that does not get bored with working on the fundamentals. 80% of the game.

4. A fresh perspective on the sidelines.

 

No reason not to be at least a playoff team.

Seriously after Friday I totally agree. Looking at GB they have No reason not to be a playoff team. They have size on the line and at the skill position. The have a QB and #11 who I fill should also be in the back field!! They have decent team speed.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
