Sweetwater Coaching Search

Recommended Posts

I was told about this last night. Meigs will be down and some kids are already transferring knowing this fact. Shame though, He's a good coach. Sweetwater has had more talent than Meigs more often than not. With a good coach if he doesn't get hammered by the parenting like the last football coach and basketball coach he will likely do really well. The only flaw out of Bunch that I seen last year is discipline was out of Control. Best luck to him.

Yeti where have you heard the Meigs kids transferring to? I’ve always thought of Meigs and McMinn as sister schools so to speak. I hate to hear Meigs losing players

Surprised but not surprised they found them a decent coach but I guess with in a lot of diffucult situations it never fails someone pops up and says "Here Hold My Beer". If that were me taking that job those assistants would have to hit the road and the parents that created this mess have two choices , keep your pie hole shut or stay at home on Friday Night. All I can say is good luck in putting this dumpster fire out and if you don't that will be two coaches in a row that gave up a lot to get nothing in return.

Something has happened behind the scenes at Meigs. Youre not going to be an assistant for as long as he was, and finally get the head coaching job like he did, and have a 12-1 season your first year to give it up to go to a dumpster fire like Sweetwater is. Everyone knows what happened at Sweetwater and how the previous coach was treated. Im sure i could find out what happened, but honestly I just dont care. It has to be bad to choose Sweetwater over what he had despite a talent level drop. That's just my opinion and assumption honestly. Nothing more. Again I wish him well. It will be funny though if we Continue the streak against Sweetwater next year. :roflol:

That being said I'm pretty sure we pay the head coach for football pretty good at Meigs. Ive heard the figure not that its entirely  accurate, but considering the amount we should be able to to afford a proven individual if one is available. Ofcourse we could get someone on staff again you never know.

He did go to central I'm told, he was already considering a transfer before Tommy left though I had heard mid season.

Your 100% right, something behind the scenes has had to happen, you don't leave because you see a bump in the road coming up. The entire system in Monroe County is a total dumpster fire and at one time Sweetwater managed through it okay but the dam finally broke on them last year. We all know how the principal got her position there and so on and so forth. I don't have to repeat myself if you read my last post. The people involved with last years fiasco should be ashamed themselves but they'll just shake it off like nothing ever happened and get ready to micromanage the new coach. Before I would move into that situation I would have came up the road another 35-40 miles and applied for one of the openings in the Knoxville area and with a 12-1 record the coach would have found a decent job somewhere.

I was told Friday night at the BB game that no one had any idea, not even the assistants, supposedly he dropped it on them Thursday. He definitely burned some bridges the way he went about this, if it doesn’t work out at Sweetwater, I don’t see him coming back to Meigs.

    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.   
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
