Greeneville 2024 will they compete?

I think Greeneville will have the athletes to still make a run but will depend on if we get out coached. 

Greeneville showed that we could throw the Ball against Upperman with over 200 yards passing but it was to little to late with not mixing it up between Quillen running the ball and the passing game (Zayden Anderson's 2 receiving TD's kept us in the game).  I got chastised on here by so called Greeneville fans for saying we needed to be more balanced and spread the ball around and couldn't just rely on the D and Quillen running the ball late in the play-offs (Which sadly I was right).  We also need to make better adjustments as a coaching staff in game.  I don't care how good our D was when we didn't go to a Bear Front when Upperman was running it down our throats (Hard to play 8 on 6 in the box no matter how good your front 6 are).  Lets see if we will finally learn to do that and if not then no we won't compete outside of the first few round of the playoffs

How about getting a new HC. Is that a possibility in the future. Too much talent to consistently lose at home to inferior teams.

How many do we graduate? Key losses and what do we have coming back? That upperman game so extremely frustrating to watch and I'll leave it at that. 

Starters Greeneville loses are #4,#10, #63,#33,#44,#9,#8,#2,#52,#80.  Key Starters or Contributors we have coming back are #12,#20,#54,#65,#3, #1, #11,#55, #14,#77 (rotated on the D line).  Graduating a great Senior Class that has a lot of starts under their belt especially on D.  Luckily the JV team has been very successful over the past years along with the middle school and will see how that translates to Varsity Ball.  If we can fill in holes on D and on the Oline and give #7 time to get the ball in our speedy Wr hands  we will be alright (We already know what #12 can do with the ball in his hands running or receiving) and as long as we can make in game changes like stated before.

The title of this thread "Greeneville 2024 will they compete?" could mean a lot of things, i.e., what defines being able to compete?                 Does that mean winning the state title?              Or getting to the title game?               Or winning x number of playoff games?

The term "compete" probably means different things to each of us.           Here's my thoughts, if by "compete" we mean Greeneville gets to the 3 round then I would say YES, that is highly likely to happen.             Greeneville may have a few coaching internal things going on and the usual high school drama, but for at least the past decade they have laid the foundation as a major player in 4A and I do not see that going away any time soon.

When we say Compete it means Compete for a State Championship.  Now thats changed over the years because when I played Compete meant competing for a Conference championship in the old IMAC and there were only 5 classifications.  Since that 2007 season (My senior year)  Greeneville has won 15 Conference Championships in 17 years and have made the Quarter finals 14 times and the Semi's 7 in the same time frame.

I feel the same way at this point, at best, even if you think your team can make the state; it's way too early to say that. I will say compete because they have potential. With so many variables, I can see why Swipes says compete. I am also seeing the Mavs competing very well but the have to replace the entire backfield. Pretty confident in staff getting this ready and pretty confident Davey will have a quarterback ready and what I believe is we bring in a dual option QB. Again with that type of QB we will need to have a good backup.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
