Talented Young Coaches

[Guest Lowdown]

I was just wondering some of the names, of young coaches, that we will be hearing about for the next few years.

All you coaches and players please drop some of the names of the best assistant coaches. Name some that do a good job at your school, or at a rival school.

 

Please remember that I said young. I know that their are alot of head coaches out there that always get the press.

Let's talk about some of the guys that are behind some of these good football teams.

Paul Wade, CPA

Assistant Head Coach

Defensive Coordinator

Off/Def Line Coach

What about Jeff Rutledge? He won a state title in his 1st season as a head coach in high school football. Do you think that Coach Bryant may have taught him anything?

[oldchsman]

Did you even bother to read Lowdown's message over what this thread is about?

[CoachFB]

David Watson, offensive Coordinator at Blackman High School is a up and coming young coach. He was Offensive line coach at Riverdale prior to moving to Blackman. The future is very bright for him.

David Barger and Larry Ziegler at Marion County and excellent coaches and very hard workers. Also, Jon Calhoun at South Pittsburg is a excellent coach and hard worker. All three are young, enthusiastic and faithful to there programs.

Will Hester needs to be mentioned here. He is the defensive coordinator at LaVergne High School and assistant head coach. Does a very good job. Should get a head job soon.

Rob Speas - D Coordinator - Austin East

Will Hester - D Coordintor - Lavergne

 

Both are young (25 or 26) and very talented. They were high schools teamates at Brentwood High, class of 95.

 

Speas helped direct Austin East to the state title last year in his 1st year of coaching.

Kingston assistant head coach/def coordinator Robby Collier

Midway head coach Craig Moser

Midway assistant coaches Adam Houston & Wiley Brackett

[SpaceCowboy]

Spencer Riley- offensive coordinator, Karns High

Rocky Riley- offensive coordinator, South-Doyle High

 

Both of these coaches are in the middle of major rebuilding projects. They coach with enthusiasm, discipline, and teach great technique. They will both make good head coaches in high school, unless they skip off to college jobs.

I'd have to say Joe Hurst (o-line) at Halls is a tremendous "young" coach. Halls won 5 games with little talent in the trenches, and probably should have won a couple more if they could put together a secondary. This man deserves the utmost congratulations.

Coach Pratt of Crockett County has pulled arguably one of the best program turnaround jobs in state history. I believe Coach Pratt is around 35 or 36 and should have a bright future ahead of him. I would love to see him take a position coach job at a big time college program and work his way up through the ranks and maybe be a big time head coach one day at the D1 level. That may not be his personal goal but I think he has the personality, mind,and work ethic to be a big time coach at the next level.

 

Coach Andy Brady (same age as Coach Pratt), Crockett County's defensive coordinator is a true player's coach. You won't find a single defensive player for Crockett County who has ever played for him that doesn't love him to death. Year in and year out, Crockett County has a consistently tough and hard nosed defense that seems to get better and better as the year goes along. I was fortunate enough to play under both and, as my teamates would also tell you, I feel like I was made a better person through their instruction. Crockett County is lucky to have both and I hope they do what is necessary to keep them here.
