Best Offensive Line Coach in da State?

[pantherfanatic]

Just wondering who you think are some of the best O-line coaches? We have some great ones up here off I-65. What about some others?

Josh Kerr @ Anderson Co. is one of the best young line coaches around. His guys love him, and, they play hard for him!

Have you noticed that there aren't many offensive line coaches that are not loved by their linemen. Offensive line coaches are a different breed, and the players usually willl run threw a wall for them. Kind of brings up the question, why are there not more offensive line coaches that are head coaches?

DARRELL WATSON AT D.B.

HE ALSO IS THE BEST DEF. COOR.

Hey Croach, you make a good point about why O-line coaches should be head coaches.

 

I know from what tackle rote that Lipscomb does have some great line coaches from the varsity down to middle school. It is not unusual for our O-line coaches to bring up and quote Lipscomb head varsity O-line coach. He must speak at a lot of clinics, Tom Taylor, is his name I think. Just imagine if he was Lipscombs head coach like what Croach said. I would imagine he next in line.

Ed Caudill, MBA. That pretty much speaks for itself. He was a gritty, hard-nosed player at Dickson County and his style rubs off on his linemen.

[Croach]

If he is from Dickson County then, I know he knows how to run block.

Mike Jones at Brentwood, userd to play for the Titans when they went to the Superbowl and coached his son down here. He is a great guy to be around and his O-line expertise is a great help to us as we have allowed only 1 sack the whole season so far.

Coach Gerald Johnson is the finest line coach that I've ever seen.

David Ellis at Maryville is as good of an O-line coach as I've been around.

Kevin Temple w/ Lipscomb's middle school program actually deserves most of the credit for their success. Most don't realize that he is meticulous and pays great attention to the finer points of the art of blocking. While most middle school coaches are drawing up trick plays in the dirt Temple is doing one more drill to improve footwork and body position. He should probably be McAdam's successor at DL, but I'm afraid it won't happen. Too many people give credit to Taylor and some green-horn defensive coordinator.

 

We all know that the unsung heroes of any program are the hogs in the trenches. Which brings up another interesting point: DL's O-line averages 112 lbs. Their prowess comes from 3 things: technique, technique and technique. Again, they can thank Temple for that.

The best in TN was Barham from Portland, but he left and went to GA. Another good one is the guy from Beech (can't rememeber his name).

 

The references to junior high coaches is ridiculous. When yuo play w/ the big boys it's a different game.

 

And I know Kevin Temple. He coached a friend's son in middle school. He is one of the best middle school coaches I've heard of, but no way he could ever replace McAdams. That'll be like replacing Bear Bryant: a no win situation.
