A new Wrestling Poll

I have only been coaching High School wrestling for 5 years in TN now, but 2 years ago I asked who were the coaches that votes in this poll, and I got accused of whining about the results of the poll. I was told that If I wanted to know who voted, I should be more knowledgeable of wrestling in the state. I still have never been told as to who the coaches are that vote in this poll. Not that I disagree with what they say, it would just be nice to see who votes...

Let's be clear on all these new rankings, there only purpose is to generate interest in this sport. They create discussion, entertainment and thought. Since this is an open message board anyone can rank. tnmat seems to be knowledgable about the sport, tnranker has no real creditials, but that is of no real concern. Do these rankings really mean anything outside the coachT forum? Would a coach try to seed a wrestler based on tnmat vs. tnranker? I hope for the intelligent coach, the answer is no.

The last two years that I coached, 94-95 and 95-96, Karns was ranked and finished in the top ten of the Coaches' Poll both years. To this day I do not know who voted or who didn't. We just worked hard to get there and harder still to stay there. To quote my good friend and fellow coach, Chris Vandergriff, Halls, "The cream always comes to the top."

    • 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.
