Just a point of correction to start, they dropped the County in the name when they moved into the new school.

 

Also, Claiborne was really young and inexperienced this season. All of their talent left last year when Brogan, Chittum, Reynolds, etc. graduated. Also it appeared as though either Reed Hamlin moved, quit or had an injury that kept him out all year long.

 

Claiborne football hasn't been good in years. They've only been .500 twice in the last 15 years and have only made one playoff appearance: 1977. Anything better than that is a definite improvement.

 

I also think that Blair Harrison was smart enough to know how much of a drop off he was going to have this season when he left for Georgia. Barry might get them to the point where they can win 3 or 4 games a season, maybe even go 5-5 on occassion, but only if he sticks around that long.

 

One encouraging spot should be the numbers they had this season. I saw about 45-50 dressed at the Rutledge game and I'm sure that included all of the freshmen, but still that's got to be a bright spot for Claiborne fans.

He just took the job in June. What is the problem at Claiborne County? Will the community not support the program, coaches? Will the kids not play? Do they need an attitude adjuster that?

 

The key question is: DO THEY WANT TO WIN?

They have removed the job posting from the TSSAA web site and I called and asked the principal about it. He said that the coach was still on staff so I guess someone posted that erroneously? If anyone has any more information feel free to update us but let's not talk bad about the new Coach. I understand they had a lot of young players out this past season and it was a tough year for them all! Better days are ahead for this program but it will take time for them to rebuild!

I was not trying to bad mouth Claiborne. Just wondering why the job came open when a new coach was just hired. I was thinking he had not been given time to prove what he could do. Good luck to Claiborne in the future.

IT NEVER CAME OPEN! It appears that someone posted the ad on the TSSAA WEBSITE by mistake or as a joke. At least that's what I've heard from the school. Does anyone have any other news?

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      Yeah I am on board and plan on coming down from the Ridge for some home games, great Friday night atmosphere there.  I'm really hoping SC can get them back going and have some success for those fans and community.

      Yep I was field level on the scoreboard end throwing ball with Benny when we had that brief lead. Everybody got very excited but it was short lived as Murvil regrouped and went into machine mode. But yeah,  that hit sounded like the crack of a black powder rifle being fire.  I believe Dozier took one like that as a Soph up at Greeneville after on olay block.

      Ole Benny boy lol. I forgot about Harder. He was tough as crap. He graduated in ‘09. I went to the OR/Maryville game that year (great game, btw) and he collided with Jacob West (I think was his name) and you could hear it clearly at the top of the visitor bleachers. Man, it was a stick. He could lay some wood son. All those guys were tough, Elliott included.

      They do have good community support for sure and did when I coached under Z for 4 years. (I was on that staff that turned them around a little from winning 1 game a year to actually being competitive).  Great Kids and Great Community over there.  They have done some good things with the facilities from when i coached too.

      I personally will not mind that one bit.  It seems like a really strange fit to me from the git go.
