Wrong. I do not presently, nor have I ever coached anything. I'll post my opinions within the rules of the forum, same as anyone else. If you don't love it, don't read it.

Any chance Turner gets back this season?

Somebody tell me about tha U. With their QB hurt, do they just operate under center? How are they getting 82 the ball - are they lining him up in the backfield?

You know nothing and its not my job to educate you. No surprise you support The Bum. Go sit down.

Foolishness. You think GC never went to 7on 7s before Akers? That's just comically inaccurate. As far as 2 players benching 225... 68, 45, 61, 54, 55, 40, 71, and 50 were all over 225 in prior to Akers getting hired. Probably more that I'm not aware of.

G.O.O. - the base blocking rule - is not being used out of the Bum Bone offense. I could enumerate the similarities and differences between the wishbone and T all day, but the point is the blocking scheme doesn't match the offense in its present incarnation. But, by all means, continue to spew your foolishness. It's a free country.

GAP, ON, OVER!!! Yes, Sir!! Simple to read and it works against everything. This would take advantage of GC's big and talented backs / linemen. Scheme for your personnel!! Well said, LHL!!!

Dude had all winter, spring, and summer to develop a QB / offense. When 7 on 7 drills exposed our weakness in that area he quit going to them and decreased his player's opportunities for development as opposed to increasing exposure and improving. I guess he just said 'Screw it, we'll run the ball every down'. You see how that has worked. He didn't send any kids to camps to supplement his coaching deficits. The weight program is a joke. He personally attacks players to the point where he is near universally detested on the team. He has failed to recruit from the hallways because word is out as to how he treats his kids. The fundamentals (avoiding FUMBLES) are severely lacking. There is zero discipline, as one can see by many behaviors LHL outlined. He is driving players away, not bringing players in. I can't think of one positive thing to say about the guy. Giving him another year will set the program back five and totally waste a talented group of upper classmen in 18.

Colobro was 100% the offensive coordinator at Abingdon. Fact.

A lot of guys won't agree with this and that's fine, but my answer is: No vetting necessary. Hire Jeremy Houseright as HC and let him run the D. Gary Collier and Chad Gose would come back to run the O. Warner could come back and help with D; hire 2 more guys to help clean, paint, and do laundry.

This is a FACT. I'm all about building mental toughness through conditioning, but there is a right and wrong way to do it. The health of your players has to be a consideration. It currently isn't, and that's why GC's injured list is so long. It's not like the bum was a former college player, ex military, or some other hard boiled background. Dude was a kicker in high school, period. Never caught a pass, never threw a block, never made a tackle IN HIS LIFE. This bum had never once himself attempted what he asks his players to do. Dude thinks he's Glenn Carlock when the toughest work he's ever put in was on some country club tennis court. To compete offensively, teams must have a spread component. Turner will throw it all over the field and then jump in the T to bleed the clock. Collier and Gose at GC were racking up yards by alternating between spread and power formations. Apparently, in 1A, D lines just blow up the field without reading the blocks because the bum is teaching his lineman - who have plenty of talent - to not block the down lineman. No respectable coach is going to let the o line have a free shot at their backers; D lineman are taught to squeeze and read from the time they're babies. When the o line try to release to backer they get jammed, LBs go unblocked, and the play is DOA. It would take about one Monday practice to switch to a base blocking scheme and correct the problem. It's true that the W/L record since 2010 isn't great, but the offense was lit with 2 all state QBs vs the most brutal schedule in the state.

Reed was contacted to gauge interest in the job after Houseright retired. He gave a firm no. The only way he would consider it is if Roberts was gone, and then it would still be a long shot. It's pathetic that he (Roberts) has a job in a school. Totally incompetent teacher and fired by both head coaches that he worked for as a coach. He has open contempt for students at his school. The fact that such an imbecile has a say so in any type of administration or decision making would be comical were it not so detrimental to the students.

This bum's ONLY qualification was that his last name wasn't Houseright. Pitiful.

There's many a slip twix a cup and a lip.

My prediction: Guys like #54 & #40 call a team meeting. Toys are left at home. Anyone not in the game stands at attention cheering for their teammates. The game is reduced to one on one match ups. Blocking becomes violent. Tackling becomes predatory. The young men of 2017 grow up, remember who they are, and what they stand for. And where they come from. GC 23 Union 21 Devils Remember.

This is, for me, the most upsetting aspect: the acceptance by players of losing. When I look at my Facebook feed after a 35-0 drubbing and see players posing for pictures with big grins on their faces it makes me sick. No idea how to fix it; ya'll tell me. Maybe Jarhead was right. On to Union, I guess...

I might be eating some crow about that last comment... Go Generals!

I thought GC \ Buckingham was going to turn into a great rivalry if they kept meeting up. Lots of bad blood generated in just a couple meetings.

Hey Jarhead, why don't you stop suggesting great men like Fry, Turner, and Cummins were child abusers? It's frankly the most idiotic \ insulting thing I've ever seen posted on here. If I was a mod, I'd boot your sorry butt. If you don't like what I post, quit having someone read it to you!

I guess assaulting children is out of vogue in 2017. In my day coaches were respected because we knew, win or lose, that they cared about us. Ask any player on the roster if that's still the case.

It's true that interest is down, but when your best player screams "I hope you get f...... fired!" at the HC it kind of tells you everything you need to know about the direction of the program. Oh well, maybe GC can get a win or two in 18.

No facilities upgrades of any kind for GC sports since 1997. Not trying to highjack the thread, but GC has the worst overall (basketball, volleyball, baseball, track, softball) facilities around. The visitor's side of Legion was condemned in 2015. The SB's sports complex decision might have something to with that. I know for a fact that when South's current HC interviewed, he recommended to the AD that he stop showing candidates the facilities.

They should dial up Terry Martin. Dude had Lee High on the road to glory. Typically idiotic move by Lee County SB to fire him and send the Generals back to the bottom.

I give him (AD) props for replacing Bluefield with Boone. Now GC only had to travel half an hour to get drilled. Blazers 41 GC 6

Can't speak on the kid's reaction, but blaming it on a former coach is just dumb. GC's coach is a bum, and the mess is all his. Attitude reflects leadership. The problem starts with the SB and the AD - also bums. Acres was the only man that would take the job; no one else wanted it after 1. Meeting GC's esteemed AD & 2. seeing GC's crumbling facilities. GC finishes 2017 either 1-9 or 0-10, depending on how they play against Lee.
