fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 He's done well this year and succeeded at Pocy, but what about the last few years and the next few? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokies2005 10 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Wyatt's five years at Tazewell 31-24 compared to the 3 years before 6-24. That seems like a pretty good turn around maybe enough to get him mentioned in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Wyatt's five years at Tazewell 31-24 compared to the 3 years before 6-24. That seems like a pretty good turn around maybe enough to get him mentioned in this thread. If you are including this year 31-24 is correct. Before this year 23-22 barely breaking .500. This year, Christmas came early in the form of some added players from Pocy, a great story of kid who I wish the best for, and a kid named Muncy. Taz has done awesome this year and has a chance to do it again Saturday. I just don't think you can say he is in the top 50% of the coaches in the area! No beef here, just my Opinion!

hokies2005 10 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 well if you are going to exclude years then I will take out last year and Tazewell is 30-15. We are talking about High school coaches in the area in my opinion I dont see how you leave him out unless you have something against Tazewell.

We are talking about High school coaches in the area in my opinion I dont see how you leave him out unless you have something against Tazewell. Well, I have nothing against any area school. I cheered them on a few years back when they lost to Gretna. Anyway, I really like this year's team. I don't know that I could say Wyatt is in the top half of the area's coaches. I mean really and truly , it would depend on what the area is defined as. I just don't think that his record in 5 short years qualifies him. You are a Bulldog I'm guessing, it's cool to represent your home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvftball09 10 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Dan Strong And too bad he was let go before he could have proven himself...

Co. too many parents crying about how there kids are getting hollered at, please some of them need more than that they need a good ole' butt whoopin!!!

cowboyup 10 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 jason matlock from holston since he has been over there they have been at the top of the district. i look for the cavs to make a deep run in the playoffs this year. david scemmell from castlewood always has his team right up front in the cumb district. good young coach who will someday get a chance at a bigger school. tommy "gunn" cregger a cousin to scemmell and a very bright young coach. every where cregger has been the teams seem to win. look for the panthers to be on the prowl in the future once cregger establishes a culture of winning over there. cregger is kind of like ole wade phillips you don't really know how good they are until their gone. greg tester good young coach from hurley seems to put a good unit on the field year in & out. will continue to build and have success over at hurley. all 4 of these ole boys coach em up at small schools. good luck guys and i hope you stay in coaching for a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
