I appreciate the sarcastic comments from fans of other schools who gets on a Corbin thread and belly aches about our loss to a quality opponent, when there team who also happens to lose in the same night. You think our team won’t benefit from this loss either? I seen a ton of crazy losses from good teams. I saw some spankings too that looked really bad with no showing from what supposed to be a contender in there class. Corbin had a chance to win this game. Just a very very slow start. I ranked Corbin as a team who would emerge by years end if you read my prediction. I know our talent level. SECOND TO NONE. What was yet to be seen is the offense for this season. I’ll be the first to admit. I read the comments 3 yards and a cloud of dust is all you will get from Greer when he was hired. Game 1 last night. RUN- RUN- RUN = game over for Corbin. This team isn’t built to run. IF they look at the film and see the SPREAD-SPREAD-SPREAD = CHAMPIONSHIP. Why do I say this. Too many weapons to cover for a defense. Game 2 will tell the story for the rest  of the season.  It’s not over by no means, but with this schedule, Coach Greer better figure it out real fast.

Brand new offensive coordinator two weeks in pads, no spring ball, kids out for COVID (no field goal kicker), I could go on... Beechwood has had to endure some of the same stuff but they have continuity and that’s the reason I never made a prediction on this game I knew we prolly weren’t gonna have the time to prepare for them and losing 4 key players makes it that much harder.  The kids didn’t give up, to me win or lose in the first game of the season that means a lot when they could have just rolled over, they didn’t.  A lot of what everyone is complaining about can be fixed.  Very few people wanted to see Haddix leave but he did and even his offense had its issues when first starting out and not everyone was impressed with it in the beginning either.  Everyone wants to win and nobody wants to lose but at least we didn’t lose by 30 while putting up a goose egg!

I 100% agree that BW didn’t have the disadvantage that we had, players missing from COVID, key players. And a new coaching staff. There’s no disputing that. But that still doesn’t excuse the play calls. Heck draw something up at halftime. He’ll just send them down field. Our WR’s had 3-4 inches on BW DB’s. Even without pads, spring ball, which BW went through the same thing, so it’s a wash, they could still work on plays. I watched them at practice, it was about 50-50 run/pass. I didn’t see a lot of the plays they were practicing?? I’ll remain hopeful for week 2 and see what they put out on offense.

Well unfortunately I can only take your word for it I didn’t get to see the game and I’m hearing a lot of the same things you’ve eluded to.  Just like what you said most all my comments are hoping that what just happened are the results from COVID hysteria.  Beechwood is still Beechwood there’s a reason you play them as it helps come playoff time.  Like I said our kids didn’t give up and fought back hopefully they gel in the coming weeks and the play calling progresses,  hard to predict a season on the first game

Who calls the plays?

Bart Elam is the new OC, I’ve heard him and Coach Buckner are sharing the play calling duties
[/quote] I didn't realize they had Elam. Nice to see the Jellico boy still on the staff. I wondered if the head man called the plays or let his coordinator call them. lol
