With this being said, Humbert called the plays last year and is calling them this year. Ringgold will always produce speed; this is just the nature of Ringgold. As long as Humbert can stay around and run the spread, Ringgold can be decent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441295825713070782.post-21033141439679372402010-09-21T21:17:18.314-04:002010-09-21T21:17:18.314-04:00@ watergate......You do realize that Matt Humbert ...@ watergate......You do realize that Matt Humbert and 5 of his staffers were around Ringgold football in one fashion or another last year and that Humbert was working with these athletes when Lloyd Price hightailed it out of Ringgold with no guarantee that he would be hired, right? Oh, thats right...you don't know....an average of over 300 yards per game rushing has to do with some know how on how to put these great athletes in position to be successful. Is he a great coach, time will tell as you say, however, he stuck around to make sure these kids had some continuity for this season if he was hired and it looks like its turning out for the best! A coach that cares about kids having a good chance, now that is something to feel good about!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441295825713070782.post-12550053584129286442010-09-21T14:34:01.864-04:002010-09-21T14:34:01.864-04:00Nothing against the job that Humbert is currently ...Nothing against the job that Humbert is currently doing, but coaches prove their worth over the long haul, not just 5 games or even a season for that matter. You have to consider this team a product of the last regime no matter how bad we hate to do that. Give Humbert a few seasons and if he is still producing winners, then we can call him a good coach. Until then, the credit goes to the athletes who are making a good transition. Just ask Wash High fans, who were ready to erect a monument for Bosnic after last year, if the first year is the "tell tale" year. There are many great coaches in this area who never get mentioned after continued success, yet we are praising this rookie after 5 games. And another thing, Sarcastic Sword, didn't Ringgold win quite a few games during Colborn and Venick years? I believe Venick also won a conference championship in AAAA in 1999. That's not quite 20 years ago.Watergatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441295825713070782.post-44061928803870994042010-09-21T13:31:06.904-04:002010-09-21T13:31:06.904-04:00To the Ringgold School Board:

Fayette as team of the week - what they did was impressive..And I cant say I know them like you do...But what makes Ringgold's victory impressive in my eyes is that they have no winning tradition going back 20 years, no experience in going into a hostile environment and winning a game that in previous years would have been a loss under these circumstances. All the while being led by a rookie 26 yr old head coach who's learning on the fly. Plus thrown in a 2.5 hour bus ride preceded by an early dismissal froms school - when did that ever occur for a 7PM game...Sarcastic Swordnoreply@blogger.com
