transferring to Etowah.

I'm in my mid thirties and that shite has been happening for as long as I can remember. All the best players magically became eligible/zoned to play there. Anytime we had a decent player, they always ended up there or Gadsden, even prior to Gadsden swallowing up Emma Samson and Litchfield.

Etowah wasn't ever shite at the JV or middle school level but come varsity, the best players that you grew up playing with, would be playing on the other side for them. Of course they would be a powerhouse. One of my fondest high school memories is when our school went in and beat them and their cherry picked "All Star" squad.

frick Etty-Wah.




Yeah I'm mad.

did not see this coming.

He was a graduate assistant at Bama in 2010-2011 and per his bio on ukathletics.com:

So looks like we might be getting a promising up and comer.

Now in his fourth season at Kentucky, Derrick Ansley has expanded responsibilities in 2015 and again in 2016.

Ansley, who coached cornerbacks in 2013-14, guided the secondary in 2015, and will serve as secondary coach and co-defensive coordinator in 2016.

With the exception of departed safety Ashely Lowery, Kentucky’s secondary returns mostly intact. Three senior starters, safety A.J. Stamps and cornerbacks Fred Tiller and Cody Quinn, headline the returnees. Versatile junior Blake McClain has been a part-time starter at nickelback for two years and can play any position in the defensive backfield. Several more veterans provide plenty of competition, and additional redshirts and signees give Ansley significantly more depth and experience than he had a year ago.

Last season, Ansley helped lead the UK defense which scored a school-record six defensive touchdowns and created 23 turnovers, ranking second in the SEC in turnover margin.

Ansley joined the Wildcat staff after a one-year term at Tennessee. In his one season, Ansley helped the Volunteers improve their national ranking in interceptions from 86th to 56th. He came to UT in Feb. 2012 after accepting the position of defensive back coach at Central Florida in Dec. 2011.

Ansley was a defensive graduate assistant coach with Alabama in 2010-11, helping the Crimson Tide to a 22-4 record, including the 2011 national championship season. Alabama went 10-3 in Ansley’s first year en route to a win in the Capital One Bowl over Michigan State. The Tide won the 2011 national championship to finish a 12-1 season.

The Crimson Tide had one of the best defenses in the country both years Ansley was on staff, ranking fifth in total defense, third in scoring defense, sixth in pass efficiency defense and 13th in passing defense in 2010. In 2011, Alabama led the nation in total defense, scoring defense, passing defense and pass efficiency defense. Ansley also helped tutor Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick and DeQuan Menzie to All-America honors in 2011.

Ansley spent five seasons coaching at NCAA Division III Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala. before taking the graduate assistant position with Alabama. During his five-year stint with the Hawks, Ansley helped guide the team to its first-ever winning season and the school’s first playoff appearance. The Hawks posted a winning record four of the five seasons he was on staff, including two eight-win seasons.

The year before Ansley got to Huntingdon, the team had 12 interceptions and 23 pass breakups. Those numbers improved to 15 interceptions and 44 pass breakups in year one. In Ansley’s final season with Huntington, the Hawks had 22 interceptions and an impressive 56 pass breakups.

Ansley had a very successful collegiate playing career at Troy University, starting 40 consecutive games for the Trojans. The defensive back had a great junior season in 2003, finishing third in the nation in interceptions with nine pickoffs. He was first-team All-Sun Belt Conference in 2004, Troy’s first season in the league. He graduated in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism and was working on his master’s in human environmental sciences at Alabama.

Ansley is originally from Tallassee, Ala.
