Support them all you want that"s your right but I wouldn't support my on family if they ran business like that, and they wanted to keep me in a position that would hurt the business rather than let someone else have the position that could help the business more would you not wanna see them teach the kids if you want something work harder than the other guy and would you not want to see your school have the chance at a state championship IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN THIS WAY I know posting this will not change the way they conduct business (sports) at Bradley and I really don't care if they change or not but there are still many people That have no Idea how things work there and should think twice about letting their kid play for them or should I say set on the bench and watch someone else play who cant play as well as them SOMEONE TELL ME DOES ALL SCHOOLS DO THIS OR IS THERE AN HONEST PROGRAM OUT THERE THAT LETS THE BEST PLAYER PLAY

YES DOESN'T THE TRUTH TASTE LIKE SOUR GRAPES SOMETIMES!!!! BUT THAT WAS A GREAT RESPONSE THO

I hate the kids had to lose a game BUT I LOVE THE FACT THAT BRADLEY AND THE PUPPET COACH FLOYD LOST there is way to much politics at Bradley for them ever to win big in the playoffs its just this simple if the players that the Bradley political party's are good players then Bradley will have a ok season but if the players that they want on the field are not that good those players will still play and it will just be a bad season for Bradley Like last year Bradley had one of the most talented teams in the state and could not even make the playoffs because a lot of there talent was on the bench and Floyd and company just cant take the players they want to win with and coach em UP AS LONG AS BRADLEY PLAYS THIS WAY BRADLEY WILL NEVER HAVE A SHOT AT A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SO JUST VIEW YOUR SCHOOL AS A REC LEAGUE TEAM PLAYING FOR FUN AND THE DAD COACHES PLAYING THEIR KIDS OVER THE BETTER PLAYERS AND YOU WILL STAY IN THE RITE FRAME OF MIND The best players don't always play and even if they did there is not enough talent at the coaching level to win I PRAY THAT IF OR WHEN MY SON PLAYS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL THAT THERE IS A TEAM IN THIS COUNTY THAT PLAYS THE BEST PLAYERS AND THEY HAVE COACHES THAT KNOW HOW TO COACH EM UP PS WHY IN (HE' LL) WOULD CHANDLER BENNETT EVERY BE ON THE BENCH ON ANY DOWN IN ANY GAME HOW STUPID!!!!! THIS ALONE SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING

Well wasnt it last year coach floydd was all over clevelands C? you want respect you gotta earn it on the field.

The Owls will not win by 3 Tds and I would bet on that, also the Owls will be lucky to score more than 2 TDs in the first half. This Bear team has very smart coaches and very good players. The reason the team has lost these close games is that the coaches will only play the players they want to play and where they want to play them. If the coach would let go of what ever is holding him back on moving players around and letting play makers make plays for the team the losing would stop and the bears would beat the Owls. There will be a few changes headed into friday night but I think not enough, Laugh all you want Owls fans but This bears team has so much talent it is unreal. and if the coach does let go and uses all his weapons and keeps fresh players on the field the Owls will lose this game . But watch this game close and you will see that no matter what happens at any position the same players come on the field at the same position. I hope not to see the same thing but we will see friday O yea the bears have not lost on the road! So watch out Owls The coach just might let all the bears out of their cage and open up the playbook, if this happens you will lose and that is a promise you can take to the bank!!!!!! SOME BEARS ARE STILL HUNGRY FOR A WIN!

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein I really thought and hoped after watching practice last week things would be different this week. I have heard that the coach has said even when I am wrong I am right saying what ever play he calls or who ever he wants to run those plays, is his call because He is the coach, That is all well and good if you win the game. I heard The bears had a player quit this week walking off the field and no one tried to stop him but he is a senior and will not be needed this year and will not be here next year so who cares. RIGHT!!! Everyone knows how this team works If you are not in the click you will not play on Friday. I again thought after watching practice last week things would change and again I was wrong. The bears coaches have players that they hardly or never talk to and don't even care or maybe wish they were not on the team. The bears have players that have out played their first team but never play a down on Friday! even when the first team has been on the field all night and get so tired they are giving up big plays the coach will not even give a thought about giving any of the so called scrubs or non wanted players any time You will never win the tough games using people like this, call it Bad Carma, or the Football Gods not letting you win or whatever you want to call it but, You will never be successful, treating your players this way. If you don't change things will not change. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein Bear players rest assured the bad Carma is not your fault, auctions and results reflect leadership Sorry coach but results is what you are measured on. You are a smart man ,but a smart man can say I was wrong and continue to learn as he goes along. I do wish you good luck next week but if you don't change the bad Carma will continue Prediction #1. the coach doesn't change = another close game that teases the coach with a win until the fourth quarter Prediction #2 the coach has a change of heart breaking the chains of bad Carma and the bears beat the Best team they have Played this year

Watching practice this week i was very impressed, the bears looked real good, I saw the look of hunger and effort from the starters to the back ups. Look for some new names to be announced during the game this week as the hunger for a win has everyone putting forth the most effort any team has seen this year from the bears. also the statement you made about polk is way off, polk is an outstanding team that is very well coached. as far as knowing what the bears have on defense and what they might do. you may want to ask all the boxers that thought they knew what mike tyson was gonna do, when tyson was in his prime. They knew what he was gonna do but when they stepped into the ring it was all over for them. I look for it to be over before you step on the field this week so get ready all you want, but come friday night all that is in the stands will see what the true bears are made of. I am really looking forward to see the bears play this week. go bears it is time to get back on the winning track!!!

The problem is not depth, the bears have depth, the problem is the depth is rarely or never on the field, the bears have alot of players that really get up set if they dont get there playing time. And coaches that wanna make it happen for them. They have even made plays to get players in the game to keep them from quitting. and its not a bad idea if you want them back for next year. My opinion is that alot of the time the best talent is on the sideline instead of in the game . this Bears Team is one of the most talented teams in Tn. and they really wanna win, but on their terms and it just does not work that way when you play the better teams, so if things don't change look for another defeat this week a good game but another defeat . I truly believe if the Bears would try an do the right thing good things would happen, if not look for more defeats and no play offs

Well my take is the bears defense gets after the qb very well, which helps keep the other team from scoring so many points. but if the DB's would stay locked onto the wide outs better, then the bears would stop giving up the big plays that have cost them a few scores every game. bottom line The bears are gonna have to get it going on offense. (full backs tail backs) I have not seen any film so I am not sure why the bears can't get a tail back through holes playing these better teams. The bears pound it pretty good with the full back but you have to have some more speed hitting the holes as well. if they want or cant hit the holes find someone that will. (QB and wide outs) Either we cant get the ball to the wide outs or they drop a wide open catch. make the throws and if its there then make the catch The Bears look good at practice even going against the starting defense which now in my opinion has shown to be one of the best defense's around. so what puzzles me is, what IS the bears offense doing different on game day. different plays ? different players? HMMM! DO YOU REALLY WANNA WIN? DO YOU WANNA KNOW HOW? HERE IS A FEW IDEAS :idea A visit to see the coach in Polk Co. He has to be doing something right 6-0 20/50 points a game WOW! They have it together on Offense!! Don't be to proud to ask. FIND YOUR PLAY MAKERS AT PRACTICE AND LET THEM MAKE PLAYS ON FRIDAY NIGHT! Dropped balls at practice equals Dropped balls in the game!!!! I REALLY THINK THE BEARS CAN WIN OUT THE REST OF THEIR GAMES, BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS!!! THEY NEED TO GET IT GOING ON OFFENSE .

This was a very tough Defensive game. with some blown coverage by the Bears, a couple of great catches by number 85, and a very bad decision on a punt before half that cost the bears 3 points which ended up being the points Bradley lost by. I was glad to see a little change was made by putting Davis in on offense. he made some very good plays tonight. The Bears are still not clicking on offense tho, poorly thrown balls, and dropped passes. also running the ball on 3rd down is probably due to the fact the Bears are having trouble throwing the ball. number 10 did make some good plays tho.with a few more better thrown balls or better decisions where the ball was thrown it could have been a different game, also don't get mad about my opinion about the QB position, it is a tough job but it is where you can win and lose the game, it is where the spot light is, and if you cant take part of the blame then you can never take any of the credit, O Well Bradley had some bad calls but that is football, its gonna happen. so before any one can blame the officiating and if you did not see the game you must know the bears really beat their self. This could be how the rest of the season goes, a very tough defensive game but not enough offensive power to win the game. The bears still have enough talent on the team to win games, so lets see what next week brings

Yes I have played as high as being on the practice squad for a pro team and have coached and helped coach on many levels

I also think Rhea and Soddy are similar, but at the QB position only. I think Soddy is the better of the 2 Teams, I do not think Soddy will make the same or as many mistakes as Rhea did. Rhea was also very slow on defense and could not protect there QB very well, but when they did he completed some very long passes. On offense the Bears must do better running, throwing, and catching. Soddy is very fast in the secondary so the Bears would be better off keeping the ball on the ground to run off some clock early and keep Soddy's offense on the side line run the ball hard and use surprise pass or trick play every now and then. Which is what they will probably do. since the Bears are a run first Offense. If the Bears decide to throw or have to throw because they are behind on points timing routs will be the the best thing for the Bears since the Bears QB will not throw to deep, Soddy's Conner's are faster than the Bears wide outs and they cover real well. The end around plays will not work unless Soddy over pursues which I do not think they will, Soddy is to well coached and to fast to give that kind of play. Defense The Bears must get to the QB early and often this QB ripped the Bears apart in the passing league and he gets rid of the ball so quick and is more accurate than Rhea's QB which hit his throws when he had time, if the Bears do not get to Soddy's QB they will put up 21 to 28 points in the first half. Running the ball against the Bears defense is tough, but the Bears do need to tackle better this week. I say the Bears should blitz early using corners and linebackers. Which is what they will probably will do. This will by far be the toughest week the Bears have had, They will need to find out very early if they can get to the QB and if they cant, will the Bears need more Db's on the field ? I say study the Red Bank game very well. Hide your defensive play well. and hit them fast and hard Good Luck Bears!

Well guess if Bradley's problems go far beyond certain parents. and it is the entire political machine in Bradley Co. (County Commissioners, School Board Members, and influential people Than we can't blame the coach, so I guess D-Floyd you are now off the hook, so you can play who they want you to play, and if this is true and everyone knows it. good luck trying to motivate. On the other hand if it is not true, What a chance to prove everyone wrong. Please prove everyone wrong, make these kids fight and put the best 11 on the field for each play Friday night no matter what there name is. We all know this job is not an easy one, but you took the job so you have the chance to say this is the right thing to do. Go Bears beat Soddy, And let every Player feel like they are a Part of this TEAMS success!!!!

I have seen enough to know that this team has talent, but not all of the best players are on the field or not playing where they would be the most successful, if you have been there as much as you act like you have then you know this as well. I hope the Bears win I really do but there is favorites being played no matter what anyone says. just like our QB any other freshman would not even had the chance, he is good for a freshman but there are other kids asked to tryout for QB and was not even given a chance, Smiley is one and The new kid from Rhea and what about Davis he did not play bad he got hurt, but I guess it just worked out just right to let that happen. positions should be challenged for every day and every week but its really not done that way. but I am not the coach that asked the kids to close their eyes and say prayer at the end of each football day. prayer is not a bad thing but the same coach needs to pray at night before he goes to sleep and when he does is he able to say I did the right thing by every kid today, everyone has had a fair chance and I did everything I could to make each kid and the TEAM successful. I also say go Bears beat Soddy ,but with out changes we will lose

In case everyone out there did not know, there is POLITICAL FAVORITES at every school just more at Bradley than most schools in this area. I just thought because of the amount of talent at Bradley they would still be able to win and if not then Floyd would swallow his POLITICAL FAVORITES pride and do the right thing for the team . but i guess it is if all else fails keep the booster club kids happy. I wonder how they do it in Ooltewah or the other winning schools yes Bradley is 4-2 , but the training wheels could be about to come off, Are we doing what we can to keep everyone happy and hope to win? or are we doing what ever it takes to win ? winning will not keep everyone happy, but it will give you a win, and it will stop alot of the bad talk about you as a coach. Is this job a landing spot or a stepping stone in any case you better start making better decisions on the field ,or you may not have many options to choose from. Your players are not stupid nor are they in little league any more where they dont know the difference between trying to show case players holding players back and doing everything you can to win. If you want a chance to win a few more games this year make a promise to your football players this week that everyone's position is at risk , make them start fighting for there positions instead of just handing them out like gifts, make them hungry to play instead of letting them threaten to quit over playing time. Dont be afraid to make anyone mad they cant say anything if you win. NO ONE LIKES TO LOSS WHEN THEY KNOW THEY SHOULD HAVE WON.
