I heard that the administration was not going to make a decision this week, maybe next....SERIOUSLY!!! I know several of the coaches, and the indecisiveness leaves them in limbo. I have talked to them about situation and they have no idea what is going on. I feel for them and their families. I hope the administration realizes that this indecision affects the coaches families in a negative way. You have at least three(that I know of) who would have to move, which would probably involve selling a house. I know this is a big decision for admin to make, but since you started during district tourny, I think you have had plenty of time. PISS OR GET OFF THE POT!

Has anything been announced? What will they do if their candidates get offered another job and accepts because they have drug their feet? I am sure whoever gets the job would want to get started.

Norman will NEVER leave Seymour. He has got it made!!! He always has talent, and he has been there FOREVER therefore NO ONE questions him. On top of all that his kids have always gone to Seymour Schools. I would be VERY surprised if he leaves.

AGAIN, meant to be a compliment. My point was that I was not sure if the Bearden faithful would as sol put it "mesh well"

That was my point, that he got everything out of his players that they had and they played very hard and never gave up. It was meant as a compliment.

I was beginning to think I was the ONLY one who thought this was an interesting bit of information. You say "he did apply or was talk to" if that is true, why has no one mentioned his name? VERY STRANGE!!! I agree totally with all you said...he is a hard worker, and a huge competitor. If Bearden wants to win and win big, he can definitely do it, but parents would have to buy in to Traywick's way. I have watched two or three of SC games per year over the past 5-6 years and his kids definitely know how to play and most of the time played above their God given talent. From what I witnessed, he is hard nosed, and on the field it is his way or no play and I am not sure the Bearden kids can handle that kind of coach.

I heard last night that Traywick from Sevier County resigned, has he applied for the job?

I heard it was a TTU assistants with no head coaching experience. He will be thrown to the wolves, i.e., booster club. Good luck to whomever they choose, just hope they choose soon!

I had heard someone from Collierville was interviewing, but did not realize that it was their head man. Nothing against Bearden, but WHY would he leave Collierville who is #1 in the state right now to come to Bearden. He would be out of his mind, so on that along could not see the great minds at Bearden choosing an unstable coach (JK). In all seriousness, was it the head man or an assistant who interviewed? I really cannot see the head man wanting to leave Collierville.

Does Bearden officially have a coach yet? Not only does the admin have impeccable timing (tourny time), they are drawing the process out leaving the coaches in limbo. So, has the top prospects changed, or are they still the same? Does anyone on here really have a clue, or are we all just speculators?

Who was the job offered to?

According to TN Teacher License look-up, Hochevar does not have a teaching license. That is if this is how you spell his name. https://www.k-12.state.tn.us/tcertinf/EducatorSearch.asp Will Knox County hire a none licensed teacher to teach?

Does anyone know when the admin will make a decision? It was Friday, then Monday and still nothing.

Where did you get this information?

The coach I am referring to, is not Jeff Co. coach. He is the only one on the thread that is PE certified. I am certain that another PE Certified coach is in consideration, but I will not be the one who mentions his name. I do believe that he has went about this the correct way keeping his name out of talk, so not to hurt or disrupt his current team during the season. It seems that he tries to put his players first, and job interviews on the back burner. I could be wrong, and Jeff Co. coach could be the man. The Knox County coaches have another that they believe it is, so I have heard. I wonder if any of these coaches got a call on Friday?
