Why would he be a DC. I thought he was a OC/QB coach?

It's good to see he is getting to bring in someone himself. I'm curious if Slover is still there teaching or has found another job coaching somewhere else.
Barn l hope you are doing as good as you can right now during a tough situation. Pertaining your question in your second sentence, you are about 5 months behind. Triggers have already been pulled. People will figure it out soon enough.

I mean, powell, catholic, maryville, bearden are all pretty similar really aren't they?
Not talking about now. You had to be around HS football in Knoxville back in the early 2000s to understand.

There is some bad JuJu for the Smiths at Powell.

Does this mean we have a Bearden pipeline? First the Jones Boys. Now the Smith boys and girls
l don't think you can claim the Jones boys are part of a BHS pipeline. Dad played at BHS and you all have always said the boys were not doubt, always were, and totally Maryville kids. I really don't know if the Smith boy is a Bearden kid. I think he is the next best thing up kid. Dad has shopped him around to multiple schools since he started. Catholic used to be the best thing, then it was BHS, and now Maryville is the next best thing. Who knows what is next. Have you ever listened or talked to the dad, he is all over the place. But kind of figured BHS Coach Jones and his style of coaching and the way dad talks on the radio and to groups that they were going in two totally different directions. l really don"t think the dad knew what he was getting into when he sent his son to play for Coach Jones and the rest of that coaching staff.

Everybody from elementary to 12th grades is on the same campus at Concord, so you don’t know what you’re talking about, and I was talking about pricing too, which is a big issue. Obviously you just can’t read, which is kind of funny. You just like being grumpy on this website, ain’t that right Mr. Grumpy, just making a fool out of yourself every day, but if you wanna talk about that, yeah, there’s 6th, 10th, 12th graders and 5th graders and 4th graders and 3rd graders and second graders and first graders at Concord Christian with the high schoolers. There is no youth sports program over there yet. Of course they’re trying to start one, but you can’t start football until you get into seventh grade, and they have to play & practice with the high school team.
You never said anything about pricing untill HTV chimed in. You just proved my point. You said Concord had an advantage over Webb because of 7th graders. Webb is all one campus also. So how are they different. If Concord ever gets a varsity team again they will be in Division 2. Webb is division 2. They might not be in the same class, but they play be the same rules as all other Division 2 teams. Webb has 6th and 7th graders playing football also. So tell me Mr I just make up stuff, what is the advantage. Price of school doesn't matter when you have to line it up and play real football on a Friday night and Concord has a long way to go.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. You just earned yourself a new nickname, Mr. Grumpy. Anyway, yeah, I know they can because they’re pushing it out. and that’s one of their main recruiting points. Don’t know why you’re so angry. Do you have something against Concord? Must be an angry parent, I would have to imagine, but I didn’t know Webb does that pretty smart on them, but Concord is going to have one up on them if they can hurry up and get this whole football thing filled out.
Webb would mercy Concord with their JV. So you just say what you are pretty sure about with out thinking or reading TSSAA rules, then if your wrong you just say oh didn't know or your just not like you. No way l could be like you. I knew what ever generation you were won't make it when S&it hits the fan. Not grumpy but enlightened to people like you that say stuff that's totally inept and still stick to it when the rules prove you wrong. TSSAA Handbook By Laws, Article 2 section 8. I never said 8 graders weren't eligible, only 7th. If Concord is not going to play a TSSAA sanctioned schedule, then it's all just rec football anyway.

One big different is cost.
Webb is a great school,but is ony realistic for the very upper earners in the area.
Concord Christian, GCA, and a couple of others are realistic options for middle to upper middle famies, especially if vouchers are enacted.
Price of admission was not what DFL was talking about when he said Concord was different than any other private school in the area. DFL claims that "he is pretty sure" Concord is the only private school in the area that can let 7th and 8th graders practice and play with the varsity football team. I am pretty sure 100% that DFL doesn't know what he is talking about because he has not read the rules. Only 8th graders are eligible to play varsity and they have to be on the same campus that the high school is. For example, Webb School of Knoxville and Greenback school are examples where 8th graders are eligible. 7th graders are not eligible.

Potato potato, and I told you the difference because I’m pretty sure at Concord for seventh and eighth grade. You can practice and play with the high schoolers, and I’m sure that’s one of their main things they are pushing, and in fact, I know they are because I know people who are going to be using it. You can’t do that at Knoxville Webb, Knoxville Catholic, or any school around Knoxville. I’m pretty sure the only school that offers it is around this area is TKA all the way in Seymour, and that’s only for eighth graders. I know some people who have used it, but other people don’t have the money to go all the way up to Seymour for one year, so they don't, but Concord offers that, and no other school around here can, and for the lights, I’m sure they will just do what South Doyle did, put some trees in between the football field and the neighborhood. Of course, that’s easier said than done, and I’m sure Concord has the money to make the two houses (at most) play hush up if they really wanted to.
You are pretty sure about a lot of stuff aren't you. Pretty sure doesn't count in TSSAA eligibility rules. I bet you haven't even read the rules. Read the rules and then tell me if you are 100% positive 7th graders can practice and play with a varsity football team in the state of Tennessee. Here is another clue. Webb School of Knoxville has an upper school and lower school. No separate middle school. Webb School of Knoxville has had several 8th graders practice and play with the varsity football team. Do you even know how an 8th grader is eligible to play varsity sports. But go ahead and just be pretty sure about stuff.

Two very good hires for the staff Matthew Bates won the High School Coaching Broyles Award for Tennessee, which is an award that recognizes the best assistant high school football coaches. Bates was formerly an assistant football coach, assistant track and field coach, and wrestling coach at Hardin Valley. Along with his coaching job, Bates is the president of the Tennessee Football Coaches Association. He’s got a really good rap sheet and is a is a really good guy. Glad we hired him!
And for Jarvis Reado, I really can’t find much about him. His former Tennessee offense of lineman won a national championship during his time at Tennessee, then went on to the NFL. He also helps run the legendary Tennessee football camp.
Jarvis Reado has coached O-Line at CAK when Rusty Bradley was the HC. I think the connection was with Mark Bradley who coached Reado at UT.

This is a very true statement. There is a lot of movement going on at Concorde. Somebody else said on another thread that there’s a lot of money sitting around ready to be spent on the athletic program. I know they have money, it’s just if they're willing to spend it on the athletic department, which they haven’t over the years, but we will see. Concord Christian is different than the other private schools in the area, if you’re in seventh or eighth grade, you can play on the high school team, and I’m pretty sure that’s one of their main selling points, which is why I’ve seen a few people already announce they are going there, but we will see. Concord Christian has some land behind their school that’s just really being used as a soccer field right now. You can definitely squeeze a football stadium, a soccer stadium, and a baseball stadium all within that piece of land, even if you need to do what Dobbins Bennett did. They already have a really nice scoreboard for the soccer field, so they’ve already dashed out some money, but we will see if they do that for football, and if they do, I think it’s going to come faster than everyone thinks.
Tell us DFL how Concord, (not Concorde) is different than let's say Webb School of Knoxville. Plus Concord might have room to build athletic fields, but they will have an uphill battle with their neighbors not want lights shining in their windows.

Still a ways away yes, but maybe not as far as you’d think. I know they have a few very good athletes there alr with the word being more are on the way. Matthews can coach, there’s no debating his coaching resume. From what I hear, they are really making a push towards football and it’s obvious. Take their youth camp recently for example. Had over 200 kids show up. To put in perspective, Central had like 35-40. That’s gotta mean some steps towards Football becoming a priority there. Just my opinion
That's surprising about the numbers of the two football camps. I knew Central was going to have one. Didn't know Concord was having one. Key to those camps is who are you attracting. A kid that can help you in a few years or just some kids going to a camp that wants to try football. It will be interesting to see how both programs grow with new coaches.

Ole Holier Than Thou leaving because he can't compete in today's climate. Looks like Shifty Steve Matthews left Ancient Eddie shivering in his visor. Too bad Concord is but stepping stone for Sober-ish Steve to get back into the game after Catholic wasn't allowed to hire him.
I am sure they will keep this one in the family at Fairygut. Don't know anything about his son but he better figure out how to recruit...and FAST. I am sure the Beerden staff has already contacted Fairygut players.
Concord is years away from being a treat of getting players that hurt other teams. No football field/stadium. No locker room or weight room. They tried private school A class football and got destroyed. Troy Fleming was not ready for that kind of competition. Division 2 A football is very competitive. It has gotten much better since splitting from the publics. I know they will get some players but there is always the chance that Concord fails at football again. I hope they succeed but that are years away from even getting and playing a schedule and winning some games. Why would you send your son there to get your brains beat out like when Troy Fleming was the coach. I know there are talks of big money coming into the program but stability and getting winning some games are more important .

I think AE would be just fine the question is , what would have Fulton been like....
That is correct. My cousin coached at Rule with Bob Polston, Joel Helton, Don Ward, and Swaggerty (l think, don't remember his first name). My cousin told me that if all of the football players zoned for Rule stayed in zone Fulton would have a hard time fielding the competitive football teams they had. l don't think Rule hurt AE. Rule used to be AA back in the day. AE used to be AAA with Central and Fulton. I would think Fulton hurt AE the most, followed by Central later on and maybe Holston before it closed.

Yes Mike Leach played for Cody Broncs football. I guarantee it. He did not play college football anywhere. I thought we were talking about not playing college ball. I knew the late Coach Leach played for Cody Broncs. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.
Well if you are saying high school coaches have to play college football, then most high school coaches would not exist.

I have seen some great coaches that were not good players. I guarantee it. It happens. Do you want to bet me? I have also seen some great players that were terrible coaches and or role models. One doesn't have very much to do with the other. Case in point.. Mike Leach.. he was the inventor of the Air Raid offense but did not play football. I guarantee it. The other thing I would mention is who out there really wants to do the job. They do not get paid much and are second guessed more than any other profession. Some coaches just get mercy ruled all the time and are not good coaches. I guarantee it. Do you want to bet me? I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.
Mike Leach played High School Football at Cody High School in Cody, Wyoming.

KCS locked their coaches stipends like 30 years ago. They are one of the worst school systems in Tennessee to coach for.
Boosters clubs can pay coaches.

It is just to easy to get your attention with out even trying, O Great Defender Of Alcoa Football. Surely they are paying you per post. I can't believe you can spend so much energy on just a simple comment that really means nothing to the World of Alcoa. You are like and old mangy dog changed up to the front porch that has to chase every car that comes by even though it will never catch them. But you do what you do and keep on feeling good about it. Just want the best for you and are the ultimate Alcoa apologist.

So Reado left because Smith left? That seems like Smith just pulled the rug out from under him and left Reado hanging. Why didn't Reado just stay on and coach O-Line. I am sure he could have done a great job. He has been successful before at CAK and Grace Christian of Knoxville. Is private Christian School coaching that much different than coaching public school, and it also being BHS at that?
