Unless something changes, I don’t believe Josh Smith is on the coaching staff. I know he was on the staff for a few weeks before the season last year, but I'm pretty sure he had to quit for personal reasons.

Oh thats surprising.

I mean still his alma mater.

This actually is a pretty good pick up I must admit. It’s going to be good for the program to have him and Josh Smith on staff. Two guys that played D1 football and spent time at an NFL mini camp

The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.

 

The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.
 

and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them. 
 

The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.

Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?
 

and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet? 
 

Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

Replying to your alt account is pretty odd, but whatever you wanna believe.

It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers. 
 

I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

Your numbers are exaggerated and the changes are completely out of context. 

Get a grip. 

What do you mean they’re exaggerated? In the time he’s been there he has officially hired 10 coaches who are no longer a part of the program. That is a fact. If anything I’m underreporting the number who have left. Only one left for a better job. Having that high of a turnover rate is a major red flag.

Newsflash:  

Knox County football coach move quite often, especially those who teach/work at schools other than where they coach and non faculty coaches. 

It's a different day. 

New head coaches often have staff changes eay in their tenure until the right fits are made. 

First you said my numbers were exaggerated now my numbers are correct but it’s fine and totally normal. 
 

jones reminds me of an old saying, run into an #### first thing in the morning, you met one ####. Run into assholes all day, you’re the ####.

It’s called rebuilding. You just have to find the right guys, and you know you found the right guys when they go on to be head coaches at other programs. You can’t do anything if they leave for other jobs. That’s it, simple, and if it’s shown every day as a coach that you come in and slack and not reach your full potential, not just for the team but for the student athlete as well, then it’s the next man up, and you gotta go. 

Welcome to today's coaching. It's not just hiring some teacher who's only coaching experience is flag football and maybe played in high school. Schools are going out and getting coaches with experience under their belt, and those coaches are going out and getting people with actual experiences to help not just the program but the student athletes as well, whether they are teachers or not or have anything to do with the school or in a classroom, and that's what the TSAA wanted, and I would say most people.

It’s called building a program people want to be a part of. If you lose a majority of the people you hire, you either aren’t qualified to be making the hire, or you haven’t built a quality product. 
 

this is likely the outcome of hiring who aren’t qualified to be teachers and have no ties to the school and the community. So it’s no big deal if they jump ship. None of the coaches that left were teachers in the building. So that not hiring teachers comment makes no sense. 
 

They’ve only had one coach leave for a head coaching job. And he only got that job because no one else wanted it.

Your numbers are greatly exaggerated. 

And your thinking is definitely wishful. 

 

 

Since he was hired: 

2 WR coaches 

2 TE coaches 

3 OL coaches 

1 RB coach 

1 DB coach 

1 DC 

I think that adds up to 10

A coach left for a head coaching position, another for a coordinator position, a guy who wasn't to on the high school team staff left for another position not on a high school staff, and a guy who was going to join the staff decided not to.  And it's still the offseason.  

What "honor" is there to defend?   

 

Probably because since he’s been there at least 10 coaches have either quit, left, or were hired but never actually started. all the rumors are kids are trying to bolt left and right. Coaches are seeing how dysfunctional the program is and washing their hands before they even get started. And now their running out of money and the boosters are getting tired of constantly being hit up for more. 

You know it has to be bad otherwise DAWGS would be on here to defended his boss’s honor.

Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.

By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school. 
 

there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.

Smith was not recruited by Bearden. He went to Bearden, the school he zoned for, after playing his freshman year at Catholic.

And the point I’m trying to make is, Why do you think Smith went to Maryville? Do you think it’s better coaching, or was he recruited? But, oh no, Maryville doesn’t do that, right? Well, when you finally decide between one of those, you can find your answer to the question you’re asking.

I’m sure Maryville did recruit him. Wouldn’t be the first one they have. But that’s not what I was talking about. Does Bearden recruit yes or no? It’s either they don’t recruit and kids just showed up of their own accord. Or Bearden is recruiting like everyone else?

I’m not sure how it works or how he won. I never even heard about the award, so I don’t know how credible it is, if at all.
 

Oh well, that’s my mistake. I thought he was at Harden Valley when he wanted it. I know nothing about the award. I can’t even find anything about it or how you can enter to win it. Maybe you just get an email randomly saying you want an award. I’m not sure.
 

And here you go with the recruiting scandals again. It can just be that the player or parent chooses that they have a better opportunity of being coached by a certain coach or playing with a team in a different zone and not the school that they are zoned for. but that would make too much sense. I thought that bug of “Bearden recruiting” already went out the window with Brody Smith going to Maryville, but apparently we still have that bug on us, and for Maryville, it was just a pure coincidence that they got one of the best linemen in the state and completely didn’t recruit him, but Bearden did. Yeah, sure, and Bearden has always produced great talent. Most of them were zoned for Bearden and went to Bearden Middle School but decided to go to other high schools, whether that be Catholic, Knoxville West, Farragut, Webb, Maryville, etc. To play football because the players and/or parents choose where they have a better chance to go and be coached and hopefully get them farther in their career, but when the school in the block, that’s been a cookie jar to every other program around Knoxville and the Knoxville area, finally stopps letting that happen. Everyone complains, whines, and tries to hide the fact that their schools, haven’t been doing it for years...

Recruiting is about getting kids there, and nothing to do with a kid leaving. Smith was recruited to Bearden and still decided to jump ship. 
 

I’m not sure exactly what point you’re trying to make. Are you saying Bearden doesn’t recruit at all, and all these kids just decided to show up all at once? Or are you saying everyone has always recruited but now Bearden is too?

Here you go again. I’m really starting to think you don’t know anything. Brody Smith went to West Valley, which is a pipeline to Bearden high school. That’s where his siblings went, and that’s where he was zoned for, however, before his ninth grade year, he decided to transfer to Catholic, which I’m sure you can take a guess and I can to on how he ended up there, but we’ll just slide over that. After his first year at Catholic. He wasn’t happy with the team, and he didn’t want to play tight end even though that’s what the team wanted him to play, so he had options on where to go, but he obviously just decided to go back where he’s zoned for… Which is Bearden High School. 

So they took money to go to catholic and Maryville, but just decided on Bearden because they lived there?
