We heard that the principal's house burned. That's unfortunate. We wish her the best. she obviously has more important things on her mind than hiring a football coach. Also, I wonder if last Saturday's weather had anything to do with the delay?

 

Here is an article about the White House students taking up money to raise for Janet Grogan...

That is classy.

According to friends in the Portland area, the Grogan fire actually was the second round of a problem. They had a problem with the water heater in the home, nearly causing a fire once before and causing the water to be off, so the Grogans were staying at relatives and not home when the fire broke out at 1 a.m.

 

A neighbor broke through windows and doors to yell inside, but found no cars in the garage and no one that he could tell was in the house.

 

Very blessed to have been away, and our prayers are with the Grogan family.

 

Football is so unimportant and this reminds us.

Everyone seems to be about "rumors" on here so I will start my post the same way.

 

Rumor has it that interviews are complete, a few days will be used to ananlyze the information gathered in the interviews, and then decisions will be made.

 

"Rumor has it" that Perry withdrew his name......no details as to why, and this is truly a rumor. I think the Mark Wilson thing never was much to that, and there are some candidates that no one knows. So it will be interesting.

 

It needs to be done, someone needs to be there with the kids NOW, and Portland needs to continue with the winning tradition that has been put in place.

 

Word of advice: Whoever it is, give them a chance, he will be working with a young team as the second or third smallest team in the region, and playing in a tough region. Chances are that he will have a youthful staff as well.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • 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.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
