Surprising development.

Silverdale Baptist Academy has hired John Allen as its head football coach and director of development.

 

Allen led Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School in Georgia to an undefeated regular season in 2004. He coached this past season at Bradley Central High School.

I am sure that with Silverdales location he has the potential to pull kids from N. Georgia and the surounding area. They will do an excellent job in selling their program and getting kids into their program. Like he said in todays paper "I believe this program can be the next Boyd Buchanan, the potential is there...." Good luck and welcome to Region 3-1A.

Several of us talked about that this past fall when Sequatchie Co. played them at Finley Stadium. They had a few good looking players but not very many of them at halftime they talked a little about there middle school program etc..

 

I told some of the guys when we were talking that I think they could be a Boyd Buchanan type team in 6 to 8 years. Perhaps even faster than that.

Perfect, a church school hires the torch bearer for the "good word". Charlie Murphy thinks that after they heard him talking his church talk Silverdale probably couldn't sign the check fast enough, they won't just drink the koolaid, they will even help him mix it. This has to be big johns last hope, these people are already blinded by faith, I'm sure he sold his "God talk" to them like selling cake to a fat kid. Nevermind the way he handled the BCHS situation.

should be interesting to see what happens. Wonder how the teachers feel about it.

 

I bet he is making twice as much as the teachers. Could cause resentment amoung the faculty.

 

Not sure if hiring the big name to attract football players is the best thing for an academic institution.

 

Don't want to put all your eggs in one basket but I do wish them luck and would like to see more smaller schools do well with football.

      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.

      An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.

      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.
