Jackie L. Smith??????? HA!

 

You can laugh...But

 

He has stepped back into the coaching ranks after leaving, he is the safe choice

and the Giles Co. Football fans will only smirk at his return. Agreed he is not the person needed at this time but he will not leave for a more high profile postion.

And from all of the coaches mentioned except Smith from Mt. Pleasant (who has already turned down better postions) is the most loyal to the county.

 

And before anybody makes a remark loyalty should be a trait in the job search.

With Smith as the head coach the football program at Giles Co. went backwards after the good run they had in the late-90's. In 2000 Giles Co. went to the playoffs but that was because the region was terrible and not because they were actually good. They were 3-8 that year and got killed in the first round by Crockett Co. The region that year consisted of Marshall Co., Page, and a team full of sophomores and juniors known as Sycamore. Outside of those teams the region then was Mont. Cent., Waverly, and Hickman Co. Needless to say those aren't three of Tennessee's better teams at all. Montgomery Central has gotten considerably better with Rickey Ray as the head coach and Hickman Co. is on the rise with Swenson at the helm but back then the football programs at those three schools were awful.

 

THAT WAS THE LAST TIME GILES CO. MADE THE STATE PLAYOFFS!!!!!

 

In 2001 Giles Co. started off fast and fell to pieces down the stretch. They finished 5-5 and missed the playoffs. In '02, '03, and '04 under Jackie Smith Giles was a combined 5-25 during those three years. This past year with those same group of seniors that went 5-25 during their first three years at Giles Co. coach Tim Johnson went 4-6 overall (4-3 in the region). That proves how great he was for Giles Co. Football right there.

Catfish, I think you are getting to caught up in the numbers of the Jackie Smith Era. He is a revered mind of highschool football that strikes fear into the hearts of those who play him and his teams. Folks in Lawrence County would be shaking in their boots if they looked across the field and saw that general directing his troops. We can only hope the rumors of him coming back are false.

Yes, but good year for Giles Co. Since 1980 has been 3-7 to 6-4 (With the exception of that good year with B.J. at QuarterBack.) When you put together a string of winning seasons like Richland did in the 80's then you can talk about tradition. Until then I dont think all those numbers you put matter a whole lot because you just put up the record of about 50-60% of the states football teams during the same time frame. You can be a good football coach and still loose.

I also noticed you mentioned TJ who I also agree is an excellent football coach there is no doubt about it. GC football tradition has been up and down for several years, all I am saying is the need stability not names. A young up and coming coach will do the same thing T.J. did and will G.C. embrace him as well.

They would do well to bypass the big name and get them a young fellow (mind you not to young) who has head coaching experience, a family, and has been around a successful program. Theres too much talent down there to waste.

 

well he aint real young but the coach from lee in alabama was there today at workouts with his wife and some boster club members and our assistant coaches so im pretty sure he is our pick. but we will see tomorrow. and as far as jackie smith comin back uh HECK NO. and if this coach is any good or not expect us in atleast the first round of the playoffs this year fellas we lost 3 :thumb: starters and our qb has alot of experience, but with joseph and sam comin back and a young strong experienced line and powerful fast defense, lawrenceburg and anyone else on our schedule better watch out

      Bearden Bulldogs 2024

      By Dawgz4life · Posted

      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.

      No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
