Well...it would have to be a list of former varsity coaches because no one could possibly come up with a list of 5 former freshmen coaches...except maybe another lifelong freshmen guy. Just so you know...I have no idea who you are. I'm just messing with you because you always seem to be so sensitive. I don't, however, believe for one second that you are content with what you are doing. If you were you wouldn't be so defensive about it. I bet Rees Groce wasn't that defensive. :(

Actually, Rees could be considered pretty OFFENSIVE sometimes. :D Great coach though. Also, I am definitely not content with coaching freshmen. I just will not dive into another terrible situation again just so I can be a head varsity coach. I made that mistake once. That was my own fault. I didn't listen to a lot of advice I got from over the hill, cynical, crusty, always want to be recognized for something they may or may not have done, got better each year AFTER they finished coaching but wish they could still coach as long as they didn't have to teach former Metro coaches. :D I have plenty of years left to set the middle school coaching record. :D Enjoy the porch.

Big Chief --- just curious but how many years have you coached middle school and what's your record. I know Wigginton has had undefeated season's the last four years and JFK has only lost to Moore the last two years. Can you top them next year?

I have never coached at the Middle school level. It was a joke.

BigChief is a head baseball coach, was a head softball coach, and a head basketball coach. Hard to be lifelong 9th grade coach and do these other sports.

Hey shadow. Before bigchief got us sidetracked we were talking about some of the best Metro staffs. I believe we've had 70's Maplewood, 80's and early 90's Overton, 80's McGavock, 90's Startford and Hillsboro's current staffs mentioned. I also threw in some of your SHS staffs were pretty good. I'll add some of the old Dupont staffs to the list, too. Any thoughts?

Brawler, I think you are about to get in way over your head. I would dare to guess that shadow has a pretty good idea of what makes a good coach and how to achieve a fair amount of success.

    • 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.
