Who beat who more as head coaches Jack Cain or John Tucker

 

Only problem with that is going to be that Cain had three seperate stints at Humboldt while Tucker was in Milan for 25 years.

 

Best coaches in West TN. Wow. Mansfield<Huntingdon>, Tucker<Milan-Humboldt>, Cain<Humboldt>, Pratt<Crockett>, Coady<Westview>, Morris<Milan>, Barnes<Union City> ... I am sure there are a few more.

Paul Bryant.

 

As a Vanderbilt assistant in the 40's.

 

And in the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's when he would drop by to thump UT and VU.

 

In fact, he was the best in any state he ever entered.

 

RIP Bear. There won't be any more like you.

Don't forget that the Bear coached at Union University when they had a football team also.

A great man who was taken from us early and one heck of a coach.Earnest Smallen from Goodlettsville.The kids loved to play for him and it showed.

I agree. Coach Smallen was my coach back in the late 70's.

As soon as he came their,he turned the program completly around

and had Goodlettsville competing for a title year after year. It was a shame he

was taken from all of us way too early.

Exactly.

 

1936 - Bryant is hired at Union College in Tennessee to install the Notre Dame Box offense. He's making $170 a month when Frank Thomas calls him home to Alabama as an assistant coach, paying him $1,250 a year. Daughter Mae Martin is born.

 

1940 - Bryant goes to Vanderbilt as an assistant coach to Red Sanders after being recommended by sports writer and close personal friend Fred Russell. Bryant helps the Commodores upset the Tide 7-0 in 1941.

I'm surprised you were able to hear any dead Bear Bryant jokes with your head so far up inside Coach S's tail.

 

Someone must have been speaking pretty loud.

 

Listen man, I was going to regret it if I didn't reply. I'm real sorry too.

E.B. "Red" Etter coached Chattanooga Central to 9 state championships between 1943 & 1964. I believe he also coached a state championship team at Baylor in the early '70s. He is third on the all-time list of winningest H.S. coaches in Tennessee with 324 wins and a .752 win%.

 

#2 on the list is John Tucker with 332 wins

#1 on the list is Carlton Flatt, Brentwood Academy, with 334 wins and a .870 win percentage.

    • 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.
