My name is Jon Dial, and I graduated last year and I now attend Vanderbilt University. I got involved with the wrestling club at Vanderbilt and am now the President and am trying to get it more organized so that we can compete in open tournaments in the spring. At this point, I have encountered a few problems:

 

1) There is no wrestling building, only a mat room that is shared by many club sports, and so there are only 2 days a week for 2 hours apiece that we can actually hit the mat and practice.

 

2) There are only, on average, about 6 wrestlers that come to "practice" regularly, and so it is a little difficult to get some good live matches or drilling or what have you.

 

3) We need to get conditioned, which is counteracted by the fact that we only have 2 practices a week and no coach.

 

4) We are unable to really practice because we can't learn any new moves nor perfect what we do now because there is nobody to correct us if we make a mistake.

 

So, I have a proposition for any Nashville area coach that would like a little extra help/competition in the mat room for wrestlers. I'm not really sure about all the logistics yet (ie liability/insurance, transportation, etc.) but I need a willing coach before any of that can be discussed.

 

So, any Nashville area coach somewhere reasonably close to Vanderbilt that wouldn't mind a few extra guys in their practices, please contact me:

 

E-mail: jonathan.p.dial@vanderbilt.edu

 

Even if you have any information about the logistics of the situation, please let me know. It's definitely a work in progress, but each journey begins with a single step and all that. Thanks in advance.

Congrats on a fine choice in education> Sure hope your back is healed. Smyrna has allowed MTSU Club wrestlers in the past, but that was under Gonyea's watch. Perhaps some Reg. 6 or 7 teams closer to you would appreciate your hard work and drilling amongst their boys?

 

Good luck,

You might contact Coach Bass at M.L. King. The wrestlers @ MLK have worked the concessions at Vandy games for years. (MLK has a wrestling room)

You could also contact Coach Simpson over at MBA I'm sure there's some "Old Vanderbilt Money" a little further up West End.(MBA has a REALLY NICE wrestling room)

Both schools are within a mile or so of Vandy's campus.

I don't know for sure but I think TSSAA may have rules that limit your contact with high school wrestlers.

 

Good Luck

      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.
