The word in Athens is that Daugherty retired from his head coaching position last night. This is a shock to most as his last team went 7-3. but he has a new baby and so I suppose he wants to focus his attention on his family and that is understandable. Good luck to coach Daugherty

The word that I am hearing from the school is that a new coach will be in place for spring practice. But with Haney and Grubb who knows we might have a coach by August.

The applicants that I have heard mentioned around town are all good men but none of them have any head coaching experience. Bennett has been a coordinator for several years and has the most leadership experience. What we must have @ McMinn is a person who is willing to do all of the small things and @ the same time maintain discipline and motivate these young men.

We were spoiled for so many years with Mullinax becuase he loved everything that went along with being the head coach at McMinn such as maintaining the fields and preparing them for games becaue money was never the driving force behind him. He loved it all.....but there was no doubt as to who ran the show Mullinax was in charge and the players knew and the coaches knew that. If you ask my opinion that is what has been missing the last few years and that is what we need back.

Yes the players can enjoy playing for their coach but he does not need to be their best friend....there needs to be a since of respect and a common goal of winning football games.

I hope we hire the right man for the job and return order to this football program....

They need to look at an assistant coach in the Chattanooga area. I believe he has been there for about 7 or 8 years, the first 5 or 6 as a defensive coordinator with the past year as the offensive coordinator. He was the Region DC of the year once or twice for what some say is the toughest region in the state. He is a great defensive coach who has some head coaching experience. I believe he was in the running for the job when Mullinax retired. He would have a very disciplined program.

Has this person applied? If not and he is interested in the position it would be in his best interest to apply ASAP.....

My hope is that McMinn hires a coach that comes from a winning background and brings alot of excitement to not only the program but the community.

I think a great hire for a coach would be just a short trip beyond the interstate on hwy. 30. I think it's a 15 minute drive or so. Established head coach with a winning history with a small number of players. I wonder what he could do with more players. /unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Yep, Mike Martin would do a great job there. He's got a couple of assistants that need to apply for some head coaching jobs too. Coach Holliday would be a great DC for any team. All their coaches have a love and passion for the game and their players. Very disciplined team that ALWAYS behaves on the field.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
