Scotty Smith would make a great head coach at McMinn County. He knows region 2-5A very well, being a coordinator for the past eight years at Soddy Daisy. He was the DC of the Year twice. Very disciplined and great x and o man. He would bring alot of experience to the table and would not stay for a few years and leave. He would be in it for the long haul. He is very loyal and is one of the hardest working coaches in the business. Most of all, he is a great person with high morals. McMinn County would not go wrong with hiring him. He is the best man for the job! He deserves a shot. He has paid his dues as an assistant. Scotty was in the running for the job when Daughtery got it.

 

Don't know much about the others, except Bennett. Great person and very good coach. Just not sure if he has the experience or has been part of a program with alot of success as a coach. Played with him at CN, so he has been around a program with winning traditions as a player, but not sure about as a coach. The others I do not know.

 

Good luck McMinn County!

Actually Bennett is from Nashville. He was an asst. at McMinn though. He has coached several playoff teams including McMinn when they went 9-3 (I think) under Hutchins a few years ago. I've heard they only have openings in English, Math, and Spanish at this time. They also have to hire a head girl's basketball coach. Are any of the applicants certified in one of these areas? If so, that might put them at the head of the pack.

I have known and worked with Scott Smith for the last 5 years, a harder worker you will not find!! If the administration is 100% devoted to turning the program into a consistant winner, then they need not pass on him again. Coach Smith is as good a X's and O's coach as anyone out there. He has payed more than his dues and someone will get a great coach if McMinn passes on him. Coach Smith also has untouched morals and demands the same from his players. Soddy's loss would be a huge gain for McMinn County.

I can assure you that we will be selecting a coach first then a teacher. I realize this is not the politically correct thing to say but we need a coach that will fill the stands and as everyone knows @ McMinn football funds all sports except for basketball. They must find the very best coach and then we can find a place for him to fulfill his teaching duties.

I also have an opinion about the vacany of the girls basketball coach....in my opinion I say if the school hires a coach and he/she quites his/her coaching job within the first 5 years (not being fired) that they also must resign their teaching position. This should apply to all coahing positions because before you realize it you will have a faculty made up of coaches and not educators. But who knows @ McMInn they always seem to do the opposite of what you think they might do.

I say Bennett gets the job.....great person....good coach.....and he will be here for a long time.....

I agree with houndorr. Smith probably is the most experience coach listed. He has been aound some very good coaches in his coaching career, as well as playing days. Played for Oak Ridge back in the day, walked on at Alabama with Bear Bryant, Miss. St. head coach, Croom was his position coach at Alabama, was an Assistant for Mike McIntyer at UT-Martin (most recently was an assistant for Dallas Cowboys). Smith has the pedigree and should not be passed up. It might be good if McMinn brought in someone with no ties to the program. I do think Bennett would do a great job there, but he has already been there and left. Why would you hire someone who left to begin with. Scotty Smith is too good of a coach, and person, not to be highly considered for the job. Not sure why anyone would not want him to coach and mentor their kids.

 

Houndorr, shoot me an email.

Has Smith ever been a head coach? I was under the impression that he was a head coach several years ago and was not successful. Is this a fact? The local supporters do not know anything about Smith....so what is his history besides what has been posted above. Thanks for any information that we can get....

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
