All i can say is WOW. I would be willing to bet that there are going to be a lot of people beating down the doors on Thompson Lane trying to get that job

 

In a somewhat surprising but eventually not an unexpected move, Coach Harris has resigned. Without saying much about basketball, Coach Harris leaves as a decent person, one who is truly concerned about his student athletes. this poster's observation is Coach Harris was big enough for the job but above that, he understood the needs of his players and how his program fell in the success of the school. He will be missed.

Changing Coaches usually causes some turmoil and uncertainity in a program no matter the sport and for this school, which opened about 5 years ago, the first coaches to leave can be toubling as they are fixtures and are the only coaches the student/athletes have had.

On the other side, great Principals understand things like this will go on and if in this case and many others at other schools lately, Great Principals surround themselves with great Coaches they realize they are people that are highly motivated. And to find highly motivated Coaches that have all of the other attributes too is certainly special. Such is this case.

Success is not the reason for leaving because 3 visits to the State Tournament in 5 years is success in anyone's book. Reaching another level professionally with college expenses looming very likely can be found as a cause. Finding that level can be particularly troubling if it cannot be seen.

Principal Nolan is known for finding and selecting top notch Teachers, Administrators, Coaches and Asst Coaches. He knows the business and with a 2000 student school he knows what is at stake. Good Luck Siegel.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
