Congrats to the tigers, so far. I wouldn't give all the credit to the coach though. It's probably better that he not seek the glory lights just yet. It's the kids that stepped up despite controversey all around them. Go Tigers.

Its going to be funny when they get to state and with a lame duck coach who just happened to make the wrong "daddy" mad.

This would not even be a topic if the mommy's and daddy's of high school politics, oops, I mean sports would just leave well enough alone. Give credit where credit is due. Ripley won with the talent put on the field by the coach. No, he didn't actually play, but he prepared his team for the battle. He, along with the rest of the staff, called pitches, set the defense, called for steals and all of the like. This is supposed to be the best days of young athletes lives, and it is being ruined by, of all people, their parents. And it's not just here, it's all over the country. Let the man with the word head in front of his title of coach be that. Back off and give the kids free reigns to learn from outside influences. Contrary to popular belief, 99.99999999% of the time in sports, mommy and daddy don't know best, coach does. Parents are one of the biggest problems with the youth today. The kids grow up thinking that they are better than everyone else, or they are not givin the respect and guidence that they need. Either way you have a messed up kid. One striving to fail and the other failing to strive. If it were not for the parents being as they are, I would probably still enjoy coaching. But as it is, to quote the great Johnny Paycheck, take this job and shove it! Seriously, how can a kid succede in life if they are taught, or not even taught, that the people teaching them life lessons are always wrong. Get a grip parents, be just that, and let the folks who do a job or service for your kids do it uninhibited. Neither side is always right, or always wrong, that's what the kids are supposed to decide, it's called GROWING UP!

Do you even have kids? You only have part of the details of what has gone on. There are other concerns out there. Those who do the hiring should do better background checks. There are reasons that educators are not rehired in other school systems.

You are exactly correct 1historian! That realestate guy spouting off the coach was not rehired due to a disgruntled parent is way off. Give the education administrators the benefit of the doubt everybody. If they didn't rehire every time a parent was upset, there would be no teachers/coaches left in the school system. There are other concerns that are much much more serious than an unhappy parent. There is no need to publish them here. That would only serve to hurt the coach. They need to finish the season and part ways.

 

By the way, I don't have a kid on that team, and didn't know there was a problem until after the decision was made to not rehire him.

It must be your kid that is pickin' splinters pal! Coach Messer has done a good job with that UNTALENTED team. You all have one pitcher who throws in the low 80's(if that) and a catcher who MIGHT play college baseball. So give the guy credit, he led that team to where they are today! His gameplan versus Dyer County was good because DC out-talented them by a long way.

      Bearden Bulldogs 2024

      By HTV · Posted

      Yeah.  Kids only transfer in and out of Bearden these days, you know.   That particular poster evidentially has a personal vendetta with Josh Jones.   Consider the source.  And the kid transferring to McCallie is a terrific talent, but an opportunity to go to McCallie on scholarship (and I am assuming that is the case) is one that is very much beneficial both athletically and academically.  McCallie is a great school for both.   Bearden will be fine.  And so will both of those kids who decided with their parents/advisors to go elsewhere.

      Winds of Change Blowing in Trousdale.

      By Wingback08 · Posted

      Esteemed colleagues, On this auspicious Saturday morning, I fortuitously encountered Dr. Satterfield at the Early Bird Cafe, whereupon we engaged in a discourse concerning the pool of candidates vying for a coveted position. Dr. Satterfield, possessing a discerning eye, has graciously shared insights into the contenders, which I shall now relay to you in a structured manner. Eric Vetetoe, though initially absent from my considerations, ascended to the zenith of Clint's roster, poised atop his discerning clipboard as a preeminent candidate. Kyle Gregory, with a coaching demeanor reminiscent of a bygone era, has captivated Clint's admiration. His interview performance, I am informed, left an indelible impression, aligning seamlessly with Clint's nostalgic sentiments. Davy Cothron's cerebral approach to offense, notwithstanding a past championship game setback, garners high praise from Dr. Satterfield. His strategic acumen, it appears, remains unblemished despite previous trials. Brandon Eden's steadfast allegiance to the team, evidenced by his tenure on the creekbank, earns him considerable favor in Clint's estimation. Anticipation lingers as to whether an offer may be extended in recognition of his unwavering dedication. Wesley Satterfield emerges as a compelling candidate following a favorable assessment by Mr. Satterfield himself. The prospect of a Satterfield succession holds a certain allure, embodying continuity and tradition in equal measure. Kyle Shoulders, a surprising entrant in the applicant pool, impresses Clint with his football intellect, potentially positioning him as a contender for the role. Josh Hackett's defensive prowess, particularly in encounters against Trousdale over recent years, earns commendation from Coach Satterfield, underscoring his proficiency in the strategic aspects of the game. John McNeal's track record of success across multiple sports affords him undeniable merit, though the prospect of his acceptance, if offered, remains uncertain. Chad Evitts, a former NFL luminary, presents a unique opportunity, recognized keenly by Mr. Satterfield, to infuse our program with elite expertise and experience. Matt Dyer, revered for his contributions during the regular season, faces scrutiny for his playoff performances, a dichotomy that weighs upon Clint's evaluation. Chuck Gentry, endorsed by Dr. Satterfield, embodies the promise of transformative leadership, drawing parallels to his past triumphs in revitalizing programs akin to ours. Clint extols BJ West's astute management at the middle school echelon, where his strategic maneuver of strategically calibrating the team's schedule to optimize performance stands as a testament to his sagacity and acumen in navigating competitive dynamics. In conclusion, the deliberations surrounding our prospective leadership remain nuanced and multifaceted, underscoring the significance of this decision in shaping the future trajectory of our esteemed institution.

      Unfortunately we did after the first hire, that's why we tried to fight it so bad. this is a bad situation for our community and school.
