Heritage isn't the easiest place to win. Tough culture to overcome. There are some good players there and hard workers, but it takes more than a few. It's tough to win in that football region unless you have a fair amount of speed.

 

There is no easy fix there. I think Rewis did a pretty good job. They just had to play a lot of teams who were bigger and faster. I hope they can get it going a little bit. Lot of good people there.

 

Easiest fix for Heritage is to get a coach who can keep Heritage players at Heritage, and recruit some players out of Blount County and surounding counties like Maryville and Alcoa do. Until Maryville and Alcoa stop allowing transfers into their schools from outside of their established school zones, Heritage will never reach it's football potential. Here is the proof. Meadows was succesful at Alcoa because he could take advantage of Alcoa's open school zone policy. He knew how to play the game in Blount County. When he went to William Blount he knew the advantages that Maryville and Alcoa had and worked hard to keep his players there and influence players to move into the William Blount school zone. Players matter more than coaches. IF YOU AIN'T CHEATIN,YOU AIN'T TRIN !

No matter the coach they get, that person will have to connect with the kids and get the athletes out of the hall ways and on to the football field. There are so many kids in that school that can play the game but have chose not to for many different reasons. The new guy will have to get that fixed before he starts trying to recruit. He will also have to get into the middle schools that feed Heritage and keep the kids intrested in the High School football program. It's going to be a tough task for whoever it is.

For whatever reason, Heritage seems to be one of those schools that just doesn't win. Maryville gets all the talent in that county and the other two schools seem to get the scraps. No offense to the Mountaineers but Rewis had a good coaching record before going to Maryville five years ago (?). If a solid coach like him could not get the job done maybe it can't be done? If you don't have the jimmy's and the joe's, well you know the old saying.

Heritage has had success in the past with similar talent. Never the biggest or fastest but still pretty good teams. Late 80's had playoff teams, mid to late 90's had playoff teams. Those teams were coached by Earl McMahan 80's and Danny Wilson 90's. Heritage has some very good young talent on that team but need a few more kids in place. Like I said before the new coach will have to start in the school to get the kids wanting to play football again. To many kids dont play because of the lack of success over the past few years. Heritage can win again, how soon, I don't know?

How bout a hometown boy with Head Coaching Experience for the job......Jon McBrayer. Did as good as a man can at Union County. I think bringing in a guy with hometown roots might be the answer for this program.

 

 

 

Jon McBrayer is not the answer for Heritage. I heard from former players that while he was an assistant at Heritage under Wilson he was not well liked, and the players felt like he did not know what he was talking about. His only experience is at Union County where he had a dismal record. I am not sure he would be the right fit.

 

The new coach at Heritage is going to have to built speed, a sense of community, discipline, keep players from Maryville & Alcoa, get players out of the hallways, and build a winning attitude. It will be hard to find the right person for the job that wants the job. Good luck to Heritage on the search. It seems like they are a school that could have success (5-5, 6-4 seasons) with the right coach. I hope the Heritage program is built up and becomes competitive.

So if I may ask a couple of questions... If I were the parent of a decently athletically talented kid and I was looking for a school where he might have the chance to be coached and molded into a better athlete as well as get more exposure for himself where should I send him? Or should I just sit back and wait for the phone to ring?

I know Flip Pearson ... he could be a good fit for HHS. I know Mike White as well and he would be perfect for the job but why would you make a move like that. I just do not see it.

This question seems to smell of fish bait. Are you really wanting to know or are you just stirring the pot?

Best of luck finding a new coach. We have been blessed to have Coach Courtney for all these years he is really one of the good people around high school football he is truly players first. If i had to suggest anything for the search find a coach will you believe to mold your players into fine young men and you will be surpirsed how that will carry over to the football field. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

 

P.S.

If always open for an Offensive Cord. Position just putting the word out there. /flower.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":flower:" border="0" alt="flower.gif" />

      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.
