Over the past 2 seasons Coalfield has been awful!

 

2007 1-20

That's 1-44 in the last two years. The program is at the bottom so what can they do to improve and get back to at least the regional touranament? I would like to see them be more respectable. I also feel there are kids in the school that could play but don't.

 

What is the solution?

1.) Get a coach! One that has a proven record in H.S.

2.) Get the kids to play good defense

3.) Have tougher practices

4.) Get kids to come out and play

5.) Get kids to have a positive attitude about being a player.

 

They only need to beat Sunbright and Oakdale to get to a region so that could be done pretty quick if they do the things needed to build a program.

 

I have always heard that football tries to keep their kids from playing basketball down there. I would think that basketball would help keep them in shape and make them better athletes.

I think it seems like since they are so close the basketball players go to wartburg and the football players go to coalfield.. i mean look at these programs... wartburg basketball is always good, football is always terrible. coalfield football is usually always good, basketball not always. Plus they are going through a spell where there are not many talented kids coming through their system it will all be better in a few years.

Ha Ha Ha! This is all pretty funny.

 

 

Somehow I don't think that getting a coach from P.J. will do the deal but it may be a step in the right direction.

Do you think that if they posted the coaching position that Coalfield might be able to attract a young, hungry coach?

 

I watched them play about a dozen times, which was about a dozen times too many, this year and think that the team could have been much more competitive.

 

During most of their games they played very little defense and even were attempting to run with teams like Wartburg and Cumberland Gap. That's not smart. In this district they should be able to hang with Oakdale and Sunbright. I don't think that is asking to much from em

    • 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.
