Not sure why Thomas or Bond would want this gig. Seems like a lateral move to me. Is Blackman any better than Shelbyville or WC? It doesnt seem to be from an outsiders perspective. Money may be a little better. But Bond does well with the team camp, I'm sure. Not trying to slight Blackman. Just doesnt make alot of sense to me. What am I missing?

Just my two cents worth as far as the lateral move part goes, I agree on the exterior it appears like a wash at best. But I have interviewed in both school systems within the past 5 years, and the pay and benefits in Murfreesboro city are better. Actually, quite a bit better.

Sometimes it is the timing.

From an outsiders perspective it is a lateral move. From someone who knows the area and the athletes it is not.

 

Blackamn has tons of athletes in the schools as can be seen in what Shadowens has done with football there. The freshmen basketball teams are always strong at blackman as well. (im not saying that good freshmen=good varsity)

 

The problem with Blackman basketball has been this... The kids couldnt stand Turnham so they quit. And the ones that stayed around didnt want to play for him, they just wanted to play basketball. I am by no means a blackman fan, but if the right person gets this job, they will have plenty of athletes to choose from. not saying they are going to be a state contender, but they could def make a run in the district/region.

 

By the way, my insider info tells me that the job is Kevin Woodson's to turn down. He has been spotted at numerous Blackman events the past few weeks.

    • 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.
