I don't know if the Sports Animal puts interviews on their website but John and Jimmy had about a 30 minute interview with his dad on Tursday or Friday of last week. His dad said this was something he has wanted to do ever since Fulmer was fired, I think his dad coerced him to stay through last year. His dad also said that Aaron has and is battling depression and just is not happy and feels as if he belongs somewhere else. They ask where he might end up and David said that he really didn't know but that he had always loved North Carolina. This kid did not get to go through a recruiting process, it was known since he was 12 or 13 where he would go to school and his family was so close to the Fulmer's, David said in the interview that the two families had dinner together about once a week, then you get in school and red shirt your first year and then the coach gets fired. He has probably had a lot going through his mind the last year. He will play wherever a team needs him but from the interview I was left feeling like Aaron might not be ready to give up on the tight end position. Jimmy asked David about this and he kind of hem-hawed around and really never answered it but he did say that Aaron was listed at 287 lb last year and that he never weighed an ounce over 275 lb and that may be stretching it. He said this in reference that Aaron could shed some pounds pretty easily if he went somewhere and they wanted him to play TE. Good luck to him where ever he goes, I know this has been really difficult on the family.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
