Lenoir City Coach

I can assure you that I am not bitter. It was one of the most valuable experiences I have ever had. I am in a much better place and will be able to stay here as long as I want without looking over my shoulder for backstabbing parents, or dealing with administrators that don't trust me to do my job. I have been here three years and though we have not been successful, I haven't had one conversation with an administrator about any basketball or teaching decision I've made. I also haven't had a single issue with parents about playing time or anything else for that matter. The only thing that hurt me about the Lenoir City situation is that I didn't get to finish what I started with this years LC seniors. I have stayed close to them all and followed them every step of the way. Now I have no ties at LC other than the great people who supported me so I really don't don't care what happens from this point forward. I just hated to see Coach Lee not get to go out on his terms like he deserved. As for the "schmuck comment" I retract it....After looking up it's meaning it was inappropriate. I was simply meaning that I feel for the person who replaces Joe, because there are major issues in that system and community that are simply too much for coaches to deal with. As someone said earlier...Why did Shane Wells leave?

Well the smart thing to do would be to get a coach from Mars so he/she doesn`t know anyone!! Then everybody starts off fresh, then a few months from now when he/she has been here the same parents can get there claws into them and we can start all over. We need someone who will stand up to certain parents and we all know who we are talking about. AD make some rules (so those parents can break). The new coach needs some of the mommies phone numbers so they can check in and make sure nobody is sad!!! :flower:

Heard Wayne Miller released a statement that they had an overwhelming response for the position. That is interesting, because I also heard only 15 people applied for the job. That is definately not an overwhelming response. Also heard that Wayne said they had narrowed it to a really good prospect, who would be good for the program; then that person turned around that day and took the Kingston job. It seems to me that they are going to be stuck with a much less qualified coach than the guy that was forced out. SAD!!!!!

    • 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.
