So, has anyone heard anymore about this this situation? Did these kids really quit? I've been thinking about this situation and to be quite honest, I just don't get it. I don't see why anyone would want to quit right before their senior year. I guess I'm just an old has been that still longs for the 1980's, but it would have been a cold day in South Texas before I'd have quit right before my senior season. To be more honest, I couldn't stand Bill Winstead, but I still played my heart out for him on every play and I showed him the utmost respect. Again, I don't know all the why's and wherefore's here, but if those kids did quit, I hope they reconsider-football's much like life, it's way too short.

I read this & dug in a little. After talking to a couple players it is only 2 that have quit & neither one of them played last year they just went through spring practice. The 3rd is probably going to have to quit due to a "family issue" that Coach Ellison is trying to give him time to work out & rejoin the team.The two that I was talking to said that Coach Ellison is the best coach they have ever had so I doubt that kids are quitting due to him, they are probably just too lazy to put in the work. I think ole tiger just like stirring stuff up because we spank their hind ends every year!

Thanks for the info me2. I hope the dogs keep their personel together because from the looks of their schedule; they're going to need all hands on deck! Coach Ellison seems to be a dynamic young coach who could accoplish great things in the Burg! Yeah, I think all players should put in the work for the experience of playing high school football. I know I'm sentimental about it all. I don't know how many out there watched the final episode of Friday Night Lights last week, but it reduced me to tears! There's not a more magical time on earth than Friday nights when the field lights are turned on and everything stops but football in towns all across the country!

i talk to a midway guy last nite and he said the puppys were worse team they had seen so far. said they beat them bad. i cant wait to we get are hands on them puppies. we play york friday. im looking forward to that.

Hey its the mouth of the south! Ol sourpuss himself.

I was actually able to make it & it appeared to me that the Dawgs played their JV most of the scrimmage. Even when it was varsity play a lot of those young kids were in. I did notice several players appeared to be injured & a couple more went out with injuries, that does have me very concerned. What is the prognosis on these players?

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
