Metro Coaching Carousel

It's hard for 5A Metro teams (always matched with the Sumner County schools) and 6A Metro teams (always matched with the Williamson & Rutherford County Schools) to be as competitive in the playoffs. This includes Overton who may actually be the best M.N.P.S. of all but never gets recognized because they play in a "loaded" class. Two other classic examples of this happening to are this past season's Antioch & Glencliff teams (both had nice seasons) who were each a quick exit in the playoffs.

 

Pearl-Cohn & Maplewood have a much easier road in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs (playing rural county schools and/or west-TN schools that aren't what I'd call football "powers").

 

East Literature & Stratford can't take advantage of this because they are taking away from one another and as a result numbers aren't as high or quality as many think. If they were to still co-op under one football program then it would be a power just like PCHS & MHS.

 

Whites Creek was improved this year but all of their coaching change in recent years has caused the football program to suffer a major "setback". Hopefully Murray can turn the Cobras into a contender once again before he leaves for another job (which is bound to happen).

Totally agree with this post. Can Maplewood or Pearl make a run in 2012?

Pearl returns 9 starters to the offensive side of the football. They have 2 good backs in Hogan & Vaughn. They have to replace the fullback Miles (who I have no doubt will get signed somewhere). They lose McDonald as a receiver. They return their line which will be anchored by Hooten (6'6 325). Both Gordon & Knight are back to run the show at the QB position. It will be interesting to see how they decide to do this next year. Will they play just 1 of them and move the other to WR? Will they keep the 2 QB system?

 

Defensively PC loses all 11 starters. YIKES! They'll have the athletes to step in and play I am sure.

 

Being a Metro Magnet School I'd venture to say that a couple of really good athletes could potentially fall into the laps of Brunetti and his staff. They've done a great job developing key additions (i.e. William Johnson in 2007) to their system and winning with them in recent years.

    • 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.
