Players make the biggest differences year in and year out,not the coach. Coach Waite will do a very good job. If it was all coaching then the same team would win every year. Name some teams that win e

But Aydelott on the other hand, who was a metro guy that was smart enough to get out too...he's still fair game? Although I do have to say you seem to be warming up to him a bit.

 

I have always thought Coach A was a 'nice' guy and smart that he got out of Metro. What I had a problem with was his bringing the Metro 'ATTITUDE' with him. R'dale has never been a school where if and when you lost you just said "Oh well, at least we played well". We said, "What happened and what do we need to do to fix it.". Also there was a NO MERCY attitude and we took no prisoners. Football is a war and showing mercy in a war will get you killed just like it will get you beat in football.

 

Also while R'dale has never been a pass happy offensive school, at least we did it. That was NOT done with Coach A until he got both pressure from without and within after the first season in 20 years where we did NOT make the playoffs. I know he would love to have a pure WingT run offense win the State Championship, it has not happened yet. Odds are it never will either. That is just a fact of life that neither he or I can change. Thing is I admit it and he is coming around to it, FINALLY!

Delaware has done pretty decent with the WingT.

 

Three national championships with nine conference championships isn't too shabby.

 

Yes, but that is College and NOT high school. Also Delaware passes with it! When Coach A came you would have thought the word PASS was taboo and not in his vocabulary.

 

His bringing a couple other coaches did not help either as they immediately had the deer in the headlights look when they hit 5A/6A ball in Rutherford County. Thankfully they are gone and DEFENSE is starting to be played again.

Georgia high school football, which is superior to Tennessee in most respects must be really confusing to you with all the wing t teams that win championships.

I can certainly testify to this being the case at HHS under Aydelott. It was an extremely rare occurrence to see HHS teams throw the ball when he was there.

 

Look, the Wing-T is not a bad offense in and of itself, by any stretch. It has been plenty successful for various coaches across various levels of football. Where Aydelott's problem WAS (as apparently he has now gone to passing pretty often out of it, and beat Blade's Oak Ridge team in the quarterfinals this past season in addition to Riverdale winning the district) his teams could regularly count on beating teams (SOME very good teams, btw) with tremendous defense and a running game for the ages that would just force opposing teams into physical and mental submission.

 

However, if his team ever did get behind late in a close game, they had a hard time moving the ball and scoring very quickly. I always wonder what would have happened against Maryville in the 2001 and 2002 state championships if Aydelott and Hemontolor would have been less resistant to passing the football, but I digress. Bottom line to me is Aydelott finally being willing to throw out of the Wing-T is best for his success and his program's.

Yeah, maybe they could wave a magic wand and turn Tim Gray into Cam Newton.

 

Tim Gray was a great wing-t quarterback, but not a great passer.

lod, for a guy that has only negative thoughts about metro you sure are spending alot of time on this thread. you must like self torture or something. ;)

Just one that is originally from 'Metro'. My roots are in Antioch as my Mother was a Valdictorian there. A BUNCH of my friends graduated from there.

 

It is just remembering the great teams that have come from there that is motivating my dislike of what it has become.

 

This state of affairs is generally not the Coaches fault. It has to do with what alot of things that has gone wrong with our country more than anything. Thing is what is wrong there could be corrected alot easier than the rest of the country. Like the country it will not get better until citizens from all over actually get involved and speak up.

 

Now will Metro actually hire 'new' coaches or just move around mediocre ones like usual?

      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.
