Why BA would not take a serious look at Paul Wade is beyond me. I have seen all of these names thrown out and very few people talking about Coach Wade. The man has won ever place he has been, and Bowers couldn't win the big one until he got here. If he doesn't get a call or an interview then that would tell me that BA isn't that serious about their opening. Add to the fact he now knows the inner workings over here at Ensworth and he looks even better!

My point is PJPII doesn't have the depth of a BA. If they have three QB prospects and they are all pretty equal and one is a big kid, I can absolutely see how they might say, Hey lets put this one on

Well, that's good. But, any good leader knows how to make sure the supporters will be with him. The examiner article just gave some names, but I think everyone knows the decision will ultimately be made by one person- and it should.

 

 

Absolutely, Curt has been an excellent headmaster. I really like the way he is going about this. No need to rush things, just be sure and get the right fit. Hopefully, he will also take the time to talk to assistant coaches, and players about what the issues have been over the past few years.

The headmaster should focus on hiring a AD 1st then a HC. The AD should have input on the HC hire.

The AD/HC combo is a tough job. During football season your AD needs to be able to focus on the athletic program, not just X's and O's.

Seems like Carlton would be the natural choice for AD and then go after your next Head Coach with his help and background. :popcorneater:

Letter came from school to alumni asking for input on decision for coach. I thought this was a good move. Obviously, the decision needs to be made by the experts ( which I am not one- just another guy with an opinion), but I find it a quality move by the leadership to reach out for us to weigh in.

 

 

The letter said that the Alumni Council was meeting Monday and they are looking for input on the PROCESS of hiring a new coach.

 

I think they want good solid thoughts on how to go about looking this time......committee, single person and who. They also want thoughts on what a coach for BA needs...attributes, personality, qualifications, working with existing coaching staff etc.

 

Last time it was a one man search. Someone that has no boys and never played football. Don't believe Coach Flatt has any input.

 

Alumni are to send some constructive thoughts to one of those people on the list.

That makes no sense. Coach has no input?? Why would he not? Why not ask the builder how to fix the building??

I think gofans was saying that last time (when coach Potter was hired) it was a one may search and that Coach Flatt had no input . . .

 

My understanding is that this was not the case. I think Coach Flatt had input and endorsed the hiring of Coach Potter.

He had input on the Potter hire. He will have an input on the new hire, so will ex headmaster Bill Brown.

No, I know Flatt had some input last time. What I said is " I don't believe Coach Flatt HAS any input".....meaning this time. Believe what you want.

Sorry . . . it followed a sentence that started with "Last time . . . " so I misunderstood your meaning.

 

I would be very surprized is Coach Flatt wasn't given at least a behind the scenes role or consulted in any way. He is very much a part of the school and many of those who are very involved with the decision are close to him.

Max vs the other JPII QBs? and you surmise they are all equal? good heavens. let's put it this way, if max is not our QB next yr we are in trouble - big big trouble. and one more comment, i said this earlier. i was at my alma mater 2 wks or so, ranked among the top college teams in the country, going to a BCS bowl, and the recruiting head attended my tailgate and knew of our QB. enough said

 

penn state? haha

      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.
