Does Morristown East Make Coaching Change?

Lets look at the numbers.

 

3 games into his 7th season Hatcher is......

 

39-34 overall

 

4-6 in the playoffs

 

1-7 against rival Morristown West

 

2-4 against rival Jefferson County.

 

Pretty mediocre for a school that has as much talent as East does. What the numbers don't tell you is that he's known for letting star players do whatever they want, having awful sportsmanship (which often is reflected in his players), and repeatedly disrespecting Morristown West even after they beat him every year. If he doesn't turn this season around pretty quick i don't see how they keep him around.

Let's wait until the season is over. I think are freshman & JV teams haven't lost a game this year. So if coach hatcher or

another coach is a Morristown East next year, He will have some talent to work with. GO CANES!

I think thats the problem, JV and Freshman games are almost always decided solely on talent. I think most years he has the talent to be right up there with West, Jeff, and Sevier Co. at the top of the conference but he can never bring it all together.

The three games I have seen Mo East play in the past three years (one on tv), I witnessed just this, as motownanddown describes. I saw mouthy players and whiny coaches. Poor sports and ladies and gentlemen, that tone is set by the head coach and it trickles down. I am not as concerned about wins and losses, although I know every program wants to win games (especially against your big in town rival). Most concerning is the lack of discipline, attitude, and sportsmanship. What are the kids being taught? My two cents....

East has the best Freshman team year in and year out. When they move up to varsity is when Hatcher gets them and we see the results.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
