Early predictions for 8-AA 2013


Recommended Posts

So if there is a shakeup, Smith County goes toward the bottom? The shape of the coaching staff after the meltdown is all that concerns me? A head coaching change at SCHS, if there is truth to it, is not an automatic trip to the bottom. We were Smith County before our HC came and we'll be Smith County long after we're all gone. If it isn't official, it's rumor and speculation. One thing is official, I'm SCP4LIFE!!

Well I've talked to some very important players for next year, and they state that if there is a coaching change they are leaving..

Then let them leave!!! That is stupid to leave because of a coaching change! That is not having pride in your school or your community!! If they leave then, and when they come back people should ignore them and act as if they do not exist!!

No disrespect but if anybody is leaving, then they aren't too darn important. Since you talk to them, tell them i asked them to not let the door hit them in the "backside" on the way out. All the talk about "Man Up","WTD" and "SCP" is just that i guess...just talk.

I told them that they didn't have the true SCP if they would leave, but they're teenagers so.. they don't care really

The talk is three are gone. Plus talking to players, they say they are leaving also..

 

If Coach leaves for something better that is fine. If he takes some assistants with him that is fine. I am all for anyone improving themselves. As far as players saying they will leave, that is fine also. We all know these are young kids and would be upset to lose the only coach they know. Also, there is a lot more to "leaving" than just getting up one morning and say, "well I am going to another school today." Let no one fool you, Smith County is a VERY, VERY ATTRACTIVE job. I personally know several very good coaches who have been watching the situation here in Carthage for a few years, hearing that Coach might leave. Trust me, getting a QUALITY coach is not a problem. SC's reputation, facilities, community support, school support and 90 plus players out for football is unheard of in many communities. As for assistants leaving also, fine as they feel they are improving their situation also. What this does is allow the new coach to bring assistant(s) with him and make this hire even more attractive. If Coach(s) leave, good luck to each and we will move forward with new blood. The sky is not going to fall if we make a coaching change.

Good post...my friend. You can't blame anyone for leaving if they want to. Good luck to them if it does happen. I felt the same when Gary left. I hope the right staff can be found to continue to improve the program. This staff has definitely done that.

    • 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.
