Never happen Butchie,the qualities that Coach Bland displayed so eloquently in his letter are in short supply nowadays...instant gratification is the ticket and the majority probably support the decision.Humboldt's football program was/is one any community should be proud of...not trying to "upgrade" by knifing a solid coach(and obviously stellar human being) in the back.It sticks in my craw that they're spinning this deal now that Reid was slighted by not having the job as promised earlier being the reason...HOGWASH.Not trying to slight Coach Reid...for all I know he's just as wonderful as they say,but the administration has shown their true colors...mostly yellow.

 

 

Tradertwo so true couldnt have said it better ..its a much different time and day now in a swirling world we are losing slowly and having to be PC so as not to step on toes

People, we can choke this chicken for weeks and it's still what it is!!!! A travesty on the part of HHS. Dan Bland is a legendary coach in west Tennessee and deservedly so. He's a winner!! Not "good ol boys" this was some home cooking!!!!!!! I've never had an issue with Humboldt HS before now but NOW..............................................

 

Humboldt fans to some extent may be able to play down the "good 'ol boy" theme but explain away the "home cooking" one. It can't be done.

 

Good luck coach Bland!!

We Sure Could Use A Lil Dan Balnd In Mckenzie!....Good Luck Coach...the stink of this will last a decade i'm bettin

Talk about being the man that follows the man...let Humboldt have a down year,kid or two get into trouble,or even have a questionable play call cost a game or two and a decade will be relativley short.I'm sure that there are a few folks left in the 'Boldt who appreciated what Coach Bland ment to the program...and you'll probably hear from them if the Vikings stumble.

I have to admit that I don't know anything about coach Bland's record outside West TN but that alone is enouigh to warrant controversey considering his record at Humboldt (and some other area schools)!! I won't aim at a lot of the Viking fans because I know that they are as shocked as many of us others are but those who are responsible surely will pay for this one. I don't know the new "coach" but he better ride in on Pegasus swinging Hans Solo's light sabre to equal up.

Us Rebel fans are like a former Presidents statement somewhat about fooling people. We can spell some of the words some of the time but not all the words all the time. We were too busy thinking about football to pay attention all the time in English.

Ha! I was kidding. I love McKenzie. I taught history there a long time ago.

    • 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.
