The final say would be up to RL I imagine. You don't think Rankin and Creasy are reaching a little?

Maybe. But you never know. Rankin has tons of family here. Son plays ball at tech. Be closer for him to see his boy. Money talks tho. Do you think that they would consider promoting from within? Dickerson maybe? And will the hackett boys stay put?

This isn't Cannon Co. or Macon Co. but it isn't not Ensworth either. I'm sure lot of coaches will be talking to Maynard and Gentry about the job, and I would expect them to give nothing but high praises for the program, community, and support. You know it hasn't been a secret that Maynord has interviewed for a job or 2 the last few years. Other coaches know this too and have inquired about the job should it come open. Larry (Tootie) Silcox is the A.D. and will have a say or at least a recommendation to Mr. Lewis I would think. Besides coaches that apply, it couldn't hurt to ask around. If there is somebody on a "short list" they are interested in, ask, all they can do is say no.

Rankin is from here, all HIS family is here, he played here, got his 1st head coaching job here, his son plays 30 miles up the road from here, but I don't look for him to come back here......as a coach anyways. If anyone in the program would consider the head job, I think it would be Dickerson or more probable Harville. I think the 2 Hackett boys will stay with it. They love it too much to let go. Makes for interesting speculation though don't it?? Speculation eases the sting a little too. I think the powers at be now remember the Mayfield years and know the Rankin and Maynord years and will make a good choice.

Let me be the first to tell you as an owl fan the sting SUCKS!! But i do believe the ad/board and boosters see to it that a good choice is made. Do u think harville or dickerson could be successful?

I'm pretty sure Harville has been offered jobs before.....maybe Macon Co.. Either would be a good coach, but only if they really want it. It's hard being from here and coaching here. Too many folks thing lil Johnny is a star, and (just my opinion) it's easier for someone else (outsider) to be the bad guy and play who needs to be playing, and not influenced by lil Johnny's parents. Maynord wasn't from around here, and didn't live here so it didn't matter what your name was If you could play, you played.Logan McKinney is a perfect example. Another thing is, I think both Dickerson and Harville have little kids. The head job is many, many hours if you do it right and could be a little difficult being the man that follows THE MAN too.

    • 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.
