the outlook is very serious now ..... please stop and pray even if you don't know Coach Mac... here is the article from the tennessean......

Lipscomb Academy football coach Glenn McCadams has returned to the hospital following recent surgery and is in “serious condition,†according to longtime friend and fellow faculty member Mark Pugh.

“He was hospitalized a couple of weeks ago and underwent successful surgery,†Pugh said Wednesday, referring to a procedure on March 7 to remove a series of tumors. “He went home and things had been looking pretty positive, but they made a turn for the worse.

“He returned to the hospital early Tuesday morning.â€

Pugh was unsure whether McCadams’ condition is related to his previous surgery. He declined to disclose where McCadams is hospitalized, out of respect for the family’s privacy.

McCadams has stage 4 mantle cell lymphoma.

McCadams, 66, has coached at Lipscomb for the past 31 years, leading the program to state championships in 1994, 2002 and 2007 and runner-up finishes in 1998, 2003, 2005 and 2006. Over his 37-year head coaching career, he has won 315 games, making him one of the state’s winningest active coaches.

Prayers for Coach Mc's family from moore county and lynchburg. I learned many lessons from him in defeat. He was classy and was an exceptional example for everyone around. His teams were always prepared and always played with determination. It will be a hole not easily filled by the Lipscomb family

Coach Mac, may you rest in peace. Thanks for all you have done for the young men in your programs. I have, and always will give thanks for getting to know and respect you. You have touched many lives, and I for one know that respect. Our thoughts and prayers from the football staff and team at Hickman County High School to all of yours and the Lipscomb family.

    • 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.
