Milan's boys basketball coach Todd Sheppard was relieved of his coaching duties last week...He had the impossible job of coaching basketball in a football town...bad move by Milan administration IMO...Coach Sheppard is a class act and ran a class program...he had some success with the program but not many wins in the last few years...what sussessful coach can they get that's going to even think about taking that job...what's next....firing football coach Morris because he's lost 4 state champ games in a row??...Milan needs to start thinking about firing the principal, the sup and the school board

He is a class act. Did an excellent job with limited talent. Had the privilege of coaching against him for several years. His teams always played hard and executed very well. His successor isfilling huge shoes and will be hard pressed to improve on what Todd accomplished. Poor decision by Milan admin.

I agree with you...Coach Shep said in the paper that if he stays at Milan to teach and coach volleyball, he'll have to get a part time job to make up for losing his bkb coaching supplement...he's got 2 kids at Union Univ.....which is not cheap ( they've still got a whole lot of my money from the 80's)...they're on athletic schlorships but I'm sure they're not full rides....good luck Milan in finding a coach with as much class and character as Coach Sheppard Edited by cofo

A former graduate at Union University, State Championship Coach, and great basketball IQ? Am I on the right track here guys. That is the person I am hearing. If so, he will do a great job!

that's the word on the street I'm hearing too....I talked to someone who currently works closely with this mystery coach in his current job and they said the coach and Milan HAVE talked but that's about all they knew Edited by cofo

    • 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.
