any thoughts on who will want it

 

My thoughts exactly. The guy that takes this job better be careful. Fired a great guy 3 years ago. Not sure about the most recent coach, but talent pool is thin, and they are moving to AAA next year. Good luck getting a guy with proven success to stick his neck out for that.

The great guy who was fired 3 years ago would have won easily with the group there now. Stone returns all but two starters. A coach with a proven track record and real coaching ability could surprise the new district with this group. The last guy is a nice guy. He is not a baseball coach.

I think it's a great job, there was off the field issues the reason they ran the coach off 3 years ago.

 

You have a outstanding field, and I think there in a better district because your getting away from Alcoa, CAK & Loudon. I understand your going into Cookeville district but I can see Stone fighting for 2nd place with Rhea County, Warren County & Cumberland County

I have not seen the field in a few years, but I have heard it is nice

With the present administration, who were willing to settle for last or next to last place three years in a row, fighting for second place seems a lofty goal. Last years talent pool at Stone could have won the District had they had any mentoring. Nothing in Cumberland County High School baseball will change until parents get tired of just settling. Somehow a fire has to be lit under the BOE and High School Principals that as far as baseball the system has failed miserably. I do hope a little more forethought is put into hiring the next coach for the sake of the young men involved. They deserve much better than has thus far been afforded them. I also think Coaches, at least head Coaches need to be certified teachers. It's not that way in Cumberland County, you work in the school system you can Head Coach. There's just something wrong with that picture.

I agree that the Cumberland Co BOE has not stepped up and provided any of our '2nd Tier' teams a chance. No support at all. The fields on both high schools are nice, but that's it. When they decided to split the schools they diluted the sports teams talent pools and both schools have struggled to recover. The majority of the population is retirement age and most don't give a hoot about our sports teams. Being said, CCHS baseball has had some stability by having a head coach stick around and work hard at building his teams with what he has. KUDOS to him. I hope Stone can get it solved, but it will be strange of having both the teams in the same district.

    • 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.
