I'm going to start off by saying it can not be the players.  You can not continue to blame this on the players.  Maybe that worked the first year, but it is time we tell the truth.  These are the same boys that were extremely successful in Jr. ball.  In my opinion, management has thrown their hands up.  I can not believe the principal or higher ups have not done something about this.  So much for stepping down to single A ball.  We are still going to end up last in the district. 

 

The coaches have NO idea how to adjust.  For one, what does the head coach do?  Vestal was offensive coordinator last year and now he is defensive coordinator.  Friday night was a disgrace to Meigs County.  The coaches had no idea what so ever how to adjust and stop them from scoring. Most coaches make adjustments but not them.  They keep doing the same thing then say the boys are not doing their job or they don't have heart.  Being a home town boy don't make you a coach and certainly don't win ball games.   

 

Now lets talk about offense.  WHY? Why are we running a spread offense?  We do not have the athletes to run a spread.  Rockwood's second string played the entire second half and we could not score on them until the last couple of minutes into the game. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out.  If it isn't working - CHANGE! 

 

What is going on?  Where is our pride?  We need to do something to turn this around.  We haven't had a winning season in five years. Am I the only one who is over it????????

I would also like to add the fact that they have been competive in basketball and baseball the past few years but still come up short in football.  Are the same kids playing football, or are they not sharing athletes well???

 

I realize that the two other sports do not always translate to success on the football field, but there is sometimes a correlation.

That's what happens when you practice 2 days a week, tues and thurs, I don't count Mon  because the team has to run pretty much run all afternoon according the points scored by the opposition. Is this how you make a team better...by running? Or do the coaches not have any other kind of answer. I think some of the blame goes out to all the Meigs county fans that signed a petition to forcefully get in the current coaching staff. Hows that petition working for you now? Meigs county used to be one of the toughest teams to beat in the area. I foresee an mass exodus of football players leaving the program. Better make a change fast or Meigs might not have enough kids to have a football program. I see no wins in the furture. I wish the best for the program. Something needs to be done and done NOW! any arguments? None for me, the scoreboard proclaims the truth. Can you handle the truth? Again best wishes for the program, may they be competitive SOON. If you have any suggestions please help this team.

I'm sure the coaches know more than you parents and good ole boys. Any quality coach knows once you commit to a system then you see it through. Only idiots think you can Change a whole offense or defense in a week. Either get behind your coach and team or don't go to the games,don't listen to on the radio!

5 years is longer than a week, ask Derek Dooley why UT couldn't commit into his system and see it through. The good ole boys have had their time at Meigs, time for a change.

Good ole/ boys that who we have coaching now. If they knew what they were doing there should not be a need to completely change the offense or defense 5 games into the season. Meigs has a good following and instead of not going or listening to the radio you should attend school board meetings and voice your frustration with the current coaching situation.

It's the head coaches responsibility to be able to assess what the team needs from his position on down.  If your team doesn't have the atheletes to run the spread option, find something that fits your tallent.  The offensive coordiantor shouldn't be so narrow minded to think that just because he likes the offense, he can run it no matter what.  Especially without the personnel needed.  There have been too many coaches that have fell in this hole.  The teams that Meigs had in the 90's were loaded with tallent.  They had the size, they had the power (The Meadows boys), the speed (Tyrone), so they could run the wing T to perfection.  Cleveland of the 90's could run whatever they wanted, Tellico had that massive O-line in the early 90's, that is why they could run the Single Wing (or Notre Dame box, whichever you want to call it), Marion County had Eric Westmoreland....  I could go on and on.  But the problem each of these teams saw is that when the tallent left, the head coaches weren't flexible, and because they couldn't adapt to what they did have, those coaches have been sent packing or retired under less than fortunate circumstances. apsugovs7 said that UT doesn't have the tallent.  The reason for that, TN hasn't had a system in place that fit what they did have and haven't had any success.  You can say kids don't have heart, but if they don't have something to be excited about and something that they CAN EXECUTE, something they can run and see success from, they wish they were somewhere else or go somewhere else.   A change needs to be made.  The question is, will it be the head coach or will he let it drag on and force the principal to make one?  Let's hope it doesn't go that far.  There is too much tradition at Meigs County.  I hope it's the Head Coach that makes it and soon.  Changing an offense isn't as bad in highschool as it is at any other level.  Blocking stays the same for linemen.  Backs can learn formations pretty quick.

Some play multiple sports, but there are several good athletes that either quit or did not come out because they knew with the same coaches they would get the same results.... a loosing season.  The majority of the problem is not the players.  It is how they are prepared and game day stratagy that does it.

      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.
