Coach Kelly Myers, coach at Hickman Co. High will make a good head coach for the MP Tigers. He will get them back to the Walt Smith days. I know he has applied and the "powers that be" need to take a close look.

I think smith was a product of the talent that was there, hence why he jumped ship when he saw it drying up

Walt Smith days? Lol. Take your only great player and run him right. Run him left. Run him up the middle. Give him a break and the opponent catches up. Put him back in and regain the lead. Smith had Marco Dailey. That's it.

You are correct in both points... Smith had loads of talent to work with in '03, '04,'05, then had the superman #12 for a few more years til '08. The talent pool is drying up for mTp as far as kids having the want and drive to play football. The kids just aren't wanting to play. I wouldn't be expecting big things from mTp for a while (few years) until something or someone can energize the possible athletes walking the halls there to come out and play. This coming from a student at school there now; talked with her about this all yesterday, she said the kids going there now are just "lazy and just do not want to make the commitment in time nor hard work that it takes to play sports".... She's a smart one and does play sports at mTp. I take her at her word.

 

You also have to consider that young coaches like Smith and Hoath more than likely had goals in moving into higher paying, bigger schools like 4-5A, to move up in their status and careers. So just not the discipline problems or talent drying up to be the sole reasons.

No how does a Collinwood fan get on here and talk about Mt Pleasant football when they have only beaten them two times since 2003??

 

No Smith or Marco the past two seasons and the combined score is 91-28?

 

2003 & 2009 are the only wins Against Mt Pleasant in that time frame

    • 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.
