Walt Smith - Giles County- I have seen him coach several years at MTP and Zion. Runner-up in the state this year at Giles County. At MTP he had some very good football players at skill positions and on the line. He has a great offensive mind and is able to motivate he kids to mesh together. At Zion, he took some average kids and made them believe they could win. He got them to the playoffs and had some big wins. I sure did hate to see him leave the Eagles Nest but I understand he had higher dreams. Once again at Giles, he has taken great talent and gotten them to believe in the team concept. I have talked to some of his past players and they say he is a players coach. He puts his players in good situations to make big plays.

 

Go Eagles! Go Tigers!

I think you could add Roger Perry on the list as one of the best in Middle TN. With what he did at Portland and turning Mt Juliet around and making them a championship contender. Hasn't had the elite talent a lot of programs have had; but gets the most out of the talent he did have.

Roger didn't have elite talent at Portland but he had more than enough talent to win a state championship at MJ.

    • 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.
