Passed over the best candidate they had. The current Dekalb middle school coach..... Knows the program, knows the area talent and has won the JCH State Tournament this past season AND a 7th Grade D-2 State AAU Tournament a couple of weeks ago.

 

The hire may do great, but a guy who hasn't been a head coach of anything for a few years and has never coached girls in his entire career sounds like a bad decision to me as an outsider.

Any word on where Cope will land, if anywhere? He was a hard nosed coach that seemed to get a lot out of the girls.

I'm sure he will resurface and land another job somewhere in time. He's not a bad coach by any means, so someone will give him another chance at coaching. It's just a matter of who and when.

I agree with you 100%. Our Middle School coach would of been a much better hire for us IMO.

I'm just on the outside looking in, I've just watched Cope coach on a few occasions. A lot of heart and passion. Kinnard will probably do a fine job, has a lot of talent coming from the 8th grade. Did cope choose to step down or was he let go?

Coach Cope was fired. The writers at WJLE just pitched the story a little differently than what truly happened in reality. They used much nicer words than "fired". The article was wrote in a way so that Coach Cope could go out with a little bit of dignity, and save face too. And I don't reckon there is anything wrong with that either though.

Nope nothing at all wrong with that at all. I've heard rumor that he may be going to warren county but I know of no truth to that. As far as I know the head coach from warren county hasn't changed so not sure what role if any Cope would play in the program. Apparently all the assistants from wc have stepped down.

Is the rumor you heard about Coach Cope going to WC to be the head coach, or going their to be an assistant? But your right, the current WC coach is still in place, and I don't imagine a assistant coaching position pays very much either. I'm sure if he did go to WC as an assistant that he'd also get some type of teaching job too, so that would be the source for his main income.

    • 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.
