Will Antioch and Cane Ridge ever name new coaches


Recommended Posts

Metro football is going backwards while other systems outside Metro continue forward. Very few schools in Metro will continue to win. Quality of coaching is a huge difference. Sad is that coaches outside Metro would not even get hired if they wanted to. SMDH

Its amazing how the fraternity of Metro coaches has an issue with the hires.  Be happy there is a coach now.  Lets quit beating around the bush.  The hire fits the demographics of the school.  A African American male will lead the highest profile sport in the school. If I am not mistaken, is this not the 1st African American head football coach in the history of the school?  What will happen is, there will be an influx of players to play, because they can relate to the coach.  The principal made the hire she wanted, and after seeing and hearing how no one wanted to play because of the coaches.  Hall will do a good job.  Did he fit in at Ezell-Harding. No.  Why, because of who he is. It is not about X's and O's a lot of times, but the support you get.  He will have plenty of support at Antioch, because a lot of the coaches there are African American. You all think you know football so well. Ha

She hired the coaches you mention that players did not want to play for. If you think this is a good hire then good for you you. If you think players only play for a color of skin you are dead wrong. Many coaches at many schools with many black players ,played and won with white coaches.Are you saying kids only relate to a coach that is his color? What a crock of crap! And by the way it is about a little x and o. He did not win at ezell because he was black and most players white? Wow, talk about someone who thinks he knows football. You don't even know about relationships with coach and player. Players could care less what color of skin the coach has. Ezell hired him because they thought he was a good coach. Maybe they should have asked you about the demographics first.

I have a problem with the hire because I care about those kids. This has been handled in a way that was not in the best interest of the kids involved. As for the other crap that's what it is. I'm a white guy with some Irish and a whole lot of native American in me. I've got many kids that I still keep in touch with and all used to call me their school daddy. It's about building a relationship of trust, care, respect, responsibility, etc.

Gentlemen!!!!! Congratulations, the good ole' boy system is back in Metro. Hall is friends with Kroger's brother and Woods (who also applied at Antioch) played for Reese at Tennessee State.  Metro is apparently changing period. Both programs will suffer terribly. There is more to football in Metro than just coaching...... You got to be able to do it all!  We have it made in the private schools. We get your best kids. We don't worry about fundraising, facilities, or field maintenance. Its all taken care of by our boosters and outside companys. As far as the whole Black American Male to the White American Male Coach.............  You are all being ridiculous. Woodward left with a winning record and Peden was the OC (The farmers just got tired). CR's HC left with a winning record and apparently got pushed out by administration for a bigger plan yet to be seen. The only thing those kids and the coaches need to relate to is hard work and a winning work etthic, color or background has nothing to do with it.  All the good coaches that are left in Metro will stay put at their schools ( East, Overton, Hillsboro) or move out of county to coach.  Bottom line............. Neither team will see a State Championship within the next 10-20 years.

 

Inside why do you care? Started in Metro and after 10 yrs found out how corrupt it truly is.  I got tired of doing things the right way alone and went to where all players,parents, and coaches understand the importance of football within the school and each young man that plays the game. You wanna see a program done right. Go see a Blue Tornado play on Friday Night. Honor, Truth, and Duty!

    • 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.
