who will be William blount next head coach?


Recommended Posts

If Meadows ends up coming back would he be able to repeat the success he had the last time he was here and/or take the program to an even higher level? I've been thinking about that alot lately and I don't know. I know i've idealized Meadows time at WB on here in the past, mostly because things have been so bad and I wanted things to be back to the way they were. But things have changed alot. The biggest reason I have reservations about Meadows coming back is I don't know if he can make the kids we have now winners. The last time Meadows was here It seemed like we had alot of self motivated guys that would work out on their own time and it seems like laziness and a lack of discipline has been a real issue with the teams we've had lately. My question is would Meadows be able to inspire the kids we have now to work harder and give 100%?

You will never get the answer to that question because Meadows won't be hired back. I don't have a problem with him but there are many that do and some of those have the power to insure that he is not hired. I agree that WB has had their share of laziness but it doesn't apply to all. I can tell you a few that started working the Monday after the season was over and they have been working with someone that actually knows what he is doing and they have already put on 20-30 lbs of muscle and improved their 40 times, last count there were 9 or 10 doing this own their own on top of doing everything asked of them in regular football workouts, and all while the one cancer filled asst coach has ridiculed them and told them they should not be doing it. So not all of them are lazy.

well,

it's not hard to figure out why that is. He did lie to the team the last time he was here. he told them he was staying and the next day he left for catholic. alot of the players that were there when he did that are still bitter about the whole thing. That's good to hear, how many kids are working out for football in total?  And there's an assistant coach ridiculing kids for working hard? that makes about as much sense as actively trying to lose.

The board didn't ban him. That is another complete fabrication. He and Don Odom, the Superintendent of Rutherford County, have been at odds over this because the "investigation" was completed a few weeks ago but Don will not release the findings to the public. Shads arty called Angel McCloud yesterday and was informed "Mr. Shadowens did absolutely nothing wrong but until I get approval from Mr. Odom to release that information I am still under instruction to tell anyone who asks that the investigation is still open." When she was questioned by the local paper about her conversation with Shads atty she recanted what she told him. On the issue of the RCSO "investigating" they aren't. Yesterday the central office handed over their COMPLETED investigation for review to make sure they didn't miss anything. There is no "new" or "second" investigation. Coach Shad has remained silent on all of this because he knows what the truth is and knows he did nothing wrong. He feels the truth will eventually come out, however, that doesn't mean he is going to let certain people, (the president of the Blackman booster club) continue to slander his name. Bottom line is this; a principal can "fire" a coach of any sport at any time if they wish, with or WITHOUT any "issues" but she can't do the same thing with their actual employment with the school if there is no wrong doing. So answer me this, if Shad did something with booster funds or funds in the football account, WHY IS HE STILL EMPLOYED AT THE SCHOOL AND TEACHING THERE??? If he had done anything like that he would have lost BOTH jobs, Coach AND Teacher......

 

 

I have seen where a lot of people speak highly of him. The only thing I can't figure out is why did the board ban him from coaching anywhere in Rutherford Co. Do you know the answer?

if what you are saying is true it sounds like some shady stuff is going on over there and Shadowens needs to get the heck out of dodge.

He is a total cancer that has run off several helpers down there the last couple of years and he just can't stand the fact that these kids are getting results from someone other than him and he keeps spouting off to the kids about it, he will get over it....hopefully the new coach will make him the equipment manager, if he is very smart.

Hope you do, and I hope you get to experience what our boys have for the last 6 years. If I had the ability to pack up my family and follow him, I'd do it no matter where he went. God, family, football, that's what he teaches and he not only talks the talk but he walks the walk, as do his wife and three daughters. Great great family, all the way around!

    • 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.
