Harriman travels to Midway

True story. I've found articles when Butch was at other schools and their fans complained about the same things we are. Guess that's just who he is as a coach.

By no means am I trying to get rid of him, but I want a old school coach. Where defense is key, we'll run it straight downhill down your throat, and my quarterback will sit in the pocket and make throws down field.

I've heard from a guy that used to play for UT say that he was talking to Steve Mariuci and he asked why Butch was trying to turn a 243 lb RB into a scat back. I agree with that. We have the best of both worlds with Hurd and Kamara but he won't use them that way for some reason. Edited by RudyWasOffsides

Maybe to other fans but game was never in doubt in my mind. I believe cf even played some younger kids in the fourth quarter.

I definitely agree with what you're saying 100%. Midway wasn't going to win that game. The concern was that the coaches got a little conservative and allowed midway to play themselves back into the game. Before you rip me, let me say that CF would beat Midway 10 times out of 10

A win is a win. But I've talked to different fans from CF and I don't think that game was as comfortable as you're making it out to be. Although the game may have been in control, the fact that Midway was able to close in on you all made many CF fans uncomfortable whether you want to admit it or not.

If I remember correctly, Midway fumbled into the end zone in that game also. But the game never was in jeopardy at any point.

I think Kamara would do better taking the ball downhill too.

If both happened, I wouldn't be surprised. Our used car salesman of a head coach can only talk so much. Eventually these kids will realize what us older people already know.

I need a guy that sells brand new Cadillacs for the nice easy ride, not one that breaks down on me once a week and finds every single pothole on the roads

    • 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.
