It could be, but making a desperate move like that makes me worry if Dedman's job is in jeopardy

I wouldn't have any idea. My son is a senior and will be playing on Saturdays next year in spite of how this year went. I like coach Dedman and I'm happy that my son played for him. Since I played and coached basketball I could never give a qualified opinion on any football coaches ability or status.

Don't know the man but heard nothing but good things about him and had a pretty solid rep as a DC. Looked up his record and he's 27-34 in his 6th year with no wins in the playoffs.

 

Not advocating his termination but good coaches have been fired for less

On the bright side Yeldarb mentioned they are returning many starters next year, could be a good year for the Wildcats next year. Will they still lose to MJ? We all know the answer to that.

Like I've said many times this is my kids school not mine. I personally don't like either one but they were better than metro schools that's why we moved out here. He would've been at DCA after his freshman year if I could've talked him into it because I sure tried. i really won't care who wins that game next year.

Continue to settle into the new offense that we changed to after the Franklin game. After 8 weeks we went to a pro style offense and away from the wing t. It worked somewhat against Ravenwood but with only a couple weeks to practice it we kept stalling out after a couple first downs. That also has a lot to do with Ravenwood. We have to play solid run defense up the middle which has been hard for us this year. So far we have been unable to consistently stop the inside run. When #45 and #23 are able to play defense it really strengthens it. Problem is, to much defense gets them tired on offense.

May come down to if they care or not. Sometimes it looks like a lot of the younger kids are just going through the motion just to get to next year. It's hard to win with 7 seniors seeing playing time.

Did not know that they had switched from their wing "O"; they were in wing when we played game # 1. We were fortunate to win.

What has happened to them? They have always run that stuff!, and they looked pretty good week # 1

  Don't they have Aric (former HC and the big wing guy) on staff. When he was there before as HC..........they were very slick with that offense; In fact; we  copied some of the jet stuff at Beech. It was our big play when we beat Columbia for stste title.

He was our HC here at Beech a few years back; we ran mostly "I" when he was here before........if I remember correctly.

 

Go Bucs.............beat the Borros.

Aric wasn't the reason why it worked; it worked because they had Wes Elrod on staff. Had they not run off Dewayne Alexander, WC would have been a force to reckon with, but I digress

They left the wing t after the Franklin debacle.Yes coach Aric is the offensive line coach. I know he was a HC here a few years ago but that's all I know.

WC needs a change, been the same people around the program for a long time.  Administration may be part of the issue as well.  Dedman seems to be a nice guy but I hear there is not much structure or discipline.  I agree and don't think anyone is thinking region or state championship but being competitive is another issue.  I don't wish any bad will to Dedman as he has never been anything but nice to me but those kids deserve better.  And if you have seen them play and the athletes they have you would think they should be better, they definitely pass the eye test.  Be interesting to see what happens but my guess is no changes coming at WC.

I played under Coach Dedman, he is a great man and a great coach. He inherited a horrible team that coach Aric left behind in his first couple of years. Then had a really good year after some players developed in his system. He had a bad playoff draw with a very good 2012 team that had to go to Brentwood as a 7 seed. (The Beech Loss killed us). The difference between now and then is that Roundtree has been the only decent QB to come through the program in his time as Head Coach. They haven't really been able to throw it so, everyone stacks the box against them. It's hard to win when everyone know what you're going to do.

    • 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.
