Moore Co school board decided not to give Coach Slatten tenure...  that is sad as he has done wonders with the girls basketball program..  Those board members have no clue about the everyday happenings within a basketball program or any athletic program as a whole.. 

Does anyone know how long Slatten was at Moore County?

With the new tenure law, you have to be recommended for tenure for 2 straight years. The law went into effect 2 years ago I think, and he fell under the new guidelines. Supposedly, they have board members down there that are saying that they will never give anyone tenure under this new law. I think that he was a "4" OR "5" level teacher and because of it he had to go before the board, but if he wouldnt have been as good a teacher he wouldnt have had to go before the board and it would have been a mute point. Makes no sense they way that our teachers and coaches are done when it comes to their teaching positions.

If he is a 4 or 5, why would he have to go before the board. 5 is the best you can get. This makes no sense.

Basically, the new law that went into effect in 2011 says when a teacher has been employed for 5 years and they score 4-5's on evaluations for 2 consecutive years, they must be recommended for tenure by the superintendent. When they are recommended by the super,  the board has to vote whether to grant it or not. If they vote it down they cannot rehire that teacher. It happened to Coach Slatten and Coach Austin the former Football coach.

If I were a teacher, there would be no incentive to score a 4 or a 5 then.  I'd have a better chance to keep my job by being a 2 or 3 if they are just going to vote you out.  What happened to rewarding people who do well in their jobs?  Moore County is the only county I've heard of this happening though.

    • 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.
