Woodward had a losing record and left Antioch 4 yrs ago. Went to Brentwood, lost, and got fired. Should have never been rehired at Antioch, but was and went 3-8. Got fired again.

 

As for the "protest" most of those kids never went to a game and could care less. They were just being dramatic for the TV cameras. The kid talking on camera actually quit football. He had another agenda...

Finally a voice of truth. Thank you bleacher. I will take advantage of this time to join with you and contradict some more claims. The principal would never try to sabotage the football coach. She would never rip up a p.o. for jerseys. Certainly the football program was still in debt from the previous coach instead of having over 5 figures in the account. I assure you that she certainly did not then go to certain coaches of other sports and tell them to put together a wish list because she had money for them to spend.

So, what coach has had a winning record at Antioch recently? His record at Brentwood was because the coach before him knew he was going to be fired and made a two year schedule that even Gary Rankin could not win with. 

Antioch has made it's bed. Metro is in shambles

It's wrong. It is not right for any coach, absent some specific wrongdoing, to be fired on a principal's whim. That principal is only there because of my tax dollars. acoach stipends do not even begin to cover the time,sweat, and headaches that go with the job. The sole compensation is the sense of satisfaction of accomplishment for the kids.

 

Everybody is dancing around the elephant in the locker room. Woodward lost his job because he was white. And that is sad and sucks. Looks likis the new school chief did not know Metro does not have racial divides nowhere near deep as in Baltimore. At this rate, in 5 years, no one will be coaching in Metro unless they pass a certain "litmus" test.

Wish, I do, Own bed Antioch could make. New leadership, bad housekeepers, they are.

Then express your comment in a way that doesn't get you thrown off CoachT. Don't blame me for that. Better yet, under these circumstances, you tell me WHY this principal let this coach go after 1 yr on the job. I am open to other reasons....waiting

Going to try to respond to all the posts.

Bleacher what coach has had a winning record at Antioch, not just recently like Hogan said, but ever. I'll wait on that one. Most good coaches of the past have done well just being .500 and making playoffs which is what Woodward did. He left to go to Brentwood with a very heavy heart but thought it was better for his career. He then got railroaded by the admin there because they wanted their hero to return. Guess what that hero only succeeded because of the work Woodward put in. Before Woodward the previous coach did not do anything in the weight room. He didn't do anything to get the younger kids ready to play. And as a parting gift he left a brutal schedule.

Just the opposite I hope everyone realizes you are saying the opposite of what you really think.

Hogan and dirtywave right on.

Fan I really respect you and your opinion. I had a lot of fun with EN and PC. Hope your girls pull out a big win. The new director has mentioned multiple times metro needing a more diverse staff. Most people that he has personally hired have been of one race. To me that's not diverse. If he wants diversity start hiring Hispanics, Egyptians, Laotian's, Asians, etc. He has not done this. Metro kids deserve and need the best teachers and coaches possible. I don't care what race they are as long as they are the best.

Finally, whoever said in five years metro coaches will have to pass a certain litmus test, I hope you are wrong. Race should never be involved in anything to do with education. I've always taught and coached in areas that were economically disadvantaged and the majority of kids were not of my own race. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all kids. I would like to think those kids enjoyed being around me. A few probably didn't but that's because I made them work. I love my job. Very rarely have I ever felt like I was going to work. The great thing about kids is they just want someone to give them a little structure, a pat on the back when they succeed, a pat on the back when they struggle just to let them know you are there to help, and they don't care what color you are. To them it's the last thing on their minds. I wish as adults people kept that part of their inner child.

Alot of the decline in Antioch football has to do with the addition of cane ridge .... He wasn't fired cause he was white it wasn't even football related from what I was told by an in house employee.. you can't continue to go over your boss head to a board member when she tells you no and not think that would roll over well. It's always two sides of the story ....

    • 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.
