1.) PC will never fall into that kind of slide.

2.) Glencliff's problems are demographics not coaching

Glencliff isn't a good team but they're moving in the right direction 

That is not a certainty. I never thought Glencliff would either.

Pearl-Cohn will never become Glencliff.  The school’s cheerleading coach could become the head football coach and I’d say it’s a safe bet that PC would never fall to that level of obscurity.  

Never say never. I never thought Glencliff would be like this. Whites Creeks, Hunters Lane , Maplewood  and Mcgavock have all had very good teams. Never underestimate metro schools decisions to impact a program

It's a fact.  The tuba section from the Pearl-Cohn band would start at Glencliff.  

Comments like that you should be banned from coacht. Your user name should be changed to whatajerkiam. Those boys are someone's kids and no place on coacht should kids be embarrassed by people like you.

It's as close to a certainty as it can be. Glencliff has never been good in a historical context. They only had 2 good seasons under Jim Wilson. 2 of the best coaches metro has had coached/ are coaching at Pearl

 

All it would take is a developer with pockets to start buying up the property around the school and putting up $$$ housing selling the proximity to "downtown and Nashville nightlife". You obviously have not lived here long enough to know what the Nations, Germantown and East Nasty were like before the "urban renewal'. 

Glencliff was a power in the 60's under Herschel Moore, late 80's under Broadbent and a couple years with Wilson.  Yall act like Pearl was always great. Pearl Cohn was open for 12 years before they were any good. It didn't happen until they put the "arts Magnet" over there so John Henderson could go to PC while living in the McGavock zone. You had to take something they offered that your zoned school didn't. Don't remember PC wanting Wheeler Henderson to come with him.

PC built a tradition that is strong, but nothing is forever. Creek had strong teams for 25 years with terrible facilities. Now they are a 2A school.

Pearl would beat Glencliff’s 1999 team with CJ Scott and CJ Johnson as badly as they wanted to.  It would be a massacre.  
 

This may be the best Pearl team since their 1997 team.  They’ve taken on all comers.  
 

I would love to see a hypothetical matchup between Pearl-Cohn and Oakland this year.  I know most years Oakland would probably beat them convincingly but this year I think it would be a great battle.

I've lived in Middle Tennessee all my life, and I agree that the demographic could change quickly but so far it hasn't. I hope it does change 

Pearl has had a pretty good run over the last 30 years, could they slide into mediocrity? Sure, but aside from a few bad years, they didn't miss much of a beat transitioning from Fitz to Brunetti

I've always wanted Oakland to play Pearl, hopefully it happens soon.  Nothing but respect for PC, they'll anybody anywhere anytime

You are absolutely correct that MNPS could basically screw up a one car funeral!  When Tony leaves PC they will have a difficult time replacing him.

One of the major issues with Glencliff is that there are 48+ various languages other than English that are spoken in the home of Glencliff students.  The student body is typically made of up first generation immigrants that did now grow up participating in athletics.  Most of the Glencliff student body goes to work immediately after school as work and making money to help ones family is a valued asset.  Yes, with a great principal that wanted to win in football Glencliff could hire a great coaching staff that would theoretically go out and recruit enough talent (yes, I said it and it’s the truth) to become competitive.

I believe his successor is the head coach of another Metro program.  

MNPS tend to hire from within!  How long has it been since MNPS actually did anything past posting job openings on a website to hire coaches?  Great coaches are difficult to both find and hire.  When you fail to actively recruit those great coaches the chances are very slim that one of them will phone MNPS and inquire about a job.

    • 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.
