i sure like the sound of winning. i got a question. what good teams dont beat bad teams? last time i checked a coachs job is to beat the teams on his schedule. something we aint done in a long time here at lebanon.

Yes...I think he would have a good chance to win at Lebanon. He will get kids out that are not playing or going to other schools.

Lots of info came out today.

 

They have had between 70-80 applicants for the job. With about 10 of them being current or former head coaches. The rest with assistant experience.

 

They have 2 interviews scheduled for Friday and are expecting to interview at least 6 to 8 before making a decision. That they aren't in a rush but would prefer to have somebody in place when they come back from Christmas break.

 

They have the schedule all filled out except for one game and they are close to a 2-game deal with Trousdale County for that last spot which would be the first game of the season.  But here are the 9 opponents they currently have lined up.

 

Mt. Juliet

Wilson Central

Hendersonville

Rossview

Station Camp

Lavergne

Coffee County

McGavock

Antioch

 

That is a very manageable schedule for the new coach to walk into in my opinion. You are probably looking at winning more games if nothing else just because of the schedule.

The two Metro Nashville teams below Coffee County on the list.

So you are already counting as a win a McGavock team that beat you 29-0 having only 3 starters returning on offense this year. Yeah OK.

 

Also, Antioch dropped 32 on you.

 

Only the coach is changing. The players remain. Problems are WAY deeper than the coaching office.

Lebanon has struggled to beat traditionally bad teams. To expect 4 to 6 wins in year one with a new coach is absurd. If you win 2-3 games you should be happy and be competitive in the rest. On top of just being competitive hoping that the product on the field is better so you can have the expectations for the future. I could totally understand if lebanon was a powerhouse, but let's be real they are not and have not been able to play with the big boys since the 90s. If Gentry gets the job give him a chance...don't have the crazy goals in the beginning. Building a program back is a process and a process takes much longer than 2-3 years.

    • 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.
