You are saying that he may have told his younger players, "sorry guys we don't have room for you on this trip, you will be staying home for this one"  That would be about the dumbest thing a coach could possibly do, especially if he wants any of them to come back out for the team next year.  That's like saying, "Hey boys, thanks for all the blood, sweat and tears and for playing scout team all year, but this is a playoff game and we don't need you guys cause you can't help us anyway"  c'mon man! That's ridiculous.  Everyone of those kids that got left home would go play for Murvil, ha ha.

 

Kind of a darned if you do darned if you don't... I don't know if he did or did not, but everyone including me thiks it is crazy to send schools with a 1-9  or 2-8 record across the state to play a 10-0 just for the sake of playing. This trip has to cost upwards of 4-5k and for what benefit to the school? So you can loose money and possibly get whooped pretty handily?  I am simply looking at it like a lot of schools and school board members probably are. Can we save money anywhere and still get our team there and back safely.

Is this one of the minivans?  I'm thinking there may be more to this sitchee-ation than just trying to save money.

 

It had nothing to do with saving money....the GovClub takes care of all funding issues.  My comment said "they are taking the ones that wanted to go"....no one is being left behind that wanted to go.

Makes me wonder how many coaches may miss the trip because they don't want to go either. Odd situation but times are changing. I'd like to see the LA boys play their rears off. Edited by strongx

Seems crazy to me that players that worked out all winter, and practiced in the heat since July,  just decided it is not important enough to them to even want to go.  Even if you're not going to play, you go and support your teammates.   Just hard for me to believe that there's guys on a high school football team that "just don't wanna go". I think there's more to it.

I would want to just to get out of school early.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
