Who will be the next coach at GCA?

Sure will. Just not going to let you or anybody else keep stirring a pot because you got a distaste for our school. Ed wanted to get in a shot, so I returned the favor.  You can go on and on trying to justify, but you seem like a well educated and respected guy and know kids even players read this stuff so why keep on about it?  I don't know if it's true or not and I know rumors fly around just like the one I heard, but it cuts both ways.  The truth is you want to stick it to USJ anytime you can because of your well documented history.  Ed wants to because of the rivalry factor. So if you really care about kids and not just your Scotts Hill kids, cool the rumor mill because it's time to move on.

 

Not stirring any pots. This thread is about GCA and their search for a coach...a position for which your coach applied. Try and take the moral high ground all you like by accosting BigEdMo or myself, but we're just discussing what's out there as common knowledge, not on USJ's thread posting every day trying to unsettle you or USJ's kids. For you to call BEM out for "gossip", then knowingly post an untruth about TCA's coach in order to retaliate just shows your character, and I would not have posted on the matter again without your false accusation.

appears its gonna b a long long year int eh new district for this team

 

Booger just sayin :popcorneater:

You may be correct. However, I can guarantee you we will be better than last year. That may not be good enough. We'll just have to see. We have to replace a couple of receivers, a couple role players and two O-linemen. We have that covered. Everyone else is back, more experienced, bigger, faster, stronger, better. We'll show up and fight....that I can promise. Just because we don't yet have a HC on-site doesn't mean that we don't have gifted assistants that are committed to our kids and the improvement of this football program. The kids love and trust the guys that are onboard. The guys are working hard in the weight room. We also have the very best full-time athletic trainer in the area. We may struggle, because we haven't had the opportunity to add a handful of stellar athletes like the Webbs and NDs. We may be just fine. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new coaching staff can do with a fine group of student athletes.

maybe its in the cards for yall to get a HC in place by August

 

now why is it the opportunity to add stellar athletes has passed GCA by

 

First, we are a Baptist affiliated school....we don't play cards....that we'll admit to. :)

 

Unless I don't understand the TSSAA rules (that is entirely possible,) the only ones that can transfer in AND play this year are either from far away (that's not happening,) or 8th graders (they can't help us this year.) It also helps to have an endowment fund to help pay for athletes that can't pay for themselves, which we do not yet. The other more established private school programs up here and down your way have a head start on us in that regard. The next couple of years, we will be playing catch-up. That doesn't mean we won't field a competitive team this year. I believe we absolutely will....with kids that have grown up GCA Rams.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
