Totally agree! If they want to be competitive they are going to have to pay $$$$$!!

I miss the days when Maryville played Loudon. When I was at Maryville back in the seventies that was a tough game always and having played in those series back then you could have never told me I would see the day when Loudon Football would be in this kind of mess. Since then the town of Maryville took off and grew like a weed and surpassed all those smaller schools but it was much tougher to get into the playoffs back then with only three classes and eight teams picked to go into the playoff's.

The OT game at Everett in 75' was an incredible game! Loudon went on to win back to back state titles!! I think Maryville won the regular season game that year! Two great teams!

Yep we won in four overtimes at Maryville that year 17-14 and lost in two overtimes at Everett. That was Barney's last high school football game.

Well Harig interviewed Thursday! After being there for over 15 years not real sure why he even had to? Hopefully they will announce him HC on Monday! Go Redskins!

What seemed to be a promising announcement for a Head Coach has been pushed back again. Runor has it, that they pushed it back for another coach to interview. Not sure who the next interview is, but for them to continue to push it back makes me wonder if they are trying to find someone other than Harig??

 

Cardwell from Boyd is also in the running for this job. Its his if he wants it.

It should be, but as mentioned before if rumor is correct, they have another interview today. If that is true, it would be hard to announce it like most schools normally do, with the new head coach coming in to talk with the players, unless the interview today is who they plan to go with. In that case it would not be Harig.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
