Something needs to be considered. He was indeed under contract because he had not been in that district long enough to gain tenure. For him to take the new job and start immediately, Dresden would have to agree to release him from his current contract. If they don't agree to release him he can risk having his teaching license suspended or revoked. Doubt he would risk that. Since it is obvious Dresden released him and has no hard feelings can't understand why anyone else would either. I was in the same situation last year with my teaching job and did the same thing.

Not a kid for sure.  I understand the profession very well.  He is not a college coach who doesn't teach classes.  He is a high school coach who is a teacher first.  He will be leaving the administration searching for someone to teach his classes the rest of the year.  Most schools don't have back up teachers on hand and he did sign a year contract not an eight month contract.  I don't have a problem with him leaving to go coach somewhere else.  I believe most people in Dresden knew he wasn't going to stay after this year. Yes I know we won a state championship but he was loaded with talent whether anyone wants to admit it or not.

 

Dresden was indeed loaded with talent, and I can't say that the Lions wouldn't have won that championship with someone else any more than you could argue that they would have...the fact remains that Dresden and Rang won it together, and that he's moving on. If I were in your position I would hate to see him go, but if I were in his I'd do the same thing, and I'd expect that you would also.

He won a state championship and Dresden won a state championship. It's a win-win situation. Does it hurt to see him leave? Yes. But if Dresden people knew he is going to leave Dresden in the summer or after the 2017 season, then why would March 21st, 2017 be a big deal? There's about 6 weeks left in the school year, about more than half the class probably know by now whether they'll be pass the class that he teaches (if he teaches a legit class like Math or English). 

Gatlinburg-Pittman is probably a top 5-10 job in the state, simply because it is in Gatlinburg. Don't blame him and Dresden people should congratulate them.

    • 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.
