Wonder any chance that current Shelbyville coach Jessica Southern would want to return home to Franklin County next year?  Any names being thrown around in Winchester.

The rumors that I have heard of are Mike Holt, the boys assistant, or the lady that is coaching the girls team at Dechard Elementary. Again, just rumors who knows.

Holt maybe, but I doubt they would hire an Elementary School Coach for this position but you never know.. I still would not be surprised if Coach Southerns name is in the mix.

The elementary coach's name is Amber George. She is a former assistant at Sewanee. It wouldn't be a smart move on her part especially since I believe she was kind of screwed over with the softball spot at FC before, that's why Holt has it right now.

Whoever takes it will be behind the 8-ball. Best kid in the county left Frankiln County for Huntland last year. Program has had players quit each year and will be a long hard fix. I see them no better than 5th next year, they lost district games by 40 points last year and they lose 6 seniors, sad to see how bad it has become.

I don’t mean to kick a coach when they are down, but FC has gotten progressively worse the past 3-4 years. This year looked like the girls flat out quit on him. Can’t see Southern or any other coach who has any kind of team returning making the jump to FC. Holt is probably their best option. Based on his Motlow days, his demeanor probably suits the girls too.

If FC hires Holt then they can expect the same they have gotten with the boys.  No discipline and  losing season.  

I disagree FC has gotten progressively worse, we have had some good games and some bad and had problems scoring, but we have had a winning record for the girls and been to regionals every year.  Until FC stops hiring coaches based on who they are and who their friends are, they will continue to go down the ranks in every sport. 

FC atheltic department and director of schools only care about giving their friends jobs.

Coach Holt's demeanor is to constantly tell the kids in very colorful language how terrible they are and how good he is.

LOL@best kid in the county - I prefer to have kids on a team that are coachable and not kids whose Mom and Dad tell them they are too good for these high school coaches.  Those "best kids" are welcome to leave.

I agree with you being a lifelong FC fan and resident.  I do think Coach Holt would be a good hire for the program as you have stated they will be a top four team in district and have gone to region every year.  I am still confused on Coach Helton being fired for taking a team to region?  Am I missing something

I do think our rebels would be much better had we kept some of the girls that went to Huntland.

Coach Holt would be a terrible hire for FC.  He has done nothing short of ruining our boys program.  I have played for him and have had some of my children play for him and he is not a good coach. 

Coach Holt is a big buddy of Don Rhoton who is the athletic director of FCHS. Chris Guess is the father of a senior, works for the Sheriff's dept and a big buddy of our AD.  Neither Coach Holt nor Guess like the Heltons (Holt out of jealousy and Guess because his daughter didn't get as much playing time and starts as he wanted).  This is why the Heltons were fired - the AD wanted to fire him last year and talked about it but he had a 22 win season and couldn't justify the firing.  This year they only won 14 games ( I think, may have bee 13) and so now he feels he can justify the firing.

You didn't miss anything, its just the same ole politcs that has haunted FCHS for years.  Its all about who your buddies are, they could care less about building programs good for the kids.

    • 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.
