They have a short list. One in house guy and a couple ofclose by big names. One just across the river and one out of Memphis. I would be shocked if this is not over with very soon. 

The in house guy was Coach Pettigrew and he is our new coach. Guess I knew absolutely nothing of what I was talking about. Congrats big guy!!

Yep, you nailed it. You threw out all sorts of names, spoke of a ridiculous salary that was disproved by the newspaper, and they name Pettigrew. You should work as an investigative reporter. You were spot on lol

Bless you. That's all I can say.

So are the Milan faithful happy with hire or not??

Knowing who was interviewed and who applied there were people who would be considered a lot more qualified that could have been hired.  However, no one will care more than Teddy. He bleeds purple and the kids will respect him from day one. I think he will do fine. Might not be the home run hire a lot of people wanted but last time Milan hired an assistant as the head coach I would say it worked out pretty good.

This may seem odd because you are "sure" of your source, but I'd bet the farm on BPM and his knowledge of the program. If all the facts were laid bare, I figure he'd be closer than anyone to what really was/wasn't offered and to whom.

    • 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.
