Rumor has it Macon will be joining up with RBS this season.

Macon had plenty of time to prepare for this transition before the coaches leaving after wonder boy graduated.  They knew months ago.  Now sadly the misfits at the school board and superintendent have left the kids in the dark and don't know when summer practice begins.  There was no lift-a-thon, coaches/players/ parents meeting, one of the most ridiculous spring practices ever coordinated and only 5 short days.  Its obvious our leaders in the county don't have organizational skills and should be replaced.

The kids deserve more than this.  I hope the kids pull together and make the best out of the season because I personally see alot of potential from these young men.

So what happen? Why did everybody just leave like that? Budget cuts or something?

Awful lot of guess work flying around now that the coaches have left. I don't fault any of them, as they did what they felt best for them and their family.  Assuming that Wilson left just because their stud is gone is lazy and wrong. My suggestion is look at what the whole situation is/was.  Macon is a 4A school, if I'm not mistaken. And if you've went to a game, you'll see what, maybe 40 kids on the team? If even that many? The reality is that Macon's athletes roaming the halls aren't playing football.  And that isn't a coaching thing, it's a community/society thing. A 4A school should have at minimum, 50-60 kids playing football. Go up to the field house in the summer and see how many kids are in there lifting weights, being committed to getting better/stronger. I'm guessing tumbleweeds might be blowing through. This generation of kids just aren't into it like the good ol' boys used to be. Other sports don't have to have the numbers football does, and when you see declining numbers year after year, your dang right it affects how coaches might consider other offers. 

I wish all the coaches that accepted other offers the best of luck, and I think Shoulders will do the best he can with what he's got to work with. He's got the knowledge, just like Wilson does/did, and I'm sure he'll be a good representative of Macon Co. and it's program.  Macon gets talent in runs, and there's not a lot special coming through in the next couple of years, so hang in there fans and enjoy seeing your friends on friday nights. But don't get caught up in rumor and guess work and think bad of those that left.  I guess they just thought it was time for a change, which is normal and every program goes through it in all sports, so good luck to all and if you have any 6'3 270 kids laying around, get them in some pads!

You are right for the most part but many boys want to play or try different sports and football is so demanding year-round that they don't wanna commit ! Maybe this coach can learn how to balance it better??

That says exactly why your coaches left. No commitment from players sounds like. It’s sad that kids are this way now days. Too many other things to do like video games etc

You're totally correct. Football is demanding of time and effort. And I would encourage all kids to play as many sports as possible. But there are enough kids that don't play any sports that tell me there's something extra going on  in Lafayette. 

To be competitive in football, in small towns like Macon, you have to squeeze every ounce of effort, sweat and blood out of every single body you can get to show up. But if nobody shows up, expectations might need to be kicked in the shins a little bit.

    • 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.
    • 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.
