DB could be a football school again with the right hire, folks like a winner hence the overwhelming support for the band.

Yep,if DB had what Maryville has had in football for the past several years,I can't imagine Friday nights in Kingsport.J Fred would probably have to  look more like Neyland stadium to hold all the people.

DB went out of the area to get themselves a new boys basketball coach last year and it's worked out pretty well for them so far. My guess is they'll do the same to find a new football coach. Ballard isn't going to leave Greeneville. He's building something special there and his son is just a junior.

Out of the area? He went to high school at... Greeneville.  Then was at Jefferson County.  Not very far out of the area.

Agree it would be very tough this year because of Cades senior year but Kingsport's  pockets are plenty deep enough .It just depends on what their spending money for.They waste millions of dollars up here .DB is a band school first without  question.

They aren't deeper than Scott Niswonger I can promise you that.  I heard this rumor a month ago about Clarks was leaving but it would take more than money to get Ballard to leave. (Ballard has built a program and gets paid very very well we will leave it at that)

D-B is going to call up Ballard and Scott Carter.  Shawn Witten has coveted this job for a long time and there are a couple of people on staff who might put in and get a look.  The administration is promising a "national search" and they certainly have the money and resources to pull someone from out of state with a nice resume if they want.  It'll be interesting to see where they go with this.

It would be hilarious if they listen to the fans and hire Gerald Sensabaugh.  He's available now, I hear.

Congrats to Coach Clark on riding off into the sunset after a great career.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
