He was the best assistant on staff and one of the best line coaches in the state in my opinion. He might end up being a great head coach and take DB to the promise land, who knows. He wasn't my first choice but nothing is a sure thing. Who's to say an established top of the mountain head coach could just as well come in here and be a complete flop. Sometimes it's all about fit. I'll be behind Christian 100%.......until I'm not.

pee. ess.....I'm betin' he'll never mention my name unless he starts occasionally  going brain dead on the sidelines like ole Clark did.

If D-B has Champagne Taste but only have a Beer Budget then they should of came down to William Blount and grabbed Shad.

He would have settled for less pay to have an extra week of vacation during fall break every year. I'm sure DB could have afforded that.

You guys just don't understand how it works in Kingsport. I really don't think the money was tight. It was going to be Christian way before Clark ever announced his retirement. All the interviews was just a smoke screen to make it look like an actual coaching search. Oh I'm sure they got by cheaper naming Christian which made it a win, win. 

Let’s assume you are 100% correct in your assessment. Why do you think that was the case?

Kingsport has plenty of money and I'm sure could have got about anyone who applied for the job .... But It was Christian the whole time  ! 

Who knows but some National Search it was lol 

Cant wait for this New high school to open ... "New excitement " for football in Kingsport area (Colinial Heights 7th and 8th graders last year were no joke and Big Boys with some great talent )

It's not just one thing, there's several different reason's. Some people wanted a big name coach. A coach that's won something. Some wanted someone already in the club. A "team" player so to speak. The "club" has all the power so they picked Clarks replacement. I would say Clark had a strong voice in the pick also. The "club" had to make it look not so obvious. Their just not going to let a high profile coach come in here and upset the apple cart. Way to many ego's close to the program.

I’ve had my differences with WaCoJaCo but I must admit...he’s been right all along.

Surprising, I thought they might move away from the old staff, but Shively was brought to DB to be an assistant on Graham's staff. It will be interesting to see if anything will change. I won't lie, this hire is disappointing. However, I will be rooting for Coach Christian to succeed. Didn't Christian coach a game two years ago against Jeff Co. that DB lost?

    • 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?
