can u share some more info about the scrimmage

Forrest threw the ball well and had receivers make some plays downfield.  solid, physical running game and defense had some good takeaways. Impressed with Forrest's size. Forrest looked very sharp to me: very surprising that the coach would walk away from a promising team

that ssomething they will have this year for sure over previous year's. a passing game.  Coach Johns i;m sure doesnt feel like he is walking away from them as much as walking to his family. Speaks more to his quality of character if you ask me. He is turning over a solid team to someone - I see what you're saying tho

Dobbs is a great Coach.   He's a Kevin Creasy disciple and does things very similar.   He's big on facilities upkeep and the difference in Moore County's field after he took over was quickly noticeable.   I haven't heard anything about him being interested in the Forrest opening.    It would be an upgrade in facilities and roster size.   I'd assume a little more money also so who knows.   

Dobbs is a great guy. We miss him in TC.

im beginning to think stability is impossible here.  

i get that Forrest has been a place for guy to move up. 

Coleman goes to Summit, i think they made final 4 in 6a last year.    Keisky goes to Centennial and goes to the final 4 of  5A in his first season.  We've had some good guys. 

What made Johns different was that he was a local guy who seemed to want to stay. So when he leaves, I will be honest, something make me question whether it was due to fans, administration, players, etc. 

"for family" i mean no one is gonna question. so it's gonna die there

A lot of us in the 2A world can find it hard to keep a good coach for 5+ years. At least it seems they have a good history of picking a quality guy loyal or not. Best of luck in the search.

Problem is a winning coach is fine in this football world we live in until they have a bad season. Somehow 4 winning seasons is negated by the fith seasons 4-6 record. As a fanbase and leader you have to accept the good with the bad. You aren't gonna have the best team in football every year. But you can't guillotine a coach for a bad year. Also politics are a factor in alot of decisions and that's just a fact of the sad world we live in. If I'm not mistaken Redbanks coach is a casualty of this such practice. Look at his record this past season and was let go... odd wouldn't you think?

Odd indeed. How many years has your guy been at Meigs?

    • 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?
