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?

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
