I've always been brutally honest, and never cared who I make mad so here we go! I WAS WRONG! BRING CASEY TATE BACK! 4 more games and this season is over and if Evan wants to play somewhere else he can.play calling sucks, what a joke! Another reminder why I hate Grundy County. Call Mr mystic Nunley. I said 3-7 last year and 2-8 this year. Not taking anything from cannon county they looked awesome tonight. We got out coached and that's

the bottom line.

You would think there would have to be a legitimate reason to fire the coach 30 days before the start of the season.  The sad reality though, is this is just Grundy County.  Coach Smith was hired by the former DOS and a 10 team hiring committee last spring.   At the end of last school year, the school board ran off the DOS, put their hand picked person in as the DOS, and hired there hand picked AD.  The new AD has no college degree, has never been a teacher or an administrator in the school system, and was a constant figure behind the scenes the last few years doing everything possible to destroy the DOS and bring the entire school system down with it, if that is what he had to do in order to get rid of her.  Many members on the school board are no better.  Members on the school board would much rather see there own agendas followed and destroy anyone who disagrees with them, even if it means they destroy the sports programs and the school system in the process.  Several members on the school board can not spell education or athletics, yet they try to micromanage both of them.  The reason given for firing Coach Smith was the fields were not cut good enough, the locker room was not clean enough, and he did not want to put South Pitt and Marion County back on the schedule until he got the program to a point where they could compete with them.  The real reason they fired Coach Smith is because the former DOS hired him and they wanted someone else.  In there great wisdom, they hired a coach that has very little, if any high school coaching experience.  Nothing against the new coach, he was a great player.  However, being a great player does not make you a good coach and certainly does not make you a good head coach if you have very little coaching experience.   Becoming a great coach takes time, you have to learn how to lead 40+ young men and have many other responsibilities other than just football fundamentals and Xs and 0s.  Part of the learning process is making mistakes and learning from them.   I don't think you can truly evaluate what a coach is doing with his program until after 3 years, but watching them play this year, they have gotten worse each game instead of better.  From what I am hearing, there are going to be several kids moving to other schools next year, and they are dropping three teams they could compete with and picking up three teams that will beat their brains in.  They will be lucky if they win a single game next year.  The same people that put this coach in his position will be some of the first to turn on him, that is what they do.   The bottom line is that until Grundy County decides to elect school board officials that can put there differences aside and do what is best for the students in the school system, not only the football program is doomed but so is every other sports program and the school system itself.

I don't have a dog in the race but if a coach gets fired 30 days before kick off there must be a reason. So the new coach you think would be cut a little slack. Just my opinion like I said just wish the boys good luck!

I’ve not said a thing about the new Coach, and wish him the best!

    • 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.
