Erick Baird. Finished 2nd against White Co in district championship, hosted a region game at WC for first time in 35+ years. 2010-11 season I think. I think she can be a good coach, but she needs "basketball" assistant coaches to help her game plan and help teach defense. One person cannot do it alone in AAA basketball.

Baird did a much better job up there than he got credit for IMO. Worked hard on his feeder program and was competitive almost every year going up against White County, the Odom teams at Cookeville, and  Cumberland after Miller came in. I used to see him  every Saturday and Sunday at a gym somewhere coaching or watching a WC travel ball team in the spring.

True, talent and that "want" to get better during off season. The county is 50 years behind everyone else. It's the mentality of parents and kids alike there. There are some good kids there, but they stay the same through the years. You have to experience WC to understand WC. Outsiders have no clue. It's about the time and effort these girls put in, I know all the other teams have girls playing constantly in AAU (TN Rush, Flight) and working with individual trainers, so yes, even the most average player will be better than a "seasonal" player, who works only during the season.

    • 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.
