With the Smith Co Head Coaching  job opening up yesterday will Chuck Gentry leave Lebanon?  I know is a Smith Co graduate and still lives in Carthage. Im sure he is a target. 

Better chance to win at Smith County long term.  He has done a great job at Lebanon however.

Ive been digging with the Smith Co guys I know. He has been contacted for the opening. Thats all they know. And he has for sure done a great job at Lebanon. The only better pick for Smith Co Is Gary Rankin. And I do not see Rankin being interested at all. 

I can see Coach Maynord making a return trip to Smith County.  I think deep down he probably sees that the region he is in at Cookeville is almost insurmountable.  But he has done a great job at Cookeville.  He may even still live close to Smith County.  Not sure about that however.

If I'm not mistaken, Coach Maynord has never resided in SC. I believe he has always lived in Putnam Co., maybe in the Baxter area. I agree that Cookeville is in a tough Region but he has done a good job with them, they continue to make the playoffs year in and year out. I dont see him leaving CHS to return but it could happen.

Rankin has already been there and done that.  He was there BEFORE he went to R'dale.

Gentry has shown he will do well where ever he Coaches and would be a great fit at his home at Carthage.

Now the MAIN consideration, how is the MONEY at Carthage over Lebanon?  Is it enough more at Lebanon to justify the drive both ways every day?  How about the TIME it takes for the drives?  TIME is one thing neither school can buy the Coach.  How about wear and tear on his car?  Either school have a booster with a car dealership.........not that a loaner has ever been given to a coach to use.........for FREE.....

Gentry, I believe, still lives in Smith County. I could be wrong, though.

The money in Smith is peanuts compared to Wilson County, so there's that.

I heard of other issues that helped lead him to go to Cookeville, so they may also keep him from returning to Smith. 

But, I would make him and Josh Hackett tell me no.

Either of those guys would be an excellent choice. I'm afraid they're both in better positions at their current jobs though.

    • 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?
