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.

Coach Maynord Is about 5 Minutes for Cookeville High School. Great situation is about to hang up his whistle in few years.

Heard from my source that Smith Co thinks they have a shot at landing Gentry. SC must be stepping up!!

Would love have Chuck or Jimmy........but don't believe it .  But a phone call don't cost anything.

Hackett at Watertown - Brady at Lebanon - Dyer at TC - Shoulders at MC - Jackson at Oakland - Shoulders at MC - Loftis at (JC I think)  all would be on my list.

As a head coach why would anyone want to move down in classification unless you are in a horrible situation or you are going to be given a pay increase of around 25%?  Any coach worth their salt wants to coach against the very best teams available.  There is no fun or challenge in beating most every team on the schedule by 35+ points.

WHat is the difference in Classification have to do with it?  South Pittsburg v Whitwell or Coalfield v Greenback is the exact same as Maryville v Oakland.  It is very good football players playing against very good football players.  Also great coaching.  Sometimes, the small school atmosphere is better than the big city lights.  When Coalfield goes to Greenback tonite, someone in Coalfield will be responsible for turning out the lights in the town on their way out because Coalfield will be a ghost town from 6 pm until..........

    • 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.
