Is there a reason he did not apply?

I don't know what they were, but I am sure that he had his reasons.  Not anybody's business unless he decides to talk about it.  Eddie and his family are good people and close friends.  Not a question I am going to ask.

Who else is Outsiders? 

Wes Jones eliminated? 

Keeping in house seemed like the right answer. However, does not seem like that guy is in the room or applied, if it is taking this long.

Hammonds got the head coaching position, he should be thankful for the quillens private meeting with Starnes about a new press box

Hammonds definitely should be thankful for that meeting, because he was NOT the most qualified candidate for the head coach position at GHS. Just hope that same $$ can win football games. Sounds like everyone who didn’t get the job should sit back and say “Thank You” Because they’ve got quite a show to watch unfold now.

Who do you believe the most qualified person for the job that actually applied was?

Eddie and his family are Definitely good people HTV.  Heck of a Guy, weight room trainer, and football coach.  He reminds me a lot of Pruitt at UT

I’d argue the case that he was possibly the best hire in house or out 

Wasn’t it Hammond’s making the defense calls/adjustments behind the seems in the end anyhow???    Does anyone know How long has Hammonds been around/involved in Football?  Doesn’t he have more experience overall then Spradlin???

They both started the same time at Greeneville then Hammonds quit 2 years ago cause he was tired of the administration and thought he was gonna get the head coaching job at Gat-Pit but didn’t even get an interview

Thrn came back as a position coach who didn’t even show up for AM or PM workouts during spring training last year and who also threatened to quit before the head coaching position came open this year

Hammonds was a former RB for Cocke Co and then played RB at Emory and Henry.  He started coaching at Greeneville in 2005 as a OLB coach and also helped with RB's when it was offensive periods.  Worked his way up to D coordinator under Ballard before he left two years ago to coach at GP under his relative and Legendary Coach Benny Hammonds thinking he would get the head job when Benny retired that next year.  That job went to Derrick Rang

Don't know about the rest of your statement but your not correct about them starting at the same time.  Hammonds started coaching at Greeneville on 05 and Spradlen started in 07 as the DB's Coach

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
