he still is a good coach and Milan is on the come up. Lots of young players there and in their middle school.

Roster has been dwindling over last several weeks.   Coach Chatman is a Tomcat and will have them ready to go with a full roster very soon.

My guess would be that the roster was dwindling because the players could not take Coach Simmons intensity and demand to work hard.  So what does admin do, fire the one guy who will hold them accounta

If it is true that Simmons was let go because of a dwindling roster over the last few weeks, my question would be exactly WHY was the roster dwindling?

My guess would be that the roster was dwindling because the players could not take Coach Simmons intensity and demand to work hard.  So what does admin do, fire the one guy who will hold them accountable in their life and show them that when things in life get to hard to just quit and if enough of you will quit then we will just fire the coach so you can come back and still play. It will be an absolute embarrassment if they let the kids that quit come back and play after a coaching change, if the reason they quit was because he pushed them to be their best. I have watched Coach Simmons from a distance and I know he is a good coach.  You don't do what he did at USJ and make the second round of the Double A region at Haywood if he wasn't able to coach. To me this sounds like the new culture issue that society is trying to tell these kids that if you don't like something just complain and quit and we will make it easier on you so everyone can get a trophy. 

Now, if there are other reasons for his firing that they haven't put in their press release then I will resend the comments above and apologize, but to me this is nothing more than the Administrators not backing their head coach and allowing the kids to get their way because they are too soft and don't want to be pushed.  #rantover

I don't have any first hand knowledge as to the reasons why Coach Simmons was relieved of his coaching duties.  But from what little I know, I would say you are absolutely correct, and as embarrassing as it will be,  I can assure you that all of the players who quit will be let back on the team.  This situation reminds me a lot of what Humboldt did to their football coach, Dan Bland, a few years ago.

Rosters dwindle for one reason. Kids are leaving the program. Why? Only the kids can answer that question.

In my experience as a player and a coach. Kids quit due to outside obligations, want to specialize in one sport or other activity, or don't like the coach (being held accountable or treatment)

When I played we had kids walking our halls that were better players than me but they didn't want to come to practice or be coached. 

So I would theorize that either the kids didn't like the structure or treatment they were getting from the coach.

This brings an entire new element into the conversation. So he was relieved for his conduct. then why don't the school system say that instead of we don't have a lot of freshman playing and some guys quit the team. Big difference.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
