They went through the motions and then both dropped the litigation before it was ruled on and they agreed to meet in front of the board of control on Tuesday. Wow.

Where is ol guard puller?! Def want to hear his no doubter case all over again.. Just needling and don’t mean any harm I promise.. he is obviously 18 times smarter than me... but in all seriousness how is it nobody has brought up the kid in question here also skipping out on his alternative school punishment for being caught with a left handed cig at previous school and nothing ever more coming of it? Not gossiping here at all, these are facts known at previous school by coaches and admin.   Just not sure how those KEY adults at FC have been shouting from the roof tops on how they were going to win this legal smegal matter and then run it up in the post season... seems like a private chambers talk with the local judge changed that tune faster than hiccups.. 

Well well well

Did anyone actually read todays article in the Tennessean about the litigation being dropped and holding the appeal on Tuesday. Fayetteville isnt appealing the eligibility. They are appealing on the grounds of authority of the decision maker. Isnt that sort of an admission that they know the kid is actually ineligible?

No not really considering that the initial decision from the T$$AA was that he was eligible.  If the acting director has no authority to make that decision then they have a good case. If he does...then I guess they are SOL.

"Fayetteville's complaint to the Lincoln County chancery court included that the TSSAA's constitution and bylaws include "numerous provisions that require the TSSAA executive director to perform certain duties including the initiation of investigation, notification to the school that it is being investigated, evidence-gathering, conduction hearing and determination of whether a violation has occurred, and, if so, what penalties should be imposed."

The complaint stated that there is no provision by which Childress may delegate his duties."


Appealing his authority and not his eligibility. They know he does not live within the bus route of Fayetteville City High School and thus is ineligible. They just dont think the assistant  has any authority to make this ruling.

    • 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.
