Going to have to look at people that have done it before. 

Agreed 100%.  Find a coach down in the lower classifications that has had great success that is willing to step up to 6A ball.  This is exactly what Oakland did when they got Creasy from Trousdale County where I believe he had two state championships under his belt.

They might want to start by looking in Tennessee instead of Kentucky. They need someone familiar with the culture of Rutherford County. Lots of things to overcome to fix this one. It could take a little time. Starts with admin... nothing else matters if they don't commit.

Creasy's predecessor also came from the lower levels. Creasy is no doubt a great coach , but McDaniel laid the groundwork for Oakland to have staying power as an elite program for a long time. Creasy has improved upon it

Copley had coached on some really good Centennial teams, so he wasn't a newcomer to the area. Everything I've seen and heard about the administration leads me to believe that they  are committed to fielding a winning program

I did not realize he spent time in Middle Tennessee before he came over.... Why are they down to 30 kids?

Siegel was already pretty bad before Copley took over. He ran a pretty tight ship from what I hear so  sure that thinned their numbers as well. Their mbers were pretty low all 3 years from what I remember

They are going to have to upgrade facilities as well. Not saying they are bad but with Blackman getting new field, riverdale new field house and weight room, Oakland has an indoor facility. Rock vale everything new. What does Siegel have. End of the day you have to draw kids to your school. N not having a winning record since 2013 is not going do it.

I've said it over and over; besides leadership, Siegel's biggest problem is the big red monster 3 miles away. When a nearby school has a indoor facility, nice weight room, jumbtron & field turf to go along with tradition, you have to get the right guy, change the culture and get everyone to buy into a grassroots effort. How many elite players at Siegel have moved across Memorial just to go to Oakland?

    • 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.
