McKamey resigns at Clinton

If I had my guess Mr McCamey has had a very successful career as a contractor and may not need all this stress in his life coaching football being evaluated every week by couch potatoes in the stands and on Coach T.  No one coaches forever and most schools out there usually have a coach for just a very few years and things change. I'm pretty sure he came to Clinton with great intentions but things just didn't work out as planned and you know, that's usually the case in 95% of the coaching jobs out there.

I'd agree with you, but I think he still has the desire to coach. The problem is people want instant gratification and not willing to wait, rebuilding takes a while. It took him 4 or 5 years at grace to get it turned around over there.

Who's on the short list? I forgot the names I was told but I heard an Oak Ridge coach, an Anderson County coach, a Fulton Coach and some college coach?  I have never kept up with Clinton but I understand they have a huge indoor facility that should attract a lot of folks 

The indoor facility is nice but it's not nearly as big as it's made out to be. Honestly it's actually pretty small.   I dont think the OC at Anderson County would leave to go back to Clinton. He has a pretty good thing going right now.

Please elaborate? 

Well one of the backdoor things he did at Clinton that he got caught at was he had two players that were still enrolled at Campbell Co. practice at Clinton during spring practice. That does not fly anywhere, not even in Knox County. I don't think even Matt Lowe would try and get away with that, but you never know.

Clinton is just gonna have to find a diamond in the rough type of coach and hopefully get lucky in whoever it is. I don’t see any good established coaches wanting to take on the dumpster fire there that has been going on for years. For their fans like 92Dragon, I hope I’m wrong. The AC OC sounds like he could be a good coach, but not sure he’d wanna take that job on or not. I guess we’ll see.

    • 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.
