@GeneralForrest where do you think this team stacks up against the 15 and 16 teams? I would have to think that they are similar.

2019 is the most talented group to come through the school. That is why the coachT frustration was so high in 2017 and 2018. No where near the team results with the talent on hand. Five of this year's seniors were key contributors in 2016 as freshman.

Only knock on this year's team is the numbers. We literally have over a dozen kids walking the halls that would be playing, many would start, who left the program over the last 2 years. Coaches get an "A" for X's and O's at this point in 2019 but an "F"  for player recruitment and retention. Our orchestration department could use some pointers from the Greenback/ SP bunch.

Final thoughts. 

To get to this game tonight means something. It's the product of hard work for the last almost 12 months. But you dont get here to play. you get here to win. 

Now, i will quote th emost important coahc in the history of the state of Tennessee

General Neyland's 7 Maxims


1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win. 

2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - SCORE. 

3. If at first the game - or the breaks - go against you, don't let up... put on more steam. 

 

4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game. 

 

5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle... for this is the WINNING EDGE. 

 

6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made. 

 

7. Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 48 minutes.

    • 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.
