Some names on another thread are being thrown around for our DC.  Thoughts?  Is Tidmore not coaching next year either?  So may need 2 coaches?  Also, if Vic decides its time to retire, then possibly 3 coaches.  That’s some big shoes to fill.  Personally I would like for Wes Stone to be given the chance, and also I would like to see the Tygard feller make the move to SP.  He would be in for the long haul.

PM, why in tarnation do you think the coach down under would be in for the long haul? What is his longest stop? Why would the next be any different? Point here is, willful habits are hard to change!

Because MOST assistant coaches move around until they reach the ultimate goal which in MOST cases is become head coach somewhere they know they can hang around for a while.  Everyone knows at NJ you are only employed as long as the “money” allows you to be.  I just think SP is a better fit.

As a long time fan and trying to be objective, Stone should be moved to OC and Grider as HC / DC. Stone has been proven a offensive guru, he has maybe the best football mind I have been around, ever. I know this may upset some but Vic is much better at calling the defense as opposed to offense. I’m gonna go ahead and say it, Vic has trouble in the big games. In his effort to out coach the opponents, he  sometimes changes what is working, thinking the other coach is about to shut it down, causing fans to question what he is doing. Don’t get me wrong we have the best coach anywhere, I just think he needs to delegate the offense to someone else. Grider is the GOAT, I’d just like to see him let someone else shoulder some responsibility. I will stand by for attacks now...

I guess Vic disagrees with your assessment, since he has posted for a DC on the TSSAA website.  So that leads me to believe that he has no confidence in any of your current coaches on the staff for that role.  I don't believe I know any of them so I wouldn't know how sharp any of those fellows are but if I were an assistant on that staff looking to move up, it would sure be a slap in the face not to be promoted from within.  Now, I suppose its possible none of them would have any desire to be in that high profile position with the scrutiny that comes with it, but to me if you don't have guys on staff that desire to move up, then you want to cut some fat all the way around.  Just my opinion.   I suspect with a program such as South Pitt with all the success they have had he had someone lined up and it fell through, that would be the only reason a place so successful would every post on a job board, usually the coach would have a short list of possibles when these types of situations arise and the general public usually never even see it anywhere until they hear someone already got the job.

This isn’t a possibility because Stone does not teach at SP or even in Marion County. Also the teaching position has to be filled for the next assistant coach. This isn’t college football where you can just name a guy a coordinator without it matching up with the school.

WS drives from Chattanooga daily for practice typically after it’s already started. Hire will be someone that is at the school full time that can fill both positions (teaching & coaching) and shoulder responsibilities throughout the week.

So what all teaching vacancies within the school do they have open or will be coming open?  So by what your saying the pool to choose from is going to be very small if they only have one of two spots that need to be filled, usually if a school wants you they can juggle some things around within reason to get the best coach and not just a coach that teaches x,y, z.

Tracy Malone was the head coach at whitwell and was NOT employed by Marion County Board of Education. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

    • 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.
