So you appear to be somewhat in the know, who all got an interview that you may be aware of and have all the interviewed rapped up?  I had heard that interviews were through last weekend. Any updates?  

It looks like that have hired from within. Just waiting on the official announcement.

Alot of times in these situations the kids in the program have somewhat of an influence. Several factors that probably come in to play on this hire.  The kids were probably pushing for the in-house guy because that relationship was already built and hes a likable guy from what I've heard.  The administration don't have to find the new guy a spot in the building, he already has one, and if there are any open teaching spots that will give Coach Owensby a spot or two to bring people in that maybe hes comfortable working with.  As previously mentioned the current Principle is on his way out the door and could probably care less at this point because its all a gamble anyway, just because someone was good somewhere else doesn't mean they will be good at another and so on. I think maybe one of the biggest factors that may have played out as in any new hire is had they hired outside there is  no guarantee that the new guy would have wanted any of the current staff to help and at least not in the roles they were used /or the current staff wouldn't have wanted to work for a outsider so to speak and the school probably felt it was to big of a risk to loose two or three teacher/coaches and have to go through the trouble of replacing good teachers.  Remember education first in the eyes of the Administration as it should be.  At the end of the day they went with the safe hire in the eye of the administration. Good luck to Coach Owensby and the kids in that program.

    • 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.
