That Pruitt man is 2-0 against the Pirates....Jasper is excited for sure. Let’s see if they give him long enough to build them back up to competition status!

He put some fear in the kids when he talked to them today. Things were said that needed to be. Should see a different team next season. I kinda figured the name alone would draw attention but it seems there are some that have already contacted the school about moving. We'll see I guess

True, however the 2 SP teams he faced in 2004-2005 were likely 2 of the worst SP teams we’ve had in the last 20 years. It’s a little different this time around. 

2004 team was but the 2005 team was 10 - 2.  They lost to Jasper that year 13 - 12 at Jasper and lost in the Playoffs to FC 14 to 13.  FC lost to the eventual state champ TC County 28 to 21 the following week.

Hahahaha..... the ones that knew, kept quiet. We just watched the meltdown the boys down south were having thinking it was Ross.

Touché

I won't be on too much. I just followed the coaching search a little.

May get back on during spring practice.

A couple of things I like about Pruitt is he’s a old school kind of guy and he will flat tell little Billy’s dad and mom don’t be trying to kiss my butt, it’s not going to work! He don’t care what your last name is or where you live, you don’t give 100% and don’t know what you’re doin you will not start!

You'll hear plenty. Some wont like the hire simply because of what happened when he left. Not to downplay it any either. Serious stuff.

Must have cleared all that up because he is currently DC at Cape Coral High School. 
No such baggage with Pruitt. Great man. Great coach. Hiring him takes the stinger out of some of us in the south,  because of great respect for Coach Pruitt.

    • 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.
