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.

    • 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.
