Someone has unrealistic expectations. 8-2 in the region in two seasons. Scheduling could have been better/easier and the overall record would have been. Just seems like two years is a pretty short leash at a program that is far from great... and for this to happen on Monday following the last game tells me something has been in the works behind closed doors. 

From what my SC friends have told me....he brought everything onto himself

Might be the most accurate thing I've read on here. He needs to be the first one to go.

Unfortunately the kids in that county suffer from the "back in my day's " quagmire and egos that can't see past the river on each side. They should've built one high school along time ago and moved to

Smith County is like most small town teams. Talent goes in cycles, up and down, They always have a few very good players, but the key is developing the rest to maximize all they give you. The 2 that come to mind at SC that were good at that were Rankin and  Maynord.    

Well, at least we may see the end of the Wing helmets, uniforms, Dirty Birds stuff and the Hole can be the Hole again instead of the Owls Nest. I know, I know, I'm Old School, but never did like that stuff. But that's just me..

The kids like that’s stuff man lol

One of the coolest places to play IMO. Always loved going there and never noticed the walk afterwards:thumb:, even after cramping up my senior year!

I know some SC faithful were not happy when this hire was made. The ra ra new age to drum up excitement was a flop and turned some long time supporters away. 2 people on my list if I'm the one searching:

Hackett @ Watertown, and Dyer @ TC. Both grads from SC and both very knowledgable in the game. 1 still resides just down the road from the school. Selfishly, I'd want 1 to get it over the other. Heck, they both could go. 

It's a tough job to start with for sure, but there is talent in the pipeline and if you can establish a solid foundation, SC will be back before long. Maybe they will schedule TC again as well!

I agree. It would be an uphill climb to start but they don’t expect much right now either. Schedule some winnable games for the next couple years to get you through. There is talent there in the lower grades so by the time they get up to high school you would have your program and philosophy established and be ready to become competitive again with most teams you’re gonna face. It’s going to take a coach that knows the history and the fan base and be willing to work to get it done though.

I think Dyer at TC and Jackson at Oakland could be targets but doubt Jackson would leave Oakland for SC, Dyer it’s very possible 

I think Dyer would be a legit guess. I don’t see Jackson coming, I would think he’s looking to go bigger than SC. I don’t see Hackett going and that be his first Head Coach job. SC has put out several coaches that are coordinators or position coaches at other schools. Brady, Frye, Carter, Silcox, Clemons, Pope, Williams etc. There’s always Dickerson and Harville. Powell, the DC at SC now could be a candidate. Can’t go without mentioning the Gruden of Carthage, Chuck Gentry lol. I think one of these will end up being named in the end but who knows there may be a dark horse out there no one is thinking about also.

Owls Nest?  The only thing in a nest is eggs and/or  bird crap.

I know, I'm out of date and out of tune....  evidently

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
