Benson Napier named head coach at Coalfield. An all state lineman at Coalfield and 2014 graduate.  He walked on at UT before transferring to Tusculum. He was an assistant at Harriman before coming back to Coalfield and coached under the Henry brothers!

He would've been my first choice, it will be good to see him at the helm. Good hire !

Prayers from our GB family to the Coalfield community. Sad to see a family suffer so much loss in such a short time. May God give you all peace & strength to get through this. Congrats to the Napier “kid” for the HC position. I remember seeing him play when my oldest was still in middle school. I’m sure he will carry on the great tradition of Coalfield football and make the Henry’s proud!

Interesting hire to say the least.

He's a real smart guy, and I hope he will bring a tough brand of ball with him.  I heard Tusculum wanted to keep him on as graduate assistant so that tells you a little something.  I think it will be good choice.  I just worry about the defense because Jared was a good Defensive Coordinator.

Good year to get a young coach in with your returns.

They will miss the Henry's , they were both good coaches who made adjustments that best suited our personal (athletes) for the most part.  We will still have some good assistant s that have been around for a while Bowser, Wilson, and Burgess.  One coach on that sideline that I think we owe alot of success to over the years is James Bales (Bowser). He would be my choice for Defensive Coordinator.  If they make that choice they will be fine.  He was good at preparing our defense back when I  played, he's been around since the start of Garry's era.

I gotta take my Greenback boys. We been running together way to long to pull against them. Yes as far as I know he still has a PWO offer and since the other punter entered the portal that really helps him. Not saying he’ll compete with Brooks but ya never know. If he gets next level coaching and kicks every day he will improve greatly. His senior season he only practiced punts on the weekends. As for what we bring back we lost a bunch of seniors but we should be improved over last year. Honestly it will mostly depend on if we stick with the offense we have ran or change it up. We were a tough out in the days of 14-10 games but the offensive game of NFL and college have made it to the HS level and great defense just isn’t enough anymore. If you can’t average near 28 a game at least chances of making an impact are very low. We’ve gotta adapt offensively or figure out how to get back to holding teams to 14 or under. Time will tell I reckon.

    • 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.
