Sad for kids like Kendall Jackson or Jai Hundley. Behind a competent offensive line, they would have some great recruiting tape.

I’ve thought about this too. At what point do kids get sick of it and move on? Who on earth would wanna run behind that offensive line? Well, unless you love the feeling of getting decapitated every other run.

Oh you saw the frustration from Jackson when he tackled Faust on the sidelines after that INT return. I feel for the kid. I'm sure this isn't what he expected in his senior season.

Tarwater is the one I feel sorry for. The kid weighs a buck 50 soaking wet, getting thrown around like a daggum rag doll every time he goes back to attempt a pass. The kid will have CTE at 20 years old at this rate.

Oh man, point taken. That poor kid has been battered.

OC - Rodney Ellison

O-line coach - Alex Stuart

Not sure about S&C. Maybe that’s the problem.

How does a city school system not have a full-time strength and conditioning coach? Look at Kingsport City, Maryville City, Johnson City, Alcoa City... all four have full-time guys. Crazy. Unacceptable.

    • 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.
