Any names rumored to be in line for the job?  Will they hire from inside?

Coach Foster just resigned so it’s unknown what will happen. He did endorse his assistant Denney for the job.

The girls coach quit last June and they were able to hire McWilliams (the son) from Upperman. Cumberland is not a high pressure job at all but they have hired a lot of coaches recently in all sports. Football is a mess because it’s hard to keep the good athletes from magically ending up at Stone Memorial. Basketball has actually been good and kids want to play here.

What is Roller rule?

He was on the board representing D2 and got the ridiculous AA established so Lipscomb would not have to play football against BA/MBA/Ensworth etc.

No reason to have 3 divisions with 60 teams. Set the cut at 400 and go. If you look at the enrollment numbers for D2 there is a very definite split already there that would give the large schools 16 teams. Two regions of 8. But instead you had a couple schools that could not compete at that level and set it up to protect themselves. Those 2 didn't come in at 449 when the split was 450 by accident.

Huge hire for sure but they will still be facing an uphill climb state wide. 

Don't forget about teams like Goodpasture, CPA, Knoxville Webb, Notre Dame, FACS, ECS, Tipton Rosemark, etc... 

All these teams are Division 2 Class A because Division 2 did not change anything with classifications

Like I said, huge hire. Great and proven coach. But it is an uphill climb.

Certainly, true. In no way crowning them just because of the hire. However, I think this will make them a lot more competitive then they have been since moving to D2. I think they'll start to get athletes in that will make them more competitive with the teams you mentioned.

Lot of good basketball in D2. Nothing is easy or a given.

This is our biggest problem at CCHS. We make too many excuses. There is no magic line that separates the good athletes in football. You said it yourself We get good basketball players. The problem is we get to worried about crying about them over there, and not focused on getting better. Our sports problems is not with zoning or transfers, it is with our culture. 

Kids can't even go out of zone to stone so they do not magically end up across town. There is no magic water on that side making them better. They hired good coaches and work on getting better

We work on trying to make sure we complain about everything they do instead instead of looking in the mirror.

I feel that Cumberland has the better basketball coaches now but this is a hire the school needs to get right. McWilliams has a heck of a girls team returning (they ran with Macon for a half) and the boys have a lot of young pieces coming up. I don’t have a dog in the fight but do know parents of Stone football players that have their kids in both schools.

    • 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.
