Coach Davis is an awesome coach. I say the job got stressful and he wanted to take it easy and enjoy the sport instead of the constant grind. I love this guy and hope he has a great time coaching at Rhea. It seems to be a "riding off in the sunset" type of moment. He has earned this time and deserves the accolades and respect. I am thankful for the effect he has had on my life and career. Thanks Coach Davis!

 

Whoever is hired, I hope that the community rallies around this guy and helps as much as possible. It can not be just one man, "it takes a village." No more Englewood vs. Etowah, it has to be CENTRAL CHARGERS. No more division there. Get behind this hire and reach out to help. Former players, coaches etc. Be willing to invest in the program!

Other than rebuilding a team in your image  I hate how he scheduled this year  and jumped ship for an assistant job he gave it two years and didn't even allow his freshmen to become  seniors and noticed he quickly left polk whenever they started struggling all I heard was how great Davis was.  need a break from Meigs County maybe schedule a couple of cupcakes to gain some enthusiasm instead of playing the same teams every  year 

Why are you so hung up about the schedule?

McMinn- Central has not choice. Tried to get out the game but county administrators having nothing of it.  At least the game is at Central this year.

Tellico- Nice local game with a 2A Team

Signal Moutain, Kingston, Loudon, Sweetwater, Brainard are all District Games

Polk-Nice local game with a 2A Team

Rockwood- Old time rival but a solid not great 2A Team

Meigs-Local, traditional rival 2A Team One of the best in the state, its true. 

Tried to schedule Sequoyah and Cumberland County- They passed on Central to play POLK

Coming off Covid-19 there is a big need for some gate games....

Nothing is wrong with the schedule.

If you  thought I meant I hate who he scheduled that's  not what I meant,  I meant I hate he scheduled teams  then left the position.  Who knows who the next hire would have scheduled, guess we'll figure after the next cycle 

Playing teams so far away is not idea,  right now at our rural schools money is an important necessary for our sports programs.  The Seq. one makes no sense to me.  I have no clue why they won't play,  great game a close.  Having to travel to Chattanooga and Rockwood is fine enough.  Polk and Tellico are good pick ups.  I am not necessarily a fan of the Copper Basin game, but at least they will play.  I remember having to play Alcoa, Rhea Co. and other good programs.  Those were tough years.  I think we need to focus on building a program and gaining some revenue before venturing out.

Copper Basin and Sequoyah refused to play Central.

I've wondered that too. Sequoyah  and central are roughly about the same size .  I think central will be better the next two seasons depending on who they pick for a coach. Could you see masingale  taking the Charge as head coach?

All I know is that they were supposed to interview Wednesday and Thursday.

No, I do not believe he will.

You don't make any money when you host mcminn central

Nothing can be farther from the truth. It will be one of your best visitor gates of the season. Good or bad, Central fans historically have traveled very well. I might could understand the Basin argument but McMinn Central fans would outnumber Sequoyah fans in Madisonville.

Hope they get someone that's willing to work with them  the  past few years basically  after the 2016 season kids have seemed less interested in football 

They have a big group of sophomores returning for their upcoming junior season.  Don't be surprised if you see a few more athletes come out.  Did the upcoming Freshman group not have a pretty good season?  I for one think the boys will have a good year upcoming.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
