Sorry guys but I have to ask what I'm sure is a stupid question but since I don't know, I'll ask.

 

Who is "Buck"?  Is that a nickname for Creasy or someone on his staff?  Sorry,  I haven't been around here long enough to have picked up on it.

Buck FItzgerald. runs NPA. Steers kids to where to play.

Being here in the metro we know how things work. When kids leave a metro private we know why and how they get to certain high schools and colleges.

 

So I googled Buck yesterday.  Some of you old timers here I'm sure would know but is Buck legit?  Just looking at his website it looks pretty much 3rd rate.  Really couldn't find much info on Buck himself other than he played for the Vols for a few years.  

 

I wasn't sure if people respected him or if he was just a long running joke.  Just based on his website i'm gonna go with running joke.

I don't think I would call anyone with Buck's connections a running joke. Check out 605 River Rock Blvd. in the Boro.

I don't know anything about Buck.  I am simply asking a question to try and figure out who this person is.  Virtually nothing can be found online regarding his qualifications or past.  Yes I saw the link above.  The website runs slow and to me doesn't look very "professional".  Was he a great player at UT?  I can find tons of info on a Buck Fitzgerald that was a football coach here in TN for 35+ years but I'm thinking this isn't the same person. 

I suppose it really doesn't matter, it's just that I see him referenced here on the board on a fairly  regular basis and wasn't sure what the deal is.

Maurice FItzgerald is his father.

 

So yes, I would assume he has lots of connections in the football world.  Don't know how long he has had this business but hope he does well with it.  I was just trying to find out who he was and what kind of credentials he has.  Sounds legit.

    • 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?
