1st or 2nd round is more like it every year. How can a coach go just about every year for over 30 years with those records and never won a state championship or even been to a state championship. When it comes to the playoffs he sucks.

No, when it comes to the playoffs he inevitably runs into more athletic teams. He dominates teams that are similar to the make up of his kids. He cannot control the level of athletic ability that his players are born with. 

It ain't about the X's and O's. Coaching is 20%. Athletes are 80%. Pareto's Law is ALWAYS in effect.

Do you look at Peabody and Lewis County teams right now and think "those are the same level kids"?

The over-all and underlying proponent is what you just spoke of. I agree with almost everything you said. The exception is the usage of the word similar. The actuality is weaker and smaller teams. When Hohenwald actually faces teams that are similar, they are at best 50/50 and the record dictates that. Look over the past several years and you will see what I am talking about. It is viewed in Riverside, Chapel Hill, Columbia Academy and maybe one or two others. The rest of the schedule is against perennial losing teams. So, that's how they end up with 9-1 or 8-2 records. They can beat all of those bad teams but fail at a rate of 50% of the time to beat teams who are decent or host well above average winning records. This years schedule is a prime example. They have only faced two teams so far this year with winning records. They are 50/50 in those games. However, the one they beat has a record of like 4-3; not dominant. The lone loss is against a 1A team that is undefeated. 

Last year is a perfect example. During the regular season they only played against two opponents with winning (on the field) records. One was 7-3 and the other 5-4 and they barely beat the 5-4 team while the 7-3 team came back IN THE SECOND ROUND and knocked them out. Go back to 2019; they played three teams out of 10 with above .500 records and only won one of those matchups and that was to basketball school Eagleville. 

Hohenwald is not playing similar teams during the regular season MM, they are playing teams of very much lessor makeup.

 Here's a headline for you...I agree that their typically "soft" non region schedule works against them in the playoffs, but that's Coach Sharp's call and not my business. There, I made the comment...

Like I didn't think you would refer back to it when I typed it...LOL...it's my opinion and I'll stand by it, but it's just my opinion and not fact. Point is, Sharp decides what's best for the program, and he alone answers for it. If LC fans are happy with the success he's had he has done his job well, not many programs have had as much.

You keep typing these paragraphs and paragraphs but all I hear is butthurt hatred from you. I think a trip to the therapist is in order. Admitting you have a problem is half the battle. Good luck and may God have mercy on your soul! :thumb:

You said all that and guess what… Page still sucks.

And the thing is I said before the season that LC has an uphill battle this year. Along with some good seniors we had 4 starters that are not playing this year.  I have been surprised by the amount of success LC has had and I don’t care who’s it is against. The thing  that the haters miss is that LC is competitive even during the years when the talent level is not there.

It’s not “haters”…. There is only one.

    • 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.
