Well their season ended tonight and they were able to put up their third consecutive winless season. Even after firing coaches in mid season. Made absolutely no positive effects whatsoever. This is a sad situation for this school and community. Even the other county schools are hardly any better. 
I think back to when coach Wiggins and coach Satterfield had the program for seven years. More wins than any other coaches. Four straight playoff appearances. 
they should have kept them or at the least bring them back now!! This program is barely on life support and current coaches will finish them off if they are left in place. 
does anyone in Monroe county care???

They were in a bad spot....Bolinger is a fantastic guy and had some good ways of trying to get the program in the right direction.  I really think that they have to really have to get a guy in there to completely turn the program around.  They will need a new staff.  This is something that would be difficult for admin to be ok with but they are going to have to just let the new guy have some freedom.  That means a staff!  They have some good looking kids...but they also have a ton of kids (like most schools) that should be out but just wouldn't because of the coaching situation.

Teams are built and championships are won in the offseason.  Personally if I were the head football coach I would implement a very structured and mandatory speed, strength & conditioning program that would begin ASAP along with requiring all of the football players that are not on the basketball team to be on the wrestling team.  Often times you will find that if the football team is not successful it's due to a lack of mental toughness.  There is not sport better than wrestling at developing mental fortitude in high school athletes.

    • 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.
