Bearden open


HTV

Recommended Posts

Bearden has eight jobs posted. Three special ed teaching assistant jobs, two assistant baseball jobs, one softball assistant job, a supply PE teacher position, and a head football coach job. The folks in charge over there are clearly struggling to hire someone. They've had four weeks to get this figured out. They've got three options: hire someone willing to be a special ed teaching assistant during the day and be head coach at night, have a Cocke Co situation and hire an insurance agent, or hire internally. I think they would have already announced if hiring internally. So really they have two options that they don't want to choose. They've done a decent job keeping this quiet except for one or two guys on the hiring panel but that doesn't change the fact that this is a complete clustercuss.

Ah yes, another day passes and another day that Bearden falls behind HVA, Farragut, and West. Now the question becomes, who makes a hire first Bearden or Notre Dame? Maybe the BHS admin are waiting on their man Josh Jones to finish up his run with the Panthers so he can replicate some of his 2018 success at CAK. Or Maybe Rusty will burn a bridge at his fourth place and come take over the reigns.

Who would be the top candidates on your list?

Buddy this is high school football in KCS. AD's don't have short lists. They post the job, people apply, they interview, they pick someone that matched the teaching positions available and life goes on. They ain't hiring Bradley or Jones. It would be plain stupid to hire a HFC that doesn't teach at the school. Where else in KCS is that the case?

I did not ask the AD, I asked you.  I understand the KCS limitations and the lack of faith in the Bearden admin, but you seem knowledgeable about this so I want to hear your top candidates.

This is a strange list and is not going to happen bud, hate to break it to you. Those 3 will not be announced for the Bulldogs in 2022. 

What do you think about it? To me this is an impossible situation. LJS says the admin is not strong and they're in a tough spot. What are the realistic outcomes? It is possible they'll go into February and not have this sorted out.

    • 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.
