Rouse, Tucker, Shimbeckler and Childs were on staff and they were all GOD AWFUL. Ask their current HC's about them.... oh yeah, they don't coach anymore. Wonder why. 

I still remember Rouse and Tucker on that staff but honestly I have never paid much attention to Bearden except the time Taylor gave us a few games which I thought he was a decent coach. I didn't know if there was bad feelings between Taylor and Shinlever.

Was Shinlever on Taylors staff at Bearden and were there some problems between the two or some cut throating or did I just dream that. I know a couple of ex Maryville players were there Shinlever's first year and all departed real fast.

You are just barely scratching the surface.The real explication would need a separate thread.

Coach Taylor and his staff did an excellent job at Bearden. Coach Taylor and his staff also has done an excellent job at Karns.

Glad to know I wasn't dreaming that. I always had a negative feeling about some things over at Bearden and have been a great supporter of Taylor and very glad he has turned one of the worst programs in Knoxville history into a respectable program.

I have seen a lot of talk about Josh Jones being a potential candidate on this thread. If that is the case and Bearden hires him then that entire program/administration is a joke. He has spent the bulk of his "career" coaching little league football. He has only been a high school coach for three years. One of those years being an abysmal disaster at CAK during Mozingo's early tenure. Any below average coach could take the athletes at Powell and run Matt's offense. As for him being able to get kids there, Bearden is not like Powell, it is already over capacity in the building and it is near impossible to get a transfer in unless there is a bona fide change of address. This isn't the baby falcons rec team, that is 6A high school football.

Oh no! Little league? Now all the Pop Warner rejects will think they're the next Nick Saban! :roflol:

Taylor with an SEC RB on his roster: 25-22 (53%)

Taylor without an SEC RB on his roster: 39-48 (45%)

12-37 at Karns before this season. 24%. Historically they're 32%. You've got an interesting definition of the word "excellent".

At what Randall? Underachieving? In 2010 West went over there and crushed them when they had a once in a lifetime running back in Devrin Young and last week Rhea Co did the same with the once in a lifetime back in Bishop.

Just another reminder that I think it will be an internal or out of state hire. 

They will make an out of state hire.

The person will have had moderate HC success in another state.

They will retire and collect state retirement. (Double-Dip)

They will accept a TA job at Bearden (that's all they have available).

This will all be okay because mediocre people love mediocre people.

    • 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.
