The football program at SHHS seems to be stagnant under HC Stacy Carter.  Has he been there long enough? He was hired back in 2010, and while it may seem like he has had a lot of success at SHHS, it also seems like the fans  (or what fans are left) are tired of the •Stacy Carter Show• … just an observation.  The football program at SHHS will never be able to compete with the big 6A schools in Knoxville with Carter as their leader, sadly he has proven that   Carter seems to be a great guy, but his knowledge of the game seems to be less than what is needed for 6A football  

This football program will need a new leader, a new Head Coach prior to kickoff in the 2022 season, or they’ll be losing even more players to Betsy, Crockett, Boone, Bristol, WestRidge, and anywhere else people can get to … to get away from the •Stacy Carter Show•

 

So, It is time! Will SC read the writing on the wall, and hear the fans in the stands? Or Will the admin have to put pressure on SC to leave? 

Thoughts?

vs. the last head coach at SH, Carter has been able to do what was wanted for the program.  1.  Beat DB 2. Conference Championship 3. Beat DB.  That's it. In the state it was in during the late 9

If he makes close to $100k that would be a waste of about $50k. But he probably gets a $50k bonus for beating DB every year.

Science Hill has always had the athletes, they just can't seem to put together a winning combination.

Pretty good article in the Johnson City Press entitled "Where were the fans?" (link below).      Science Hill is the 4th biggest school in the state and there were only 600 fans at their game with Farragut.    Clearly community support is not there for the Toppers, and although I can't stand SH as a team those kids deserve way better than what their fan base is giving them.      Does all that go back to Carter?     That I'm not sure, but it sure wouldn't hurt if the fans could get behind their team.

In the state it was in during the late 90's to 2000's before Carter took over, no one can argue that Carter has been effective in the program.  I think he's doing more than fine.

A couple of things I think people need to remember (That being SH, DB, and West Ridge) is that 6A is a black hole that ends whenever they play Maryville in the playoffs.  That's just how it is.  Coaching is top notch there, I won't make an argument that it isn't, but you don't have kids from the surrounding counties transferring or entering in the program from other counties like you do at Maryville.  Elizabethton and Greeneville have that luxury.  They are both in a sweet spot where they avoid Alcoa and Maryville.  To be honest, both of those teams are on track to be back to 5.  DB and SH both to be stuck in 6A until the end of time, West Ridge is on track to be back in 5A in the next 2-6 years.  West Ridge has the potential to be a power house, time will tell.

Very well stated sir!         As long as Maryville is in the 3rd round DB and SH are....  ....   basically attached to another object by an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis

I’m certainly not saying the program is in worse shape than it was before Carter took over, just not sure how many times “coaching errors” can be “ignored” in 6A football.   At some point SHHS is going to need to compete with the Knoxville Schools if they want to be considered “among the best” … but If SHHS and Coach Carter are okay with being a mediocre 6A football team, then there is  absolutely no need in any coaching changes.

As long as they win the annual Super Bowl (against Kingsport) they pretty much don't care.

Oakland is probably the only team in 6A that has better overall athletes than does Science Hill (this year). A group like that only comes around about every 10 years or so in this part of the country. Wasted.

Truth!! ThAt group was FULL of talent.  Sad to see such a season end in a matter of bad coaching calls.

What is Science HIll willing to pay for a top coach?  FYI the top D2 coaches in Tennessee are in the $150,000 range as are the top public school coaches in Texas.  In Texas most of the head coaches along with the OC and DC do not have to teach a truly academic subject.  They may teach 2 periods of strength & conditioning or drivers education but nothing that requires a great deal of preparation. If SH really wants to win they must pay for a great coaching staff.

I bet the coaching staffs at Elizabethton and Greeneville make less than the coaching staff at Science Hill and DB.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
