Look, I get it. The team isn’t good and someone has to be at fault. Coaches know the deal. If you lose you are going to get the blame. If you win, the players generally get the credit. That’s the way it’s always been, and the way it should be. I realize some people blame coaches because they don’t know any better. That’s understandable. Some, unfortunately, know better and just have a personal axe to grind for numerous reasons. 
 

Consider this though. Hasn’t this team been to the semifinals the prior three years? Maybe the coaches suddenly forgot how to coach over the past summer, coincidentally, at the same time as losing 85% of the starting roster. Yeah, some assistants have come and gone, but the core of coaches is still there. And say what you want about Eden, he is an upgrade that can coach. High expectations are a good thing to have in a football town, but reasonable logic instead of emotional reactions might clear the waters. 

So anyone who criticizes the coaches either doesn’t know better or has a personal axe to grind? Get out of here with that BS. Keep thinking all coaches are infallible and that B Satt puts a disciplined, fundamentally sound squad on the field.

No. Some coaches are bad. Bad coaches don’t go to the semifinals consistently. I’m sure their were some fans that were saying “If Creasey was here…” last night. Fans from other good programs laugh at fans for blaming Blake every year. 

Personal fouls, motion penalties, not having correct personnel in the game, those are on the coach. Criticize away. But tackling? To say the tackling is on this staff is laughable. They didn’t all of the sudden not know how to teach tackling. Athletes tackle athletes. Non-athletes can’t tackle athletes. That’s just the way it is.

You guys didn't develop these kids. Stop blaming it on talent. You hired the wrong people in ms ms to coach em.

I don't disagree with you. They weren't developed in junior high but the ceiling isn't that high for this group. The Junior program is still an issue for me it's not good but it's improving finally.

All the fans from TC news to read this post. This man is 100% right.

What have you done to help improve the Junior High program then? It's easy to talk about how bad a program is but it's another thing to go work to help improve it.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
