Yes they told me the line coach left and acted as if he was as important or close as the HC leaving.My team is Greenback and we had 4 years in the Championship from 15 to 19 and then our coach got an offer he couldn't refuse and we are in a similar situation.We dont have the type players you all do year in and out but we usually hold our own,now we are trying to get back up but our bunch hired a coach with no big time ball experience and its hurting us badly.

LRDAO.  You fellars just ran out of outhouses to rent out.  You think im joking but im not.

Murphy has a couple of young assistant coaches that have potential and are good guys.

Also I don't want it sound like I'm hating on Watson, I'm not. Watson knows football, he was/is a good offensive coordinator. But he just doesn't have the mindset or leadership qualities especially in terms of discipline to be the head man, the CEO, in my honest opinion. He also doesn't have anywhere near the staff Gentry did. 

When Gentry retired so did Murphy's longtime line coach (which has been a huge blow) and Murphy's long time d-coordinator left for a job in Georgia (another huge blow) those two were two of the best assistant coaches in NC 1A football. Those losses hurt just as much if not more than the loss of Gentry. Watson was dealt a rough hand to be fair to the guy.

Yeah, you guys lost a lot when Gentry retired. I don’t know all the details of the Nelson situation but I think administration screwed up letting him walk and that was a huge blow to the program and defensive identity.

I just think it’s really cool these 2 teams are playing. 2 schools traditionally that are the best in their state. Game like this only helps you get ready for the playoffs. Commander don’t use the speed thing. The SMC has heard this for years and years about how they are going to get ran of the field from the schools on the East side of the state. The SMC has over 30 state championships since 1972 when NC went to East vs West. You said something about atmosphere. I would say it’s hard to beat a Swain Murphy game on atmosphere. 

I’m not arguing with you, these are the two standards at the 1a level in each respective states. I live 20 minutes from Murphy here in the Basin, I respect their history and the SMC is a good conference where the teams will hit you in the mouth and not ask any questions. I think when they go against the East they hit them in the mouth and the East teams will lay down because they’re not used to it week in and week out. The Pirates have never not been a hard hitting team so I’m excited to see two hard hitters go at it. I’m not so sure about swain and Murphy, now Murphy and Robbinsville in recent years has been hostile environments. But I will say no one in the SMC has a cannon that fires after every touchdown. I played in many games in my time for Copper Basin and I will say I’ve never been more intimidated in my life than playing at the Beene there’s not many environments around like it.

I see you and our old buddy MHS95 are too scared to post on here. You think I’m joking but I’m not lol.

They will SMC posters are pretty good. That’s why I have been on both sites for a long time. Now that you have a Rivals account you can post on this to.

Yeah I’m not doubting there is some Murphy teams that could compete with South Pitt, I think last year if the game was played would’ve been a good ball game. I also stated early on the Murphy would compete early but the Pirates would break away eventually and win 35-14! I think the Murphy line will cause the Pirates some issues just because the Pirates are young.

Any of the Murphy teams from '08 to '20 could have competed with SP and some of those a lot more than just compete, if the two schools had played every year during that stretch no doubt Murphy would have some wins in there and the same obviously goes for South Pitt. It would've been a great series, it's really unfortunate the two waited this long to get together but I don't think that's a coincidence either. 

As far as last season goes Murphy had enough talent to get to at least the regional title game if not the state title game in my opinion and with the previous coaching staff they probably would have, but they really underperformed. I've talked to knowledgeable folks associated with other teams in our conference,  including one rival coach that agreed Murphy definitely had the most talent in the conference last season but didn't make the most of it. 

Now this year? the talent just isn't there this season for Murphy compared to years past and next year will be even worse in that respect.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
