  "I was pulled into a mtg this morning by administration and basically informed that the direction of the program was not what they want. I’m very much heartbroken over this. I love you guys and Oak Ridge. I in no way want to leave you. But sometimes in life two sides can’t see eye to eye and things happen. I’m willing to fix any and all issues needed but not going to happen unfortunately. 
This year has been wild. We’ve practiced off campus all year, went thru numerous challenges with injuries, etc. But along the way grew as a team and as men. I’m proud to have been your coach and I wish I still was. Once my guys always my guys. I wish we could have had a team mtg so you could see my passion for you but we weren’t afforded that. For that I’m sorry. You deserve to be told in person. I love you all."

I guess the new coach better not yell or even raise his voice or he'll be fired too.

Yeah man, my streak is over.  I'm out.  Done with them.  Fridays in the fall will be free now for the first time in 50 yrs.  I will tell you in person what is really behind all of this. It is truly pathetic.   And it has been brewing since Garfield left.  It will make more sense to you.  Call me later if you still have my number. 

It's been a good run.

The world is so much different now. Too soft.

    • 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.
