I don’t see that the east would have turned out any different the past several years. The elite kids that Greenback had several years ago were men among boys. 

Just having a little fun, but I agree that it's not all coaching.  They ain't had near the talent as they had prior to the past few years.  No disrespect,  they've had some really talented kids come through there.

Dang shame people didn’t give that young man 3 years. I’ve never seen a school where the community obviously hires and fires. I guess I have now. Us armchair QBs in the stands are something else. 

When you have parents tell you that their child will not play next year if he is coaching , When the kids are saying the same thing what are you supposed to do???????? Suffer like Lenoir City, William Blount , Heritage and several other schools have done with the best kids walking  the halls or even worse leave the school all together?????? When the attendance is lower than it has been in years and years. Why should you give him any more time!

Parents running the show though. You got to be careful about that. We all think we know best. That’s human nature. 

You could have expected too much after losing several division 1 players in 2019  Those guys don’t come around often. Look at SP last year. They had a RB go to UT Martin and a DL that could have went big. They graduated them and didn’t make it out of the second round.

    • 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.
