Think he recently met the AD and said nope I’m out???

That isn't what he told Jesse Smithey in his comments to 5 starpreps.  He's Quoted saying "Just two days after i accepted the position of head coach, unforeseen circumstances arose making it impossible for my family to move to East TN with me for 8 months or more.  Had i known that prior, I certainly wouldn't have accepted this job or, honestly even interviewed. Greenback Football is an incredible program that is surrounded by an amazing community, one of the reason why I was excited to accept this offer.  The choice to not move forward as the head coach has nothing to do with Greenback School or the football program."

I don’t think anyone would openly say that was the reason. Why burn a bridge or make yourself look like “that guy” publicly. Best to state personal reasons and move on. EE said basically the same thing and we all know he was virtually ran out of town. His quoted reason for leaving might be true but it certainly is coach speak.

Now who wants to get on their belly and crawl over to Greg's house and tell him how sorry we were for picking the other guy. 

And alot of the posters wonder why you want a hometown guy in these small schools.

Grider-SP

Satterfields-TC

Ryan-GB

Lunsfords-Cland and Hampton 

Could go on and on.

I could see them hiring the Clemmer dude who has no business teaching or coaching young men the position before telling Greg they were wrong!

    • 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.
