When does spring ball start for the bears?? 

You would think as many Sevier County coaches that are on here or people that work at the central office someone would answer your question. I don't have a beef with the fine folks from Sevier County like Murphy College does and only wish them well. My first high school football  game as player was at Sevier County and the county fair was going on right beside the football field at the old field which not being from there I was always curious where it was at. Murphy College was nice enough of all the people I ask and told me exactly where it was which I visited back at the first of the year. Even though the old stands were gone the old light poles are still the same ones and the old scoreboard frame is still standing behind the newer one as a prop or something. I knew for sure I had found it when I fould the old scoreboard which had a real clock with hands on it to keep the time. Not only that but he told me about the old college which is the central office and a school that Maryville High played a few times back in the 1920's. Very interesting history you folks have there.

So it is not nice to make fun of people on the internet, but from what I have seen, this is pretty much all Murph does. And I know what Murph said is probably sarcasm, but if not..... Again easy to sit in stands and critique and criticize. It is you right to critique and criticize, but too personally attack and make fun of, not so much. 

Hey pal, glad to see you post again. Always appreciate your insight and want to make you feel welcome here

I've not seen this much fireworks going off in Sevier County since the White Caps and the Blue Bills were fighting.

You got that right Barn. Carroll McMahan could write a book about the coaches being offended by Murphy’s opinions. Maybe not a book , but at least an article in the mountain press.

I’m not really one to argue with people on the internet, but I’m going to have to disagree. I haven’t personally attacked anyone. As I’ve said before the coaches are good men, family men. The coaches are real Americans that pay taxes, mow their yard, and tip well. My disagreements have been strictly football, and the teaching of football fundamentals. If a qb doesn’t set his feet, doesn’t point his front foot towards the receiver, then I think it’s bad coaching. If I see a receiver with his outside foot forward, then I think it’s bad fundamentals. If I see a bounce pass on a screen then I think it’s the result of bad habits from practice carried over into the game. If I see a Oline stand straight up and have  hands out like he’s trying to play paddy cake with the Dline then I think Wise50 needs to put down the skoal can coach some hand placement drills in practice. If I see a qb doesn’t know where the hot read is on a lb blitz then I think he wasn’t mentally prepared by studying film and knowing where the ball goes based on his presnap read. When I see this I think the coach needs to do better, not get on coach t and blame a kid like some of you people do. If you choose to rebuttal I’ll be happy to continue discussing football with you. I won’t go to a safe space and behind an ignore list like HandbookTV does.

I don't care who you are old man. I answer to head coach and he says I do my job. That's all that matters. When we lead the conference in roaches again, I'll be here to let you know

Hopefully these “roaches” will lead to wins against the likes of Cocke County and Heritage. Do you watch the other teams OL and count their “roaches” up to determine that you guys have lead your conference? Good luck to the Smokes this year! New conference should be beneficial.

Really fat shaming. 

It’s a shame when low brow people use the internet to insult others. Some people have no class.
