I don't guess I understand the issue. I have been deep supporter of every Coach Blackman has had; This time it just happens to be in my opinion that was he is not a good fit for the program at this time. and somehow the thought is I/ we are not going to support him. As the biggest Blackman fan on this site, it is baffling to think folks who don't have a dog in the fight have gotten so riled up by the ideal that a very loyal fan to the program is not overly excited about the choice. Nothing said about not supporting him or the program. 

The funniest thing about all this is some of the folks throwing a fit in this thread who had no clue who Tygard was,  the same ones slamming me for supporting him. Seems like it . is darned if you do darned if you don't . Most of these folks will crawl back in their shell or flip the switch midway through this next season, and by season 2 will ready to see him tarred and feathered regardless of his record at that point 

 

 

 

 

 

Totally agree. You can and will still support him while also having the opinion that he wasn’t the right hire. They’re not mutually exclusive.

Not riled up Mr. Blaze. And I’ll vouch 100% that you are the biggest Blackman supporter on this site and that I have no dog in this fight. In fact, I usually add the latter quote when I make a post like I did. Just adding a relevant example from an outsiders perspective. I hope the hire works out great for you guys. BTW, I remember, back when I used to go to the BlueCross Bowl at MTSU each year,that one particular year during Riverdale’s heyday, a man and his wife wearing Blackman shirts or jackets came in and sat a couple of rows in front of me. Could that have been you?

I wasn't directing that post at you directly, just in general. Good probability . At heart I am a true Blue Blaze fan, but the core I support all these kids in RuCo. and will continue to do so. I believe the most important thing you can do for the youth in your area is simply show up, They may never know your name , but to look in the bleachers and know that their effort matters, be it Football. baseball, soccer track, ROTC or underwater basket weaving I think it matters....

Underwater basket weaving? You go through BUDS Blaze45?

    • 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.
