I don't have any displeasure with this person at all. He is a good coach and better than his record but his main failure was PR skills which just sending in a questionair with a self stamped envelope was just to much for this man to do which is a sign of his personality as a whole. I know someone who lived in his neighborhood that had four boys that played high school football and they would pass just walking on the street and he wouldn't even acknowledge him after speaking. My old coach would have stopped and not only talked to this person but before you know it those four boy's would have been going to Maryville just because he made that parent feel extra special. PR skills are a must in winning high school football believe it or not. Look at Josh Jones at Bearden how much interest he has brought to that program over good PR skills that attract kids and their families. Please don't let my opinion and overall insight rub you the wrong way but I was just using him as an example even though he isn't coaching now. There is one place knowing him well as I do that he would have been the perfect fit at and that was where he played high school football and that job was available this past winter but I guess he didn't apply. Wish that he had of.

His cousin wasn’t much on pr either, but he beat the evensville-dayton-spring city-graysville unified senior high like a red headed step child.

Which inner-city schools are you referencing? When I think of inner-city schools in tennessse I think of sneedeville and sunset gap. 

I mainly bought Mr. Fair’s book in the 90’s and early 2000’s. You could be sure that 100% of the Memphis schools, downtown Chattanooga schools and 90 plus % of Metro Nashville schools would read “Survey Not Returned.”

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
