Utterly embarrassing.  Knew there were issues week 1, but this off the rails.   
 

Best football job in the state, and only our headmaster could mess this up.    You have to be completely incompetent to mess up this football program.   
 

Masters needs to put his house on the market.   Cody White looks like a genius.  This is bad.

What has changed with Masters?  He has been HM since 2000.

What I am about to say comes from personal knowledge after being in the loop about what goes on at BA for over a decade now. Masters started changing around the 2013-2015 time frame, and this is reflected If you look back the pipeline of good players coming to BA in the middle school ranks. BA's teams during Cody's tenure after their last title in 2018 all progressively got worse talent wise. During this time starting around 2015 Masters began to worry about the public image of the school instead of upholding what traditionally made the school a great place. I know of several examples of instances of him going over the top with disciplinary actions on students, many of them even football players, all while being hypocritical and preaching about how BA is one big family and is a forgiving "christian" school. Stuff like this is why students and alumni staff started to leave BA in droves. For all of this to be fixed Masters has to leave. Him growing up in the middle of nowhere in the jungle as a missionaries kid gave him a very very skewed perspective of the world and this is one of the main reasons he has a hard time relating to many of the people at BA. Every single other D2 program during these last few years have expanded and BA has remained stagnant all while raising tuition. There are several fundamental problems at BA, but at the end of the day Masters is the cause of all of them

All of what you are saying was preventable. The arrogance of Masters and Mathews to not seek input on the new coaching hire has backfired. They refused to listen to former players, alumni, parents, and community members and they hired a cocky inexperienced assistant coach who they could control. 

This hire proves that just because you played in the NFL Does not mean you know how to hire a football coach (just like playing in the NFL does not correlate to head coaching - ask Lipscomb). 
 

BA needs a unifier at the top job, AD, and head football coach  They have zero of that now. It is salvageable but serious decisions need to be made. BA does not have Frists and Ingrams as donors but money is sitting out there.  Believe me when I say that that money will stay on the sideline under the current set up of leadership.  
 

Masters cares about robotics, outdoor chapels , and new parking spaces. The sad thing is that all of those things were possible (and much more) if they just listened. The world has changed in the private school landscape especially in Nashville. They just don’t get it.

Being a complete outsider I am going to say that you are correct about Masters.  However, I am going to say that the Board of Trust has allowed Masters to do all of this over the years and due to that fact you need a completely new Board of Trust.  That board should be filled with BA alumni and no one with children or grandchildren should be allowed to serve on the board.

Any of you BA connected people know how #60 is doing? It was scary when he went down and had to be ambulanced off the field. 

BT28 - saw a Tweet from the young man this morning. He indicated he will be back on the field in 2 weeks.

    • 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.
