What's going on in Sweetwater with the coach suspension.

A word of hard earned advice here for parents of potential players presently in middle school and for coaches:

1.  If there is a kid that plays the same position as your kid and that other kid has special connections of ANY kind  with the head coach (board members, BFF, etc.) do not Hope things are handled right.  Transfer.

2.  If you are offered a position at a school as a coordinator or HC and you know nobody at the school while all the other coaches are long time buddies, do NOT take the job.  If, however, you can go in with a relative or a best friend as a coordinator then go for it.  DO NOT go in there alone.  Never, ever, never.

Sweetwater is the most cancerous program in the State of Tennessee right now and it would take a special kind of stupid to apply for that job. I really feel sorry for any of the kids caught in that mess. They'll end up having to move one of the two assistants up and try and find another yes man for one of those positions.

I would think with all that’s documented and  brought to light any new Head Coach that comes in there would only be doing so with the agreement that it’s a totally clean slate and will have the freedom to hire the best possible candidates that fits his personality, philosophy, vision and schemes from the candidate pool of applicants. Let me add that the school board will have to support him if he decides to not retain anyone left on this staff unless he sees that through an interview that they are worth retaining.   I realize it’s been a very bad situation currently but time has a way of healing and new blood can come in with a totally clean slate baring he isn’t bringing a QB in with him.  Young coaches are always looking for opportunities to move up the ladder in responsibilities and goals so there will be plenty of interest in filling a new staff as long as the school system is willing to make sure there are at least 6-8  coaching positions for a school that size along with a new Head Man who is willing to work, cause no doubt he will have his hands full to get this catastrophe in order.  It will take them a couple years at least to get things going in the right direction  and get people bought in.

Monroe County Schools only has 1 HC supplement and 2 (possibly 3) assistant supplements.

Well then they probably need to start with that if they want to take Football seriously and compete at a high level. 3 or 4 guys will kill themselves managing a roster the size of a 3/4 A program. Not saying it can’t be done but it’s not a good situation.

Sequoyah has their guy. They'd be crazy to run him off and try to re-start again. They need athletes, not another new coach after all he has done for the program and community.

assuming he sticks around. His stock has never been higher than right now. There have already been rumors that he might leave, albeit just rumors so who knows.

    • 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.
