Exactly, if this suspension is based solely on the fans and parents then it is absolute buffoonery!

Surely it has to be something else? But was it something else when the winning basketball coach got fired? 

If it's based solely on fans, it mimics UT.....they didn't like schools choice of coaching hire and cried till they changed who they were hiring

Last I heard the QB did not give up passes of 77, 82 and 95 in the first quarter....420 yards passing in the first half......Almost 600 yards in total offense in 3 quarters....Bet they not replacing the D Coordinator who made zero adjustments...Bad precedent getting started in Sweetwater....dictating to coaches who to play. Sad for a traditionally proud program. 

No, but it does account for a lopsided score. I'm not laying any blame. All I'm saying is that it's easy to get blown out when you have 4 turnovers.

As I mentioned they blow it up bigger than things may be but if the suspension turns out over disputes with parents or fans you'll never hear anymore about it because they want to make you think the worst. FYI last week the game against McMinn Central should have been a close one either way not a 44-10 beatdown. I even went with Sweetwater on that pick and wanted to know what could of happened for a team to fall like that and will it continue. I would love to hit many as possible but knowing things are going on at the clubhouse level can possibly determine who may win. 

They? Who was the they that blew this story up. We're not talking in general. We're talking about this specific situation and the specific news outlet that blew this up.

Who would ever want to coach at Sweetwater if all it takes is some entitled parents to complain little Johnny isn’t playing enough to get you canned. What a sh…. Show 

You think if the parents filled out the starting roster they would take blame for a loss when it happened? Asking for a friend. :mrgreen:

Parents & fans from Sweetwater were signing petitions and contacting the AD & School Board wanting him gone because he started his son. It’s small town politics & everyone knows everyone and parents wanted their kid to play QB & the people in charge listened. When Slover’s son did good you could still hear parents upset or criticizing the kid in the solely because he started over the hometown boy who just so happens to be close with the people in charge. So they are crying daddy ball but all the while they are wanting to play buddy ball. Apparently he’s getting investigated for discrimination for those reasons. Idk if it’s true and just a rumor but I’m told Slover doesn’t know why he is getting investigated. Also I’m told that coaches wanted him gone too because the assistants knew Slover didn’t want them because they aren’t good coaches. They were friends, classmates, or whatever with the AD, principal, and the higher ups on the board. He started interviewing more coaches and they didn’t like that. It has been said many times that Sweetwater want coaches from the town. This is something they do with coaches or players who aren’t from Sweetwater. They’ve had a few outside coaches who didn’t stick around in less than a year. It’s small town politics

Some parents & fans want some coaches on defense gone too. Those guys have been coaching there for a while & they can’t call a defense good at all. Besides last year when they went 8-2, these coaches been around for a while. They gotta go. But again, they are friends with the higher ups

    • 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.
