I guess with the departure of Rosser went the departure of all the talent @ Central. What it sounds like, at least. This used to be THE GAME in the 90s.

Rosser is another example of flash pan success. He got the players in after a few bad years and they win 2 state titles. He leaves and they go back to normal.

His formula wasn't followed up on after he left.  

And it wasn't because he didn't try to be sure it was handed down.  

If others won't listen, that's on them.

Formula of getting players in. Rosser is a great guy, but he knew he had to get the players in for central to be good. He did a great job of doing that and it showed. 3 state appearances and won it twice. He leaves and kids go to other schools now. Central hadn't been good since the 90s and early 2000s. He even had a few down years until he got his kids in the school. To win in Knox area you have to recruit. Everyone is doing it, some are better than others and it shows.

Craney has to be the most vanilla, boring, predictable coach in East Tennessee. 

I hate that it happened, of course, but when your guys’ stud RB went out I think it actually kinda helped y’all (as weird as it sounds) because y’all started opening up the passing game and our guys weren’t really ready for it or expecting it. Y’all caught a few big passes that caught our D off guard. I think it was a so-so game for OR. We won pretty comfortably, but still a lot of things to work on. Plus, it didn’t help having 3 or 4 really good starters out, but every team is dealing with something similar this time of year. Need to improve a lot to have a chance to win against Farragut.

    • 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.
