That’s crazy to say. His son couldn’t hold kippy’s jock strap. King Berrong didn’t have any real winning until Sweetwater finally integrated. Berrong was carried by Anthony Oggs and the rest of those stud athletes like kippy & his family. Go look at King’s coaching record. His talent who learned how to play football before they got to him made him look good. 

Apparently you didn't understand what I said. Berrong coached from 51 to 74 and no parent was going to do to him what those parents did to Slover.

Rumor out of  Copper Basin is that recently fired head coach Chad Grabowski is headed to Sweetwater as the defensive coordinator?

It's good to see he is getting to bring in someone himself. I'm curious if Slover is still there teaching or has found another job coaching somewhere else.

There's a saying that says that more things change the more they stay the same. 

I'm told that baseball is having similar issues as football did, and there is a common denominator.  

Parents - if you can't keep your mouths shut and let your kids play and the coaches coach, just stay your butt at home.  You aren't doing anybody other than your own ego any good.

Parents want to have a voice and an opinion of how things should go, but they only see gamedays. Its tough in todays climate to be a coach. A coach has to sell their program and explain themselves 24/7 to players, parents, and admin. Parents have gone from wanting their kids to learn valuable lessons for life to wanting them to be the star and what is talked about to the news papers. This hurts that TEAM culture that high school sports used to bring to players.

    • 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.
