A coach left for a head coaching position, another for a coordinator position, a guy who wasn't to on the high school team staff left for another position not on a high school staff, and a guy who was going to join the staff decided not to.  And it's still the offseason.  

What "honor" is there to defend?   

 

OH!

 

I know the answer to this one:

 

There is absolutely no honor.

 

We can count on you to defend them no matter what.

Kevin Lane took the Central head coaching job. 

One high school assistant and the head coach of the MAC program went with him. 

Reado agreed to come, then changed his mind.  

That's it. End of story. 

That pretty much summarizes it all.

Since he was hired: 

2 WR coaches 

2 TE coaches 

3 OL coaches 

1 RB coach 

1 DB coach 

1 DC 

I think that adds up to 10 

It’s called rebuilding. You just have to find the right guys, and you know you found the right guys when they go on to be head coaches at other programs. You can’t do anything if they leave for other jobs. That’s it, simple, and if it’s shown every day as a coach that you come in and slack and not reach your full potential, not just for the team but for the student athlete as well, then it’s the next man up, and you gotta go. 

Welcome to today's coaching. It's not just hiring some teacher who's only coaching experience is flag football and maybe played in high school. Schools are going out and getting coaches with experience under their belt, and those coaches are going out and getting people with actual experiences to help not just the program but the student athletes as well, whether they are teachers or not or have anything to do with the school or in a classroom, and that's what the TSAA wanted, and I would say most people.

It’s called building a program people want to be a part of. If you lose a majority of the people you hire, you either aren’t qualified to be making the hire, or you haven’t built a quality product. 
 

this is likely the outcome of hiring who aren’t qualified to be teachers and have no ties to the school and the community. So it’s no big deal if they jump ship. None of the coaches that left were teachers in the building. So that not hiring teachers comment makes no sense. 
 

They’ve only had one coach leave for a head coaching job. And he only got that job because no one else wanted it.

Newsflash:  

Knox County football coaches move quite often, especially those who teach/work at schools other than where they coach and non faculty coaches. 

It's a different day. 

New head coaches often have staff changes early in their tenure until the right fits are made. 

Some of you are obviously wearing tin foil hats.

First you said my numbers were exaggerated now my numbers are correct but it’s fine and totally normal. 
 

jones reminds me of an old saying, run into an #### first thing in the morning, you met one ####. Run into assholes all day, you’re the ####.

Your numbers are exaggerated and the changes are completely out of context. 

Get a grip.

What do you mean they’re exaggerated? In the time he’s been there he has officially hired 10 coaches who are no longer a part of the program. That is a fact. If anything I’m underreporting the number who have left. Only one left for a better job. Having that high of a turnover rate is a major red flag.

Reado and the Smiths had ties, and yes, Reado is gone.  

Lane only took a couple of guys with him, one of them being the coach who led the feeder program and another for a promotion to a coordinator position.  

No mass exodus of coaches.  

So Reado left because Smith left? That seems like Smith just pulled the rug out from under him and left Reado hanging. Why didn't Reado just stay on and coach O-Line. I am sure he could have done a great job. He has been successful before at CAK and Grace Christian of Knoxville. Is private Christian School coaching that much different than coaching public school, and it also being BHS at 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
