Is this a job that  Tygard would want? He coached there before. When was the last time ND was good? I know they had decent run a while back. Was that a fluke or is that sustainable there? Just an outside that’s curious.

Surely not. Surely Cleveland is the place he will stay at for more than two years. If not, that has to be a HUGE red flag to administrators.

Coach Fant seemed like a great guy. Wish him well! I think there are many different schools in Division II that are trying to determine if they want to/ or can afford to invest in everything it takes to have a good football program. I’m not sure if ND can or wants to invest all the resources to compete? (Literally not sure, they could be, I just have do not have w any knowledge of there comprehensive plan for football). Hope they hire a great coach, Chattanooga is turning into a wrestling and football town! 

and great leader of young men....pretty sure he's gonna be just dandy.....huge asset to the institution that has now secured him.....and pretty sure thats goin to show immediately......and that institution is not in flux on tryin to determine which way they want to go in the competitive sports arena of D2....especially Football, facilities and the value it has on a whole institution....

.....ND indeed could...but a Joe load of stuff has to align......along with all the correct folks once again in place..... and whole system from top to bottom, to include Alumni, have to be committed.......the HC that just resigned proved it could be done from the first season he was hired as HC for the followin 6 or 7 seasons in a row.....then a bunch of that system went quickly away....basically between the endin of one season and the beginnin of the next.....that system hasnt corrected itself...nor a similar plan and its top to bottom commitment put back in place....ND football hasnt recovered since...

....ND just had a great coach resign...and a coach that had great coachin staffs from the day he was hired until he resigned......their may have been seasons, dependin on who is judgin, where one staff may have been stronger either with certain individual coaches or stronger as a combined unit.....but that Fant feller was never without a few, if not many, seriously qualified assistants around him

....Chattanooga has awlays been a restlin town....and we shall see how much turnin to football it becomes

....those south Middle TN privates will not allow those trophy cases go without new hardware for long

Did their decline coincide with the move to D2? Better competition and coaching in that league

Absolutely not!....thinkin bout 21-3 in first 2 season in D2.....and guarontee BoroFootball coachin dint decline it....might have been a couple years tween 11'& 18 BoroFootball could even have collected 7 or 8 W's

I’m not the boro spokesman so hypothetical matchups aren’t my thing. I think the boro is like D2-AA in that it’s top heavy. Haves/have nots. Lots of good teams and bad teams in both leagues between 11-18. Coaching better in D2 was my point. Seems you agree

    • 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.
