There're 2 or 3 keepers on the coaching staff, the rest should be selling used cars. No involvement in the little leagues or middle schools, which also has terrible coaching. But we have a very nice Stadium with an upper deck and fancy lights that change color. People in Kingsport just need something to brag about and right now it's the Band. The band has actually sucked the life out of the sports teams. At halftime you can watch 1/3 of the fans get up and leave after the band performance. And out of the 2/3 that are left, half of them doesn't even know there's a game going on until somebody scores. 

Who are the keepers in your opinion?

It's not just DB, I don't think any of the NET big schools will ever be relevant in football.      Meaning in the playoffs.....

As you know I've preached it before but the big schools can be relevant in the football playoffs but the entire system has to by in from the pee wee up.  I can promise you if Caine Ballard was the head coach at DB he would win them a championship with the athletes they have including the ones walking the halls.  It's a system and a strong head coach that knows what they are doing.

Agree all the way Swipes.

Science Hill has had a lot of athletes over the years as well.     I totally agree with you

Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.

    • 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.
