Scrapper Football Leaders Reflect on Season Progress, Tradition, and the Road Ahead

On yesterday’s Coaches Show, KMTB and KNAS sat down with three key voices behind the Nashville Scrapper Football Program — Head Coach Brad Chesshir, Superintendent Doug Graham, and Athletic Director James “Bunch” Nichols — to talk about the current season, the culture of Scrapper football, and the vision moving forward.

Coach Brad Chesshir opened the conversation with a heartfelt look back at his roots — sharing memories of his early days as a Scrapper and the mentors who helped shape his journey.

Superintendent Doug Graham emphasized that while the season is a process, the goal has always been about returning to the core values and identity that define Scrapper football.

Athletic Director Bunch Nichols, who has his own coaching history with the Scrappers, is now part of the broadcast booth on game nights. He shared how it feels to still be part of the action — just from a new vantage point.

The Coaches Show offered a look not just into the stats and scores, but into the pride, tradition, and future of one of Arkansas’s most storied football programs.

Stay tuned later this week as we continue our coverage of Scrapper Football and hear more from Coach Chesshir about the team’s mindset, upcoming matchups, and what it means to carry on the Scrapper legacy.
