  1. Of course White County wants to play, they have nothing else to play for. Macon on the other hand has a huge game with Livingston coming up on Friday. The winner gets a home playoff game and a much better shot of advancing in the playoffs. If I am coaching Macon, no way I play this game between now and Friday and chance of losing a player to injury, getting someone banged up, or losing a day of preparation for Livingston is too much of a risk. If the shoe was on the other foot, White County wouldn’t be too eager to play either.
  2. Congrats to Chad. I am a bit surprised by the hire, but he will do well. I was a reference for him at one of his first jobs and he hasn’t let me down yet. After watching Gallatin this year, discipline and line play seemed to be their biggest weakness. Coach Watson will improve both of those areas, so I look for Gallatin to be much improved.
  3. Maybe not negative, but if you read through it is pretty clear some Gallatin people did not want Perry at all.
  4. Wow! This guy is already being setup for failure. Pump the brakes a little.
  5. You may be right, but he got there in August of this year so not sure how much he really had to do with everything. I would think he may have a unique insight on what went wrong and what changes need to be made to get it right.
  6. Wilson won a road playoff game in 2016 then ran into the buzz saw that is Pearl Cohn. I saw what he did with less talent/speed, so I would love to see what he could do if he had multiple weapons. I am pretty sure he had a winning record at Macon, which is not something any other coach can say in the last 35-40 years. You could probably make the same argument for several coaches in the state, but make no mistake Wilson took the Gallatin job with plans to move up into the 5A/6A ranks as a head coach. He is a great leader, sound coach, and a disciplinarian. Macon did not give him the support needed to run a true program. If Gallatin will support him, he will win games the right way.
  7. I agree, which is why I suspect he didn’t apply. If all the names mentioned are accurate, then Gallatin will end up with a quality coach. I didn’t necessarily think that was the case at the start of the process, so I will admit I was wrong on that front.
  8. Nathan Wilson is who they are referring to. Dustin Wilson would have been a great candidate as well.
  9. Did he apply? Gwave1 do you have any unofficial list of who applied, or at least who they interviewed?
  10. I will put it like this, give some of those coaches the talent Brunetti or Broome had at a 3A/4A level and there would at least be a silver ball in the trophy case. I have watched Pearl lose for 4-5 straight years in the playoffs with superior talent. An African American may be just what Gallatin needs to reach the kids on a personal level, but I can promise from a pure coaching standpoint Broome or Brunetti would be downgrades from Williams.
  11. I agree, but if you will read some previous posts the Gallatin faithful has blatantly said “No” to a couple of names thrown out. If they are the best “fit” or not it is concerning when people do that before a hire is even made. Support the coach and staff and success will follow. That is true just about anywhere, but it takes true support and not just lip service.
  12. I wouldn’t say crappy , but not a juggernaut schedule for sure. He has beaten all the teams in Sumner/Wilson counties the last two years. Beat Blackman this year and gave Oakland all they wanted with inferior talent. I am speaking more to the big name/splash hire. I know there are “good” coaches on the list I had above, but I am not sure the Gallatin faithful will be happy with those. If you hire Perry, nobody can say Gallatin didn’t try.
  13. People I know in Wilson County say the new school is splitting the Mt. Juliet zone and he will lose some athletes. Also heard he may consider just moving to the new school once it opens. Coaches go where the talent is.
  14. I will admit I do not know his personal history with Gallatin. I do know that Mt. Juliet is 31-5 the last three years in the states highest classification and was hands down the second best team in 6A this year. If there are others better than this to apply let’s hear them. I have heard: Perry, Watson, Wilson, Waggoner, Brunetti, Broome.
  15. If Trey Perry applied, then the search/interview process should have stopped immediately.
