Why did Creasy interview for the job if he didn't want to come here? It certainly wasn't to get a raise at TC, since he left anyway...

Normally I would agree. But changes were made last off season and we see how that turned out. As for the difference in competition... The same argument was made about Creasy when he interviewed for the job. We see what he has done in just his first year at Oakland. People argued that Quarles would suffer from tougher competition when Maryville moved up, but they are as dominant as ever. Coaches who win at the level of these guys simply find ways to win, no matter the classification.

I'm gonna go ahead and put it out there. Gallatin needs to go after Darren Bowling from Union City. I'd make him say no. Tornadoes have won 37 in a row, averaged like 60 points a game, and had 4 shutouts this year. Coaches like that are very rare in this state, and since we screwed up by not hiring Creasy, we need to go after a guy like Bowling.

I certainly didn't mean to spark an argument. I'm merely concerned about the football program I've loved since I was old enough to know what a football was. It hurts to see Gallatin in such a dilapidated state. I understand rebuilding years. Talent is cyclical. But we are getting absolutely blown out by our competition lately. The most frustrating thing about all this to me is that since Calvin Short left, we have been systemic in turning down the right coach - only to hire the wrong one. Joslin instead of Rankin... Williams instead of Crabtree or Creasy... (Yes, all those coaches wanted the Gallatin job) The problem starts with the administration and QB club. Speaking of that, who is the current president of the gallatin qb club? if what I heard is correct, it's a beech alum??? Surely that information isn't true, right? Smh... I just don't get it. Gallatin has the talent pool, the money, the facilities, the fan support, and the tradition. Heck, we even have huge businesses (Gap, Beretta, etc...) to recruit players and parents like they do at Maryville and Alcoa. The one thing Gallatin lacks is leadership at an administrative and coaching level that demands excellence. Perhaps those days are gone for good, but I sure hope not.

I think it's pretty clear that Williams isn't going to be winning any championships at Gallatin. He's currently at .500 since his start as HC if my math is correct. Here's my question... What would Crabtree and Hatfield have done with this very same roster? I think it's a valid question, seeing as they are the competition every year. This is a very unimaginative staff, and I think that has shown with how teams have been scheming us as of late. The biggest question of all, however, is how much does the administration care? Does the principal, AD, QB club, etc have a desire to win championships? Recent history has said no...

Awesome game. MJ got all the calls in the first half, but they seem to have gone in favor of the Wave in the 2nd. Banks and Redding had a huge game, combining for over 300 yards of offense. Also, does anybody have an injury update on Mason? I saw that they had his ankle iced and elevated. Hopefully just a sprain, because we are going to need him going into the playoffs. Great win for Gallatin, and hats off to MJ for fighting till the last second. Their record doesn't indicate the grit of that team. Go Green Wave!

to my knowledge, creasy didnt apply for the westmoreland job... crabtree did, as well as several other jobs. you cant say with a straight face that there arent problems happening/going to happen at beech. its pretty evident that he wants out.

i think so gwave... you'd think he would be spending his free time not to post on high school message boards, but to work on penetrating the lane. dude needs some practice. dont get me wrong, he is a great shooter... but come on jenkins, be more athletic for goodness sake. btw, is everyone simply overlooking the fact that crabtree obviously doesnt want to be at beech anymore? yet, many ppl are putting them at the top of the district. i just dont see it. team chemistry will be an issue this year for the bucs.

maybe if you would stop coming up with stupid nicknames for schools that clearly already have nicknames (and coaches too iirc), one could understand the jibberish you are putting on here. im expecting it to come down to hville, gtown, and mj - with the edge to the commandos. beech will go 5-5, maybe 6-4... perry will have mj winning 7 or more games, but the wing t will be their demise in the playoffs - yet again. hendersonville could be anywhere from a 6 win team to a 9 win team. same goes for gallatin. the oakland game is going to be tough, as they return alot. i wouldnt be surprised if they win their district. sc will be the same ole bison. great athletes, poor coaching. portland, lebanon, and wc really arent worth mentioning - although, i could see either the cats or the blue devils sneaking into that last playoff spot if things go their way. but im telling you guys.... if by some miracle we hire kevin creasy, get ready for alot of undefeated regular seasons from gallatin.

lol @ this list... beech will NOT win the district... and the fact that you dont have gallatin anywhere on this list is a sign of true ignorance.

ya know, its really no wonder the state of tn ranks so poorly in education. every time a classroom gets more than 30 kids, they have to build a new one.

Fact: Paris is not just a town in Henry County, but also a city in France. Fact: The French are sissies Coincidence? I think not...

This guy cracks me up.

They haven't actually. But I have heard some ramblings about how Sumner County owns your field... I've got an idea. You guys should forfeit home field advantage in the 4th round. Because it is inevitable that you will see either us, Hville, Beech, or Station Camp... I loathe the other three, so since you guys can't beat a sumner co team at home, maybe you should just try to travel down this way if you don't end up playing us. I'd like your chances better that way.
