I thought I was the only one that felt this way but I digress. It definitely wasn't about resume comparisons

Sounds like you have all the answers already . So you tell me how you would fix it

Demographics are no where near similar to Murfreesboro / Clarksville. On the other hand I think the mentioned counties school system make up and structure is way better than metro . I don't anyone in metro board of Ed has a clue

This wardummy guy is in over his head. He must be at a school that can't or haven't beat a metro school. He knows so much about it for someone who doesn't care . This guy just made up a son that he doesn't have or can't play dead in a western . Pearl Cohn Cane Ridge , Hillsboro, and Maplewood all have had state appearances in the past 10 years please name another county with this many appearances better yet name the school you're with and see how they came out in the last 10 year

Heck yeah there is some issues we all know that , but their playing field is alot different then the surrounding counties . I just don't like the down play of metro coaching . Metro has some good coaches there .

You just stayed the issue come from predominantly African American areas . Typical . But they are not the only ones . An all out brawl occurred is East TN twice and I guess that doesn't register . Not a scuffle , not a altercation but a brawl

You don't have to watch you can leave or close your eyes. You don't know what goes on in these inner city kids lives. There were several county School fights as well . Heck your on coach t I know you saw the suspensions. Metro just gets the black eye . Once again you are point at the African American communities which is comical . Yes it is wrong and shouldn't happen but when fighting is a survival defense for some kids that's all they know . But you don't have that problem living where you live . You can't judge someone when you're not from their upbringing. You actually sound real racist

How so ?

People have a problem with the facts . If Eddie woods or Brunetti can't get the job then it has to be that . And the race card is how some keep or get jobs so you use it as well.

Yet you cared enough to type all that. First off racial backlash is the only reason some coaches wouldnt get a job in another county , metro has some good coaches and outsiders would touch a metro job due to the demographics. Metro face a lot more adversity so what you're saying is invalid . Everybody has controversy, siegal loses coaches every year , Blackman back stabs their coach each time they get a new one , Gallatin didn't get who they wanted , Stewart's Creek had internal issues and hired a mediocre coach, so don't act like outsiders are perfect . Metro has had more state appearances in the last 10 years than any other county or close to it . You're just an outsider guy that runs his trap on here constantly about metro for someone who is in the country . If you line your county schools / area schools up against CR PC HB MW EN I guarantee you wouldn't disrespect metro coaching . Woods, Brunetti, Fitzgerald, Broome, Gore, Williams, Waite , are all good metro coaches . There isn't any one you think highly of that come in and do any better than some of these coaches . Metro is dealt a different hand and I commend these guys for what they do. They don't have the luxury of teaching drivers Ed and leadership and relax in the field house til practice , the deal with real kids with alot of real issues every day . So how bout you zip it and move to another page

Work I like Your enthusiasm but there is no way Brunetti leaves PC for Hillwood. Gore could be a good hire at Overton but I see that as a long shot as well.

We seem to always lose focus on the topic at hand . Antioch? Hillwood? Overton? Any more openings possibly in the future?

Overton loses majority of their kids to BA, Lipscomb, father Ryan.. but that's ok they get a pass

Just heard it is true... Overton is open. Antioch and hillwood are progressing to their targets both good guys

Wow haven't heard that but after what their principal said in the article in the Tennessean it sounded like it was coming.

Lol kids just want to go there just like they want to go to Pearl , Maplewood, Hillsboro and East . They just want to attend these schools as well. Blackman RB didn't move but he was recruited by Blackman coach to come there ... And renting an apartment in Murfreesboro for the time being isn't ethical . If it was vice versa of who the coaches were all heck would break loose

You shouldn't have to move for them to attend another school. I have no dog in the fight but of my kids were still in high school and I lived by Hunters Lane or WC there is no way I would send them there. If it's better for my child I would send them wherever need be. No one gripes about privates doing it even the great Rutherford county. Nobody talked down on Creasy and how he got numberous highly recruited transfers as well as overrated Blackman... Those guys are JUST GREAT COACHES . Where was all the " cheating and recruiting " backlash at then . Who couldn't coach coach Oakland and Blackman and be that dominant . It's just frowned upon when it happens in metro.

I don't understand why these coaches/ guys whoever think kids would want to continue to attend an unsuccessful program l

Anyword on Antioch or Hillwood coaching search?

I do not know him . I saw that online

HL named their coach.... Preston Scott. Did he help run the defense or just on staff?

They both have a silver ball so what is your point ? Gallatins team 2017 and 2016 were loaded and Broome or Brunetti would have had them last second round of can guarantee that . Didn't Broome beat Macon County several times over the past years ? Since you're so highly of those guys? Athletes are nice to have but you still have to coach . Those coaches lose to other teams as well with better or equal talent or they get out coached too. There's only one winner at the end of the year . Broome has beat marshall county as well and they had equal athletes as well. So continue you on with your point

I know you don't have an issue with it by the way you talk on here. You just have a deep love for Gallatin and want to see them get back to the good days . That's what matters to you and that's what should matter . It's the other posters that have been talking ridiculously. I say the best coach for the program that believes Gallatin should be the job no matter skin color or where they have been previously .

Well what's the difference of when the other coaches you've mentioned gets beat in the playoffs? They just got beat by a better team? They still are great coaches? Cut the bull I honestly think y'all don't think an African American coach will be welcomed in Gallatin. Cause you continue to talk about metro coaches and they have accomplished more than the guys you've named even Perry . So cut the crap about metro coaches would be a down grade. Their days is 10x harder than a Macon county , trousdale , or Sumner county day . So don't discredit their coaching . I know of one of the metro coaches that interviewed got the job , Gallatin kids would run through a wall for him and they would get better instantly . Coaching is relationships , x/o s , and culture . Which is what's needed in Gallatin . Good luck to Gallatin on the search . Some of you guys are idiots

Its been done for years but I don't agree with it but the thing is you cant force a tenured teacher out over coaching which will be the case at Antioch I believe. I believed its been said that they have 4-5 that work there and coach else where.
