If East can't run the back it will be ugly. East QB wont win this one for them. Interesting to see how east will defend the wingt.

Are you drunk? They will never beat Alcoa . Their special teams have little to do with their success . Alcoa is Alcoa . That side of 3A is terrible .

You sir live on the metro chat, yet you talk about schedules and your so called powerhouse team schedule the same horrendous teams year in and year out. Grow a sack and play somebody reasonable . Glencliff, republic , Maplewood , HL , whites creek , Lawson , Stratford should never be on your schedule ... same routine year in and out , terrible schedule 9-1 10-0 , 2nd round exit

This is definitely incorrect . Quit looking for sympathy. They lifted weights, they had structure, and the cupboard wasn't bare. OL all played no one was inexperienced, the whole defense played except 1 kid #6 started as a freshman, east wouldn't have been expected to return deep in the playoffs if they were so young. QB and RB are inexperienced but the OL helps that. There's a magazine that comes out with all this info if you didn't know. Coach them up and quit making excuses for taking an L

You sir need a life . You have this man's whole background mapped out . Why didn't you pan out as a coach since you have so many answers. I mean my gosh , why didn't you get a call for those jobs or interview . Sheeshhhh. East has had tons of talent and still never went past the 2nd round you can't sugar coat that , Spears started the program , Waite got the program and they were decent , what east has done was amazing no matter how you paint it , you were there and you didn't see the playoffs in the 3rd round neither pal. Why didn't Antioch or Overton call you to follow suit? Idk what you have against him but you sound like the angry ex that got dumped . They didn't have 1 D1 kid in his tenure , Waite had 20 . 10 on 1 team I believe . Get a life my guy . Same as for Harris what he does right now is his legacy no matter what was there or not . He is being successful.

Stewart left because of lack of help in the building and support from new admin, so the list of names for the job is not surprising. DH has a good reputation but will he get the support of adding coaches in the building himself . East whole staff is gone from what I've heard so starting from square one with no previous help and unsure about getting your own guys in the building is a bad deal. I had no idea Stewart was the only coach in the building this whole time , that bonkers . It makes their success much more impressive for sure . DH is getting the job you can book that , if not EAST will descend fast .

The structure of metros discipline is terrible. Teachers are not getting beat up or anything but what outside counties deal with as far as discipline is a walk in the park . The stories I've heard are crazy. I'm know several of them from the 90s era to now and I don't care how much money it is my day job is way better than theirs . Once your settled in metro and get that pay people usually stay until peace of mind is more important. My hats off to those metro guys cause they deal with way more than these county guys. Eddie woods ,Jamal Stewart, Tony Brunetti , Arcentae Broome , and a few other guys would excel in the county schools because they can coach but wouldn't have to deal with half the situations they do now . The question is how many from the outside could stay a while in metro? I know I couldn't and wouldn't .

The teacher salary. When you change counties the money lost . Sumner is way behind here in Rutherford as well. It's a $7,000 cut metro it's more. So many hear the story that your booster will pay the difference

Is Perry sticking around? Heard he was upset..... AGAIN

Coach is a good quality coach that knows ball, he will have them up and running ! FW and Bolivar are not 2 programs full of potential, give him some time

I can't speak for him or anyone else but there is a rumor Gallatin has a brinks truck of money in their booster club to replace the money lost in county changes . Hahaha.

Honestly I'm just going off the chats information. I have no clue who has applied , but I was speaking on metro because I heard last time when AB was an option he would be losing close to 19k leaving metro .

It's going to be hard getting any metro guy , there is about an $8,000 pay difference in the teaching scale. Unless the booster club can make up the difference I don't ever see a big name Metro coach leaving. And that's just teacher pay. I don't think anyone would leave and end up making the same amount. When Gallatin is a tougher place to swim while partnering up with Murfreesboro in the playoffs Blade would be the best option cause he has built up every program he has been apart of . Only time will tell I guess.

If Stewart got that job , the Green Wave would instantly be better. He is a proven winner, he can get the kids to buy in and the culture he has created in EN in 2 years is impressive That would be a huge blow to EN. Is he even interested in leaving ? Would he take a pay cut , and why leave would be the question . I think Eddie Woods would be a great choice as well . He also is a proven winner and I know he could get those kids fired . Gallatin needs to try something new in my opinion . They need someone that can relate to the kids, make them tougher, and push them to be the best they can be. Gallatin still has great tradition and great players but they have to understand the times have changed and they need a shake up culture wise. I saw them vs CR and that loss was unacceptable for the athletes I saw on their sideline. I hope Gallatin gets this right! Good luck Green Wave fans
