WaveGoodbye

Welcome coach! Glad to hear all the positive remarks about Stroup and his family.

Hearing some different things now. Perhaps I just need to shut up until a hire is announced.

Awful quiet around these parts….

Yes. Also, I don’t want to do anything remotely similar to the way things are done in Memphis. We really should just give it to Mississippi.

HOW MUCH MONEY DID GALLATIN OFFER ADAM CAINE????? Somebody please enlighten everyone.

Ben Herron was there from 2011-2017. He went 48-33 overall, which isn't awful. 13-1 in 2013 and 9-3 in 2015. Outside of those two years, they were pretty average. Caine has definitely elevated the program, though. Having said all that, I don't think he was offered anything either.

So you're gonna get on here and say you know how much they offered him, but you won't say how much it was? Convenient... And nobody here is going to go ask Adam Caine how much Gallatin offered him. He's not the one who got on a message board bragging about knowing how much the offer was. You did that. So let's hear how much Gallatin threw at him?

I think the reason people say that Gallatin could be great again is because of A.) talent/athleticism every year B.) tradition of winning C.) community support. Baxter will never be a hotbed for talent. Upperman has a 43%-44% win pct all time. I’m sure there is support for Upperman football, but you could fit the entire population of Baxter inside Green Wave Stadium…. 3 times…. Not hating on Upperman, I’m just saying that there really isn’t a comparison between the two programs. I do want to know how much money we supposedly offered Caine though.

How much money was he offered?

This feels like a loaded/rhetorical question

Exactly. The right coach will come in and put their own stamp on the facilities anyway. Absolutely Gallatin needs some upgrading. If Caine doesn’t want that to be part of his job description, that’s fine. Someone will.

I take it you’re from Upperman?

It’s absolutely still a top tier job. And it is still viewed as such by coaches across the state. I’m confident we are about to see things change for the better at Gallatin.

Seems Greg Ryan is available now that Knox Catholic has hired their new guy. I’m sure he’ll stay out east, but a 68-14 record sure sounds good right now.
