Yes hated what happened to him. Great man and coach.

Gwave...yep. I just named two counties but I did think about adding Sumner. Could have went even farther and included Shelby and Knox. Again metro has good coaches. Brunetti at PC has had a lot of success. East has had success with two different coaches, CR had one great year. But other coaches in other counties have had the same success. Back to topic, hope Overton gets a good coach. The good ones in the past stuck around awhile. Coutras, Mullican, and Anderson were all there several years. The last several coaches did not stay long. Any chance an alum comes home?

Metro has had really good coaches, and really bad coaches. Yes kids get the credit when a team wins, and coaches take the heat when they lose. Always been this way I suppose. As for metro being the only county sending multiple schools to state...... Rutherford: Riverdale, Oakland, Smyrna Williamson: Brentwood, Ravenwood, Indy, Summit Only difference is these are schools that won, not just went. Come on now metro coaches deserve credit but don't act like they are the cream of the crop as a whole.

I have heard a very intriguing name has applied for this job. I am honestly shocked this person would even be interested with the experience he has. I will be the first to admit I was wrong about Overton having a hard time finding a veteran coach. Only question is, will Overton see this coach as the right fit?

Tough region to try and compete in. I hope I am wrong but I think they will have a hard time finding a veteran coach with experience. Overton should have fought to stay with the other metro schools.

Personally I think it's very smart move. Great coach, experienced head coach, and knows the area well. LA is lucky to get someone with his experience and knowledge.

Lipscomb no significant history......GM had a lot of success. He was one of the best coaches from the mid-state.

Just saw where they are hiring DM. I thought they wanted personality. Someone to get the fans excited. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see this as an exciting hire.

Announcer you keep changing your agenda. Is it magnet schools, facilities, or talent? Guess you just go with whatever you haven't used yet. Keep going. I'm done. Are you Kreager? His topics are all over the place too......classification by success factor, playing in a dome to avoid weather, oh and grilling.

Not better, but just as good. Very similar schools with very similar resources. I see you are resorting to jokes since you have nothing else.

Congrats fan and firebird.

Announcer, that is not at all what I said. But having good facilities does play a part. So does having good resources. Show me a team that has won a gold or silver ball in the last few years that doesn't have good facilities and resources.

Not sure how east is now, but when I worked there it was a lottery school. Also, transportation was not provided. Most students walked, rode the city busses, or were dropped off by others. We also did not manipulate our enrollment. Again, I'm not there any more but that is how it was. Why don't you Mr. Announcer do some research and let us know what you find out. Also, why don't you look at the facilities and resources of those that win state championships this year. Do facilities make a difference, heck yes they do. If you think otherwise you are clueless.

From the outside, it appears as though GP is about as good now as they have ever been. Some kids and some parents will always find a way to complain about coaching. I would say GP staff must be doing a pretty good job if they made it a few rounds into the playoffs.

Melrose is an area just south of downtown Nashville.
