Gallatin coaching situation

[DS2001]

Coach Lussier at Father Ryan is really struggling to fill out a staff. About 6 teaching positions are currently being held by former assistant coaches. Also, assistant Danny Francescon stepped down during spring practice.

 

One tidbit: it looks as if former Head Coach Robert Jemison is leaving to become the Athletic Director at Harding Academy, a K-8 private school here in Nashville.

I`m Happy for Robert, he is a great guy. He was going to be in an awkward situation if he stayed at Ryan.

 

Also heard that former BA head coach Tom Moore is moving back to Nashville from Ohio. He is in Private business, but I wonder if he will be coaxed back into coaching as maybe a volunteer assistant. I will never get over how he was hung out to dry by "King Carlton" during the coup de tat of 2001 over at BA.

Tom deserved better than that.

Has Coach Lassiter completed his staff, and if so who did he hire?

Does anyone if Coach Walls has found a job in Alabama? Would be nice to hang on to him for one more season, but I know he wants to be with his family.

 

Also, any luck on an OC? Hope we aren't cutting too close. We need to get these guys in the system ASAP.

 

There are still rumors about both Dewayne Alexander & Brent Alexander. How are things shaping up at Wilson Central?

Dewayne Alexander is set in stone at Wilson Central, he got everything he wanted.

 

Brent Alexander is still under contract with the Giants for the next 2 years.

 

Offensive Coor. is still Porter.

 

Walls I heard found a job in Alabama. I also heard that he would return for the first semester only. Frankly I do not know what to believe!!

 

As it stands right now--Porter-runningbacks and Qb coach, Lassiter-O-line, Wilson Dbs and special teams, Dunn -recievers, and Hardy d-line and linebackers.

 

Pat Dyer from Macon Co. came really close to being on staff but no dice.

Gallatin has added 2 new coaches this week. Coach Settle from Davidson Ac and coach Sanders from Georgia. Settles will coach the linebackers and Sanders will be the new O-line coach.

What happened to Gallatin as a Football Power? I left the state for Military Service from 84-94 and when I started following HS Football again, I noticed Gallatin wasn't the great Green monster they had been in the past. When did things start to decline?

I watched a few games at the Gallatin stadium in the late 70's and the early 80's. It was a great place to watch a game. It felt like the entire town came out to watch the games.

I'm just guessing....new schools and rezoning?

Coach Settles actually was a coach at East Robertson last year. We really hate losing him.

 

He is a very good coach--besides being a nice person. Good with young people and parents alike.
