Nathan Wilson is not an option at this point in my opinion.  In fact no one on staff is.  You have to get this hire right and get an established winner.  Bottom line you cannot screw it up.  

Not sure why Wilson wouldn’t be an option. He won at Macon County, which is something most others couldn’t do. He did this competing with inferior talent to the metro teams/Springfield he was paired in the region with. With the athletes Gallatin has, his system would be fun to watch.

He was on staff at Gallatin one year, so not real sure that is a big issue. His whole reason for going to Gallatin was to get experience in a larger program and get a head coaching job in the 5A/6A classification. Gallatin would be lucky to have him from a discipline standpoint and I believe he could get the job done and return Gallatin back to prominence. For what Gallatin has in athletes, they lack in discipline.

Nathan Wilson, NO! Dustin Wilson, Maybe!  Again Gallatin, should have had someone in mind before this occured! I just don't think athletes are what they used to be at Gallatin! Crabtree is Great coach, but he does have athletes to work with! Are they going to leave this up to Becker? He appears to be clueless, athletically speaking! 

GO JACKETS!

I don't know that Dustin Wilson would be interested, as he's at his alma mater and winning at a pretty good clip.  He's also the AD, so I don't know if there's money associated with that or not.  Either way, he's in complete control where he's at.

Crabtree has athletes, but not what Gallatin has year in year out, but not sure what that has to do with this conversation, he's not going anywhere.  His son is a junior and they are going to be better next year than this year.  No chance he leaves at this point.

There may be other people either currently at Beech or previously at Beech who would be good hires and maybe interested, but not Crabtree.

How are the athletes down like you say?? They STILL had the best, maybe 2nd best raw talent in the entire county this year regardless of the record. They aren't Portland, they aren't Lebanon. They are not losing games because of having less talent......

Mt Juliet, Beech, Hendersonville were all better! I can't defend loss to SC! BAD! Just my opinion GHS will never be the power they once were! If they go to 6a in a couple years, this coach will be like starting over!   Should have waited one more year then possibly could have had Crabtree! Just my opinion!

GO JACKETS!

I know there are a lot of coaches that realize Gallatin has the best athletes in the county. Will they have down years? Sure, but they will always have athletes.  I know there are a lot of coaches that know you can still win there, 

I believe this hire has to be the right hire, they need to win.  I don't think it has to be a splash hire, but you better get someone that understands what it takes to win and someone that can handle the 5/6A pressures of a tradition rich program. I would imagine there will be some coaches that apply that have won championships, either as HCs or coordinators.

All three of those TEAMS were better, but I believe athletically, they were equal to or better than HHS and BHS, athletically.  MJ had better athletes.  I don't think Crabtree would have an interest.  You can win at Gallatin, but it's an uphill battle and will take some time.

MJ is not in Sumner County. And MOST years, they have less talent than Gallatin. Maybe not this year though. I will definitely argue that Gallatin had more talent this year than Beech and Hville. But were both much better than Gallatin this year though as a team with good coaching? Yes...

Why the animosity towards Nathan? You are a typical Trousdale guy. He has a winning record against you all and not many head coaches can say that. He would coach circles around Waggoner. Y’all are winning this year in spite of him. Gallatin had skill talent this year, but their line was subpar. I saw the Beech game and they manhandled Gallatin upfront. Gallatin’s lack of discipline is the number one thing that needs fixing before they return to being a contender in 5A/6A.

Not sure who handles the OL coaching at Gallatin, but Beech has a pretty good one.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
