Gallatin Green Wave Grumors

Take it easy man. Give the head coach a chance to prove! He is technically 15-6 in 3 years as head coach at a Clarksville NE program that had missed the playoffs entirely the year before he took over. That isnt bad. Let's see what he can do at Gallatin 

This thread has been spot on it seems. Greatone and Gwave1 will have to admit this hire is nothing but vindication for the “outsiders” that said Gallatin was no longer a desired job. You just hired a coach that has never won a TSSAA playoff game. There were 5-6 names in this thread that had better credentials than what you ended up with. You guys will throw out all those “big names” that applied, but those guys do that everywhere. That’s how they get better deals for themselves. Quit living in the past and realize Gallatin just isn’t relevant any longer from a state perspective.

With all that being said, Watson is a good young coach and will be successful if given support and time. I fear the unrealistic expectations of people like Greatone and Gwave1 will ultimately result in him being a short timer in Gallatin.

What exactly have they said that makes you think their expectations are unrealistic? Not like they're expecting them to go 10-0 every year. There is potential at Gallatin still, if the HC is given the resources and support needed to play at a high level, they're going to thrive under Watson

I don’t know much about him, so I will not say much. What I will say is that this is not the hire that the Gallatin faithful were anticipating.

The fact that they think this is still a premier program is what I refer to. That alone tells me that their expectations do not align with reality. Watson will be successful if given support and time, but I worry what happens if he comes out and goes 4-6.

They gave Williams 6-7 years as a HC. Don't think they're gonna have a quick trigger finger

I readily admit he was not my #1.  If my guy would have gotten here then you would never have commented.  And he was very very close to being here, if not for his wife I am hearing.  

Chad Watson is not a splashy hire but I do not think anyone on the short list wanted it more. He interviewed great and really really wanted the job.  That to me says at least one thing, he wants to be here for some reason.  We will support him fully and knowing what I know he might just surprise you and several others.

People have seriously twisted my words. I have not named a head coach in this entire thread. I have been very realistic. It's ridiculous how much these haters try to down Gallatin. I havent seen this amount of hate towords any other team in any of these boards. Why all the hate for Gallatin? All those years of @$$ whoopings having some people feeling a type of way? 

GO GREEN WAVE

“Nobody on the short list wanted it more” = Everyone else on the “short list” turned us down. If wanting the job is the only requirement, then congratulations you got your man!

Congrats to Chad. I am a bit surprised by the hire, but he will do well. I was a reference for him at one of his first jobs and he hasn’t let me down yet. After watching Gallatin this year, discipline and line play seemed to be their biggest weakness. Coach Watson will improve both of those areas, so I look for Gallatin to be much improved.

Gallatin will get behind Coach Watson, no need for anybody else to approve or not. The main thing is, get straight to work and let's get better in 2019.
