a good football coach who’s already in the county who would be a great hire is former Sycamore head coach Gary Halstead.  

If the hire is Gary Halstead then Cheatham County just made an excellent hire.  Coach Halstead won 38 games in 7 seasons as head coach at Sycamore High School and they reached the Quarterfinals in 2006 and the Second Round in 2008.

Congrats to Gary Halstead on officially being named the new head football coach at Cheatham County.

Glad we finally got a good coach.  Wenning and Boyd made a good hire.

If you didn't like West you won't like Halstead. That's who taught West a lot about coaching.

I'm very sure that Coach Halstead will call the plays.  He's been an OC since 1998 and even held that title while he was the head coach at Sycamore from '04-'10.  I believe I know who the DC is going to be as well.  A good football coach with lots of years experience as a head coach and a DC.  The Cubs will be well coached and they'll have some hard working young men who will played with tremendous effort and great intensity.  I look for them to be back in the playoff picture at the end of this upcoming season.

Except Halstead is a good coach who kids want to play for apparently.  West is a lunatic who scared the kids away from wanting to play.

Halstead needs to start recruiting the hallways, some of the better athletes don’t even play football. A few on basketball and baseball team that would be good football players. I would also think about keeping Coach Hobbs, (whether you like him or not,) personally I don’t know him but he does a fantastic job of involving the community. Best I’ve seen at that school.

You're right.  Jeff does a great job at promoting the student-athletes at CCCHS.  Every program needs a guy who will go all out to try to get the kids to the next level.  I also think that hiring Jon Offutt to come on staff and run the defense was an excellent hire.  Between Gary Halstead calling the offense and Jon Offutt calling the defense the Cubs will have 25-30 years of experience directing both sides of the football in 2020.  Another guy that has coached at Cheatham County (and at Sycamore with Halstead) before is Wes Proctor.  He was a great high school player and is a great coach.  I'd imagine he could also be a candidate to coach on the Cubs staff next season.
