I live in Columbia (about 20 minutes from Summertown). There’s been a lot of talk about Summertown recently. Hearing the new administration down there has been unsupportive of the coaches and several are unhappy. There was talk around here about the boys coach (who is a Summertown alum) being interested in the Mt Pleasant job. I agree with @SportsWestTN that the girls coach leaving would seem strange, but if administration there is as bad as the rumors, that might be the explanation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverHoopsFan Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Any new info coming out of White House for the girls opening? Any names? I am hearing nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they don't value their programs or the work needed during the off-season. I can’t believe South Gibson hasn’t made a hire yet. Sounds like the coaches with head coaching experience are holding out for a bigger job (USJ, Bolivar, etc). They need to go on to the next person and pull the trigger on a quality candidate.

I would consider South Gibson to be a bigger landing spot than Bolivar, but USJ definitely the biggest. There is decent talent at South Gibson and USJ. I am not sure how talented Bolivar will be. I haven't seen or heard much on the girls side down that way lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportslover88 Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I heard the USJ job was offered to the Ayers but they were going to make the wife teach an actual class instead of PE like she has been so they decided on Riverdale instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCPioneer Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) If you want quality coaches, you have to pay what it will take to get them there. South Gibson is figuring this out the hard way... Edited May 6, 2021 by GCPioneer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are wanting someone with a lot of experience and they’re trying to hold out for that? I know of 2 people who are assistants who have interviewed there, one of whom has been named in this thread, who would be a quality head coach at South Gibson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what they are looking for specifically. But like you said there are lots of good coaches that applied and still no hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a very bad move on her part in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be something going on at Summertown that she don’t like if she is ready to pack up and head west. She is a really good coach. Love their program.
