If Catie is wanting to leave, USJ or Dyersburg would be a WAY better job that South Gibson. That would be a very bad move on her part in my opinion.

I agree Summertown is a better job now and even USJ but if she comes in with some swagger and let’s the administration know I am coming in to win titles and changes the culture it could be a big time job especially if the administration gives her the keys and gets out of the way. I could see a big time girls program developed their. They have the talent and the school numbers. They just need major gym reps starting early.

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

Randy did well leaving Dyersburg going to Riverdale and I expect the Ayers to do well as well. They both work extremely hard and we know the kind of talent they have at Riverdale and they are bringing a super talent in their child to Murfreesboro. Good luck on finding property to live at a respectable price.

USJ and Dyersburg is not a better job than South Gibson in my opinion. It may be a little more money but that’s it...

Dyersburg is a rebuild situation. USJ is out of Jones sisters, don’t offer financial aid to athletes. Webb (Bell Buckle) is about to be really good in Division II-A for the next few years, going to be hard to beat for a state championship. 

South Gibson is young with talent. Only district competition is South Side. They have a chance to be in sub-state next year for the first time in school history. They have a great middle school program/situation. A thriving community.... South Gibson may not be as talented as what Summertown was this last year, but she will establish her system at South Gibson and win big.

South Gibson will not compete with South Side and the other side of that region is not a cake walk for sure. Hardin County and Chester will both be pretty good. McNairy and Lexington not so much but the semi final game of the region will be tough for South Gibson.

Like I have said earlier I do think this is the type hire they need. A “culture changing” hire. She needs to come in and make a splash if she is the hire. My family and myself will support her and her husband and the community will because lots of basketball folks in the community are starving for a good coach and a good girls program. Do think it will take a minute to get going but she is the type hire they need.

My line of thinking also. Both Dyersburg and USJ have built in situations that won't be an obstacle at South Gibson, and the talent base is there to do well. South Side will be hard to beat for the near future, but the opening of JCM will siphon off some talent at worst, and could cause bigger problems for the Hawks program long term. Not a cakewalk, but the major pieces to do well are all there.

They lost to Haywood in a substate game back 5-6 years ago. Check your history sir.

I checked my history and I stand corrected.

It appears to me that everyone is looking at the South Gibson job for what it is right now. I’m looking at the job knowing the capability of Embry as a coach and what she can do with that program. If she does wind up going there, South Gibson will be really good once she gets her program and system established. That will take a few years.

If Wilkins would have had that talent with what he had they would have won three Gold Balls back to back. Even 1 or 2 of them would have had the same result. Unbelievable what Gibson County has done and their success after turning 1 school into 2. That South Gibson team was loaded with talent.

Think you might be overstating SG talent a bit. USJ and Dyersburg could be just as easily fixed as SG. Both of those schools have better cultures in place too. Will SG middle school program continue to be the great if they pass over that coach for high school job? AAA is not going to be an easy place to win.

It isnt a bad job but its not perfect

I agree it will take a minute to get going and change the culture at South Gibson. Do think a really good coach could create a big time transfer market with big time players because of the real estate market and the big time inflow they have coming in any way.

    • 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.
