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.

Just go get David Wilkins and all kinds of kids will transfer in.
