South Gibson Head Coach Opening

How attractive is this job? I do believe South Gibson will continue to grow further down the road. However, they're at the bottom on the 4A list in enrollment. They're only 9 students away from being 3A. So I don't see them moving to 5A anytime soon (I don't see them growing that fast). Why is that important? Because unless someone in Region 7-4A defeats Haywood consistently, the Tomcats are going to run this region for a while. I don't see Haywood moving to 5A either anytime soon unless the Ford "Blue Oval" project bumps them up to 5A.

First, I want to congratulate Coach Stidham on a new opportunity. His teams may never matched up talent wise against their opponents, but they're always ready to play. They're a gritty team. 

I want the new coach at South Gibson to bring a new voice and change the offense. I didn't realized how many one possession games South Gibson played over the last few seasons. I thought that was the reason why I never considered South Gibson as a "threat" to make it deep in the playoffs. I thought they never dominated in really any of their games. 

I do believe there's 3 candidates that are good fits for this program. Two of them are probably looking for a change of scenery and the other may want to be a head coach again. I do think it's an attractive job, and I don't think SGC should have to look far. But they probably should still make phone calls.

SGC is really going to miss his leadership. I wish him nothing but the best, and hope he finds what he is looking for. Wherever he lands, they are getting a great coach. I kinda had a feeling this was coming, just wanted to hope that it was not true. SGC better hire a world class coach, if not they are going to get slapped into reality. 

 

Good luck to Coach Stidham. Nothing but class on and off the field.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
