BallCoach615 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 What's the connection with Trey Perry? What about a guy like Nathan Wilson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENWAVE84EG Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 The coaching search will begin immediately, although I don't think there'll be a super big rush to get someone quickly. There doesn't need to be. There's already been a number of names tossed around. It will definitely be interesting to see how it plays out.

Maybe earlier than that. Coach Watson and his whole family are just super people, I've loved them from day 1 back when the announcement was made in December of 2018. I'm thankful to call them friends. I'm also thankful for the positives he brought to Gallatin. He did some really good things. Unfortunately the nature of the beast when coaching at most high school programs that have had any kind of success, if you don't win you don't stay. That's just how it works. We want to wish him and his family the very best at where he lands. So was he asked to leave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eers Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 1 hour ago, GWAVE1 said: There are some names that have been thrown out that I just question. The popular name seems to be Wes Inman. But why?? 4-7 and 6-6 does not excite me as a head coach. I know some of his “buddies” are gonna push for him but I see no reason to think this is a homerun hire by any stretch. Just because you have Gallatin ties or played for coach Short does not mean success here. Don’t be shortsighted on other possible candidates. Here are some names you will hear and some you may not (but probably should): Perry - Mt Juliet Brooks - East Robertson Stewart - East Nashville Powell - Smith County Alexander - Station Camp Hatfield - TTU Joslin Some on the list will have no interest, but I would still try to talk to them.

I would add Adam Caine at Upperman on the list, and also Nathan Wilson at Beech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWAVE1 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Adam Caine I think would be my first target Trey Perry….not a good fit and he had his chance 4 years ago Nathan Wilson would need a really good staff Brooks, he was here for only a year. Just not enough info on him and I doubt he leaves what he has in ER Stewart at East is an interesting name Powell….not really excited about that name Alexander…not coming Inman…lot of interest from some but not a proven commodity at this point Beasley… does he have enough of a varsity resume…. he would intrigue me Overton…I would love him on the staff as an OC, maybe not HC yet Chad had a lot of outside distractions, fair or unfair. The expectations here are high. I wish him well and bet he will make a huge impact at his next stop. I wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But winning is a heavyy pressure felt being a coach at Gallatin where it is expected to be a winning program. Don't mistake me for saying it needs to be championship expectations from the fans year in & year out I'm not saying that. (Although that should be on every coach and player's mindset whether it happens or not.) If he goes to new school he can be closer to where he lived, and start up a new program that doesn't have pressure. He can build it in progression. Didn't know he was from Clarksville, that makes sense that he would go back there. Football not too hot in Clarksville, not many teams with a winning record 2 or 3 at most.

I think he could win there. Nathan Wilson would need a really good staff Good coach. Kids love him and coaches would coach with him. Brooks, he was here for only a year. Just not enough info on him and I doubt he leaves what he has in ER He wouldn’t be interested, but I would call. Stewart at East is an interesting name Near the top of my list. Powell….not really excited about that name Has coached at good programs in three different states and 3 state championships, plus you would get his son who may be the best player on the team day 1. Alexander…not coming No he’s not, but I would make him say no… multiple times. Inman…lot of interest from some but not a proven commodity at this point I like Inman, but I think the lights are too bright. Hasn’t proven he can win. Beasley… does he have enough of a varsity resume…. he would intrigue me Maybe one day, but I think where he’s at is good for him. Overton…I would love him on the staff as an OC, maybe not HC yet Not ready for that pressure. I see you left Joslin off?
