You don’t know Sumner Co very well at all. If the school board will not fully 100% cooperate you will always fall short of your potential.

School Board has 8 high schools to deal with and Gallatin is not their top priority. We seem to do more by ourselves. They have been reluctant to implement needed upgrades. The good thing is the Director is stepping down and a new one will be in place. The community will rally with a guy that starts winning. Getting the 2 feeder schools on the same page is a must. I do not see that being an issue unless they stick with that flexbone mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a must that you have one academic program (Oakland has the International Baccalaureate/IB) program where any child in Sumner County may attend GHS. The zone for GHS is not large enough to get enough athletes that you need to win at the highest level. Don’t forget that Maryville also is able to get any kid from Blount County into Maryville High School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoa has a system to get them in outside of Blount county also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want to believe that these programs that consistently compete for state titles are doing it with kids that live within a 5 mile radius of the school. As you know it just does not work that way today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only help where I can and try to take the burden off of some small things. Dr Becker is the man in charge and he appears very determined to get things straightened out. I have my favorites but whomever he hires, I will support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right coach will come in and put their own stamp on the facilities anyway. Absolutely Gallatin needs some upgrading. If Caine doesn’t want that to be part of his job description, that’s fine. Someone will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t have a vision and are scared of upgrades and some paint, then this is not a job for you. Surely Caine is better than that! Pretty sure final money has not been discussed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
