  1. Those in denial will just say that this years team isn't as talented as years past. The truth is that the coaching staff ####. The truly sad part is that Turner took over a program that was already on top and he knew what it took to get there and stay there but instead he let it fall to mediocrity instead. Clean house and bring in someone who will hold these kids accountable, chew on their butts when they need it and not try to please everyone. Someone who will work the kids hard and play the best players. Turner isn't the man for the job and everyone knows it.

    No no no no and no

    we like what we have. 

    Thank you very much. 

    No we don’t.  Average isn’t good enough and we are average at best.  That’s on Turner and his below average staff.

    I didnt mind losing three games to the teams we lost to but what i do mind is how we lost. just watched the game again on youtube and never saw so many arm tackles letting the runner just keep going. Punt coverage was bad well let me say there wasnt any. blown assignments fumbles and being out of place. I do not blame the players at all there was some great plays but who I do blame is the coaches. we need a new era of coaches and clean house or this is as good as it will be for a long time. Good old boys are good old boys but that doesnt make them good coaches.

    Agreed, turner and most of the home grown Gilmer coaches need to go.  Hire one of the coordinators from Carthage and let him hire a new staff.

    Gilmer will come out hungry. 

    Gilmer hasn’t been hungry since Turner took over.   In less than four years he has taken a powerhouse and reduced it to not even mediocre.  He along with most of the coaching staff need to go.

    Hey don’t get upset because ur kid is prolly one of the kids that needs the most help lol but if u got an issue with the team then don’t come to the game if u just gonna complain. If you feel so strongly against the coaches we got then go tell them and stop being a coward hiding behind a screen 

    Don't you have something to do, like maybe getting back to mowing Albritton's yard?

    You are stupid when talking bout the test scores we got a B rating and only a handful of schools got that around here. As far as the new school goes we needed it so stop being so cheap it’s people like you that wants to cheer the kids on when they are winning but don’t wanna step up and make sure they have a good future 

    Hey stupid, what did the elementary and intermediate score? I'll Wait.   And you calling someone cheap, you probably don't even own property to pay taxes on

    I think the higher taxes are going to be because of the new high school. Don't blame football for that.

    Football has always been a scapegoat for the tax rates, for sure, though. It's why it took three tries to get the bond issue passed. I understand your frustration about our property tax system in this state. We have the sixth highest property taxes in the nation and will probably rise to the top eventually.

    I disagree about Coach Turner. As the successor to the legendary Jeff Traylor, he has done better than anyone could have expected to this point, ESPECIALLY considering the number of new coaches he's had to hire.

    The money that could have been used to properly maintain the existing school was going to the athletic program and Rick Albritton's pocket.  It is still going to Albritton, which is a shame because the test scores are pretty bad especially at the lower levels. As for Turner hiring new coaches, it seems all he's done is hire ex Buckeyes and that's not working out very well.

  8. The Gilmer program has gone down hill ever since Turner took over.  Most of the good coaches are gone and were replaced by local Gilmer guys.  Traylor left and Turner and the school board have allowed what Traylor built to be run into the ground.  Being ranked 5th is a joke, they should be 0-3 right now and looking at 0-5.  For all of you Turner supporters, ever wonder why Van didn't hire him some years back? Most people didn't mind the resources being poured into the athletic program as long as they were winning and dominant. Those days are long gone, all Gilmer is left with now is a mediocre program and HIGHER TAXES.  enjoy

  9. Gilmer has regressed every year since Turner took over at every level. He is a good coach but shouldn't be a HC. There is a reason Van didn't hire him some years back when he interviewed for the position.  We have had good coaches leave and they just get replaced with local boys that wont hold the kids accountable and are more worried about being their friends.  Turner has been here long enough to see what it took to reach and maintain that level of success but has allowed it to erode to mediocrity.   On another note, Jeff Traylor is gone so Rick Albritton should do everyone in GISD a favor and take a major paycut. He only made that much so the HC/AD didn't have a higher salary.  The taxpayers are fed up with him as well.

  10. You are right about that Mabank game 36gut, absolutely miserable.  Some foolish couple had a very young baby out in that weather. I talking almost newborn age.  They sat right in front of us and all I could think about was how stupid they had to be to bring that baby out in that sleet and wind.

  11. Snowbird, you are the one that brought it up and obvious that you have a personal connection with last years starter. It really doesn't matter if I were a water boy or an all American. I may not have even played for all you know. I do know this, you can't name a season within the last 20 years that had worse qb play. If you believe there are only a few people that felt that way then you are fooling yourself and there are several coaches that feel the same way. Bottom line, there were better choices last season and it probably cost us another title. I have no connection to any of those kids so I am unbiased unlike you. He was pretty good at handing the ball off and throwing pick sixes and that's about it so shut up about it and worry about this season. I am done with it, and am glad last year is over.

  12. Give it a break snowbird, everyone in Gilmer knows that Poppy or Rice should have started last year. If either of those two were playing we have another state title in Gilmer. Last year we had the worst qb play in Gilmer in the last 20 years and still went 14-1.
