SHillBuckeye Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Interesting. Do they hire within and keep the same system intact, or hire new blood and change things up? Personally, I think they need to hire someone who coaches with intensity, fire and a cut throat mentality! They haven’t had that since Jeff left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilmer changing anything would be a surprise. Gilmer prides in tradition and I would be shocked if they hired anyone without Gilmer ties or inside hire. Someone who can have that swagger and charisma of Jeff, but still run the same system is what I expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFFL2011 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 If they hire within would it be Alan Metzel? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No telling how many will apply for this job. Do you think they will go with a proven HC or a very good coordinator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillonpanthers Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 My first thought is the PT coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven’t had that since Jeff left. This is exactly what I think we need. I'm not sure if the board will spend the money to bring a big name, proven head coach, though. My inclination is to say they won't, which is sad. We need somebody who will hold the coaches and the players accountable for lack of preparation and performance, and instill the discipline we have sorely missed the last 3 or so years. I'm not sure if we have somebody on the staff now that has that ability or not. If they hire within, which I kinda hope they don't, it'll likely be Alan Metzel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Drennan or the T-High coach might be quite interested. Art Briles comes to mind with the faith & forgiveness GHS has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbk5280 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Going to be interesting next year for sure. Turner was a good man and hope he enjoys retirement. Whoever comes to play I hope they are intense and can coach these guys up to gain max potential. We will see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackflag79 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 By the way, I felt like I already knew who Matt was talking about, but I wasn't going to put it out there until it was official. I wonder if any big names out there are interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Metzel and Barr have to be the first coaches asked to lead. Lane at PT would be next I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineman1988 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I do not know who or what Matt is referring to but I know kids were told today of one HC leaving. It’s how Matt Stepp described “Pretty High Profile school” . Depending on who they hire to replace him there could be 2 HC open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepp acted like the name they were hiring is suprising The more surprising is who they passed on... Fiacco has the ability to do well. Not much raw talent to work with, but he is a S&C guy. Definition of a player development type coach. If he can get players to buy in, and gets some time, I think he could be the kind of guy that could make a school like that competitive. Cleveland's big problem is their rapid growth. Very likely a 6A the next alignment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
