dillonpanthers Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 The first name that sticks out to me is Lane at Pine Tree. Is either coordinator in line for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HasBeen81 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Easy...Coach Metzel -Gilmer- (already on staff and knows the Gilmer way) 2nd Choice: Coach Lane -Pinetree- (has headcoaching experience and knows the Gilmer way) 3rd Choice: Coach Nally -Melissa- (East Texas boy thats has head coaching experience and offensive guru that would fit Gilmer perfectly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsfanatic1 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I'm gonna say Darren Preston will at least make the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a Lateral move based on classification. Nally is not the AD at Melissa, so it would be a jump in pay and title if he were to get the Gilmer job!

nationalpastime Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I'll go ahead and say Daniel Swaim. I heard he was seen at Bubba's grabbing a quick bite on his way to "drop by". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word of the street is he is looking to come back to East Texas. Also, I don't he is the AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ1000 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 This should be a pretty good gig. Expectations are high so hopefully Gilmer gets a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomlandry Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 How about taking one of the lowest performing football schools in ETX and turning them into a consensus playoff team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcatwillis79 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Tom Landy is right. Lane is clear choice here. Pine Tree was once an easy win on everyone’s schedule and Coach Lane has really change the culture at PT. No one in that district looks forward to playing the pirates now. They have brought back smash mouth football. If the Buckeyes want to return to the glory days- then Lane better be their guy. If not, be ready for more high expectations but poor outcomes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
