Matt Turner is on the verge of succeeding Jeff Traylor in Gilmer

Coach Turner was the one I wanted all along. I am glad he finally agreed to do this.

That's who my vote was going to. I just hope he can keep the staff together. Congrats to Coach Matt Turner!

That's awesome

I think we will lose Kurt Traylor, though. I hope not, but that's what I'm hearing.

I hear crickets...Matt is an excellent choice...recon Jeff will teach him how to do the Sideline Stomp?

I don't think I've ever even seen Coach Turner on the sideline since he's been at Gilmer. He's always up in the box during the games, as most OCs are, I guess.

This reminds me of a head coach Gilmer had 25 years ago named Doug Busch. IIRC, he always coached from up in the box even though he was the head man.

I wonder how Matt will like the sideline...who goes to OC? QB? OL?

Assuming everyone stays, I would say Metzel to OC with Olan Johnson taking QB coach.
