Any thoughts on who will replace him? I've heard Chad Long and Brian Colatruglio mentioned, as well as the O-G coach and Chris Hawkins from Galion.

My vote goes to Chad Long....for obvious reasons

I wouldn't be surprised to see Brian Colatruglio leave HL after a successful run. Its definitely a good time to leave the program for a higher division.

It's been a bizarre last couple of weeks regarding coaches in the NOL. Talks of Solis leaving Shelby, Hawkins a finalist for the Madison job, then turning it down, and now Gilbert leaving TC.

I have known Steve Gibert for over 30 years and have always had the utmost respect for him. His record speaks for itself and the program is much better having had Steve as it's coach all these years. I hope you will continue to work the track meets at Columbian. I always enjoy visiting with you.
