GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Josh Niblett's hire sent shockwaves around the state in December.

Niblett was hired away from Hoover High School in Alabama, where he won six state championships in his 14 seasons, to take the helm of the Gainesville program.

Since he officially started at Gainesville in February, the transformation of Big Red has taken flight.

We stopped by practice last week to catch up with the Red Elephants and Niblett.

Niblett is our fifth new area coach to grab the mic in our Mic'd Up series.
