Had a post wrote earlier and then deleted it because it would just sound like a Wellston guy trolling a Jackson situation and standing up for an original Wellston guy, but screw it, this is pretty ridiculous , and if you know anything about the situation you would understand what the driver is/was.

Don't rehire a guy that is clearly improving and winning (lost their sectional game to a 9 seed Warren team that played in the District Final), bringing back what has to be one of the younger clubs in their league having started multiple freshman and sophomores and only what 3 seniors? The last two coaching groups have been outstanding but someone's kid didn't play, or should have played more, or got yelled at, or got taken out of a game, or fill in the complaint blank with all the excuses there are, bleh, bleh, bleh. If you are around that city enough it don't take long to hear the parent problems. Ever see a whole family fold up their chairs or leave the bleachers when there kid doesn't play or is subbed for? Well go on down to apple town because that is how they roll. I was given about a dozen more examples just like that.

But hey lets not rehire because thats the problem , sure, got it.

Tip of the cap to former Rocket who gave it a shot and got dealt a bad hand.

It should have nothing to do with wins or losses as long as the program is improving or stable. To be honest though, to most people wins and losses mean nothing. It is about if their kid plays.

Probably like their last good baseball coach they had. Fired because he was taken away from the football team

In talking to some of the players, Graham was a great guy and a great coach, and always treated the team with respect. The firing of Graham shows how corrupt our school board and Phil Howard are. They also scared off assistant coach Matt Rosler who always brought the energy to the players and was a perfect fit for the less handed Ironmen. I am also extremely dissatisfied with the way Phil Kuhn is treated from a coaching point. I’ve met so many baseball coaches but coach Kuhn knows more than anybody I’ve ever witnessed, he could be a legit college coach. This was the best possible coaching staff for the Ironmen and they were all scared off or fired. (Board REFUSES to hire Kuhn) to coach anymore. And to the parents complaining, this is not little league anymore. If your kid is not good, he should not play, end of discussion. This is a very soft world that we live in. So, to Pat Stevens, Phil Howard and the BOE shame to you. You jus fired the best coaches you could possibly have.

Is that confirmed or rumor? I possibly thought that when I seen the Jackson job open.
