Wellston head football coach job posted on OHSAA website

[ONE OF A KIND]

Well lets get him officially hired so these kids can get in the weight room and get on a program. Also, The community (parents) has pumped Phillips up for months now, lets see if he can live up to the expectations

No offense to greg....btu he cant measure up to expectations in wellston....a town with no talent that thinks it should be in the NFL. The day he is hired begins the timer that counts down till he makes someone mad or loses too many games and will end with his firing. Thats Wellston for ya....

Always remember....the best thing about people from wellston is that they have Jackson on their license plates. Free dessert for anyone wearing ironman gear into the store tonight from 6 - 9pm. Go JHS!

Did they let the two women from the board room cage match have some say in who they hired? If not, will we see a rematch at a future board meeting?

What is taking so long to hire Phillips? Is there something going on behind the scenes that is holding this hire up that no ones knows about?

all will be revealed very soon

I think the board should fill the football coaching positions. Expand to a head coach, and four assistants and they could do the high school. Have the two ladies mentioned above do the Jr High. With one of them as OC and the other as DC just think of the competitive battles they could have in practice.

No one wants to face this but I am telling you all that secretly the BOE is considering cancelling the program. I overheard a board member in my store talking about how much money they could save if they scrapped the "dog and pony show" football program and started up soccer. I think this why the delay has been ongoing. Just remember two things:

1. You heard it here first!

2. The best thing about people from Wellston is that they have Jackson on their license plates.

you are absolutely insane. That will NEVER happen. They haven't even enforced pay to play there yet. The jackson game gate alone pays for everything year round for football and other sports, not including their other home games gate $. People need to relax. A new coach will be named in near future and things will get rolling. VC won't even start their interview process until the february 12th board when the officially except their coach's resignation. So I think were doing pretty good.

A hire once decided should be quick not drawn out less time for the kids wondering who there guy is.. turns a lot of kids away from the program too..

Oh hell Brett, a strung out hiring process is the least of the programs worry's at this point. And Like I said, it will happen soon.

The two game losing streak to VC is probably high up on that list of worries

No i seriously doubt that. Yes vc beat wellston, but wellston had the better record and both ended up below .500. So i don't see that game meaning much. I will say this, i hope vc and wellston realize what they need as a coach and not let politics get in the way.

[Dundas]

^Agree. Blue Duck. Its been quite some time since that week 10 game has meant anything other than bragging rights. It still has to sting a little losing to VC, especially with VC having a worse record

There holding out till I can make the meeting. And if that floozy shows her self again she'll get some more. Mark my words, they will hire who I want or else!

Glad to see someone has a handle on this situation. After all, warm weather is only a few months away and the boys will be itching to get in the weight room when it gets here.

[PIGSKIN]

Seasons over if you don't get to weight room till spring. Go a head and call it know so you can have good soccer season

[PIGSKIN]

The way kids and teams train you can't afford to lose 4 months out of year. Wellston football out of frying pan into fire. People not happy with Hutch he was way better than nobody. Parents should petition Ohssa against school distict over not hiring coach and get permission to transfer without penalty. Why stay and get embarrassed for another season

Greg Phillips officially hired this morning.

Greg was 4-26 at St. Mary's in 3 seasons. Went 4-6 his first season in 2011 and 2012 and 2013 he was 0-20.
