2018 Ironton Head football coach

[laser breath]

I am so disappointed by the BOE. They knew they were not going to hire Vass. They should have hired a coach by the first of January, no later than February. Now they hired someone that turned down the job and here we are almost MAY and no coach. It is the most pitiful chaos I have ever seen. Some of you people complain because we can’t beat Burg! Well when you have no concern for the kids in your community, you can’t expect to be on top. You force kids to leave. There is no do over for these kids. These kids have been the ones who suffer. All I see is everyone in any kind of power have their own agendas. This one hates that one. That one hates this one. Blame him. Blame her. Why would any kid want to stay in this kind of chaos? It’s really an embarrassment. The kids in this community do not come first. It’s quite obvious. They deserve the very best. And this includes still not having a superintendent. How long has it been that Mr. Nance resigned? And let me say this, it’s not just Football that is suffering. Boys Basketball hasn’t had a good season since 2013. The baseball team has won 2 games this season. We have some really good people in this town that work hard to make things better, but it seems they are outnumbered by the others and their agendas. I love this town, but when is enough enough?

Weren’t you the one bashing a kids dad in the other thread?

I have some inside information as to who was offered... I can't tell you his name, but this photo was taken just yesterday as he sat at Tank Stadium and pondered taking the job:

YOU HAIN'T RIGHT JUNK !!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU JUST HAIN'T.

The dad yes! The kid no. Hated that the kid left. But his dad threatened every season. LITERALLY. His dad definitely isn’t missed by anyone. You will be begging him to leave. Probably before the season starts. Now everything I just said is true!

[NewEra]

So has Grizzle accepted is the question?

[4th and iches]

Nope

[Getting Older]

So if Grizzle turns it down I would in no way if I were Pendleton take the job if he's next to be ask..What a mess they are making of this situation

[Getting Older]

What does the board do, just hire someone and then ask if they want it. Geez

YOU REALLY HAIN'T RIGHT CHUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4th and iches]

The three names that were given to the board for approval was Sammons , grizzle and Fred Ray so I’m guessing Scott was their second choice so if he turns it down I assume they will offer Fred, Pendleton wasn’t one of their choices so I wouldn’t worry about him not taking the job just yet but ... I can see it getting to the next 3 , batter batter swing batter

So has Grizzle accepted is the question?

WHO CAN ACTUALLY CONFIRM THIS. I'M IN NO WAY TRYING TO SAY IT IS NOT TRUE. SO PLEASE BELIEVE THAT. I'M JUST CURIOUS IF IT CAN BE CONFIRMED. BUT IF IT DID IN FACT HAPPEN. THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING. AND IF IT DID AND THEY DIDN'T ASK PENDLETON 1ST.
THEN I'D TELL TREVON TO STEER CLEAR AND MAKE A REALLY WIDE TURN AROUND THE WHOLE SITUATION FOR HIS OWN GOOD.

This is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen at any level of athletics when it comes to a coaching search at a "premier" program.

[BigChuck]

Does anyone know who is going to be head coach at Ironton next year? I am hearing that several people that are qualified for the position and have expressed interest but the school board has not posted that position. Sounds like to me the school board is waiting till last second so no one applys because they either applied for other positions or took a position because they can’t wait till May for a position to be posted, therefore, the school board does not have to make any changes which is the easiest way out for them. This job as well as many others including the superintendent’s position needs to be posted now so that the best applicants can be evaluated for all positions. It sounds like to me the full time athletic director at Ironton needs to go or start evaluating his coaches better and set higher expectations for his coaches/programs and himself.

In all seriousness...did anyone ever really imagine that this thread would be 32 pages and growing, with the original question still not answered into later April??? What a sorry mess!

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

NO I DID NOT CHUCK. I CANNOT EVEN FATHOM IT NOT BEING RESOLVED RIGHT AFTER THE SEASON. MUCH LESS THIS. I JUST LOVE IRONTON, AND IRONTON FOOTBALL. BUT NOW WE'RE A PUNCHLINE. I HOPE THE HIRE IS NOT A BIG SPLASH. AND THEY GET THIS DONE RIGHT.
