Do you think the admin would accept my experience coaching NCAA and Madden football games on the XBox? :lol: :lol:

But seriously - there were about 17 applicants. At least one of those already accepted a head coach job somewhere else. I think I heard there were two internal candidates.

Still not sure of a timeline, but I would imagine you'll see movement in January. There is a committee that will look at and interview applicants and be a part of the process.
Usually when a school delays the process like this it means someone has a coach in mind that they want, so they delay the process long enough to get people to drop out. It happens all the time. So, whoever they have in mind at Logan better be a good one or you'll have more of the same, cause that guy is getting the job. You can count on it. :mrgreen:

Yes, he is still teaching at Logan. He was involved with the committee last time and I think will be this time as well.

I think he is done coaching. He's been out of the game long enough. I think he's always been open to being an unofficial "consultant."

I think admin would accept that resume. 🤣

Hopefully the committee acts sooner than later. Like koondogger mentioned though, they may already have a candidate in mind.

He did it right! Whomever gets the job would be very wise to lean on him for his advice and knowledge....IMO!

I wonder if Ron Hinton is still interested in coaching. If he has 2-3 years left he might be an interesting choice to re-establishment expectations at LHS.

What was his reason for leaving Chillicothe?

Personally I would hope that we could find a younger, energetic coach that can get us back on the right path. I’m sure Hinton would be a good hire to fill a gap, but we would be back to uncertainty in 3 years or so.

Anyone know if the Trimble coach has interest?

Hiring a Rutter is always a good move. Our two best coaches ever were rutters. Personally I would leave the active rutter at NYHS and go after the PE teacher. Our current coach probably would nt leave. The PE teacher is actually the better coach but not sure you can pry him out of coaching retirement.

Trimble coach? He11 he's older than Hinton. You need to look southeast of Logan and west of Trimble for the answer. He's younger and took a loser only to turn them into a winner instantly. :mrgreen:

I think that's what he's saying. Not saying I agree. I think the current coach is the best. And Davey's "legend" status was as a player wasn't it and not as a coach. There's only been 4 coaches so both the Trimble guys are in the top 3. :mrgreen:

Didn’t say I wanted the Trimble coach. Just asked if he had interest as I had heard he did. That’s all....

Scuttlebutt is a reduced list of 7 that will be interviewed. Heard it from 3 different people so take it for what it is.

If true, getting closer to moving forward with a new leader of Chieftain Football Nation. I hope they embrace it.

Trimble's coach was made for Trimble and Trimble was made for him.

Plus the Tomcats were young and expect to be better for the next couple of seasons than they were this year.


And I think any coach Logan hires might only be here for 3ish years. If Logan gets turned around he'd likely look north for a better job. And I'm fine with that.

The assistant at Johnstown interviewed when this came open last time. I think he felt he was only interviewed because they thought he was the head coach at Johnstown. I don't think he applied, his son is in 4th grade now and too involved now with the youth league and coaching his son and his current friends to leave now. When the job came open first time his son had not started school yet and he was looking for a job due to getting his masters in school counseling and job insecurity at Licking Heights. I think he is happy with his current job in Columbus City and coaching at Johnstown with his uncle, who is the head coach. The head coach at Johnstown has no plans of leaving anytime soon. He is not too far away from retiring from teaching, but not coaching. That's what I "hear" lol

In 2004 Tri-Valley was hunting for a new head football coach. It was a program that seldom had any success. After weeks of hunting for a coach they narrowed it to 3 candidates. The superintendent then took a step back and decided none of the 3 were really what the school needed. He reposted the job and started calling all the successful veteran football coaches in the area asking if they knew of any young guys who had no varsity coaching experience but have the potential to be a successful coach and build a program from the ground up. Coach Ifft at Dover told the supt. that an asst. that left Dover to become the defensive coordinator at Hillard Davidson a couple years back would be the type of guy he was hunting for. Supt. Doug Spade called Justin Buttermore and asked him to apply. He applied, met with committee, was offered the job and accepted it. The rest is history. A very successful 14 year history. Sometimes, someone just has to have the drive to do what it takes to find the best coach out there. Most just accept the best of what applies.

Amen! Logan needs to take that approach. If you think the coach has what it takes, regardless of varsity experience, take the chance. You can’t really be any worse than what we have been.
