Rockets gonna have a long tough year. Their lines were bad last year and they graduated their "best" linemen. Now, i have to watch what i say so someone's feelings don't get hurt but, if osborne is at jackson and the other player also goes, this team will win 2 games tops. The "two&qu...

Was told they are interviewing 4 next week. Cutting down to 2 and then offer. Still hearing Heath Hinton is one of the 4

Tressel won't apply because there aren't any tatoo shops or car rental agencies in oak hill. As for the new coach, one name that i was told that is interviewing is Heath Hinton. Great get for oak hill if true.

Actually I92 it isn't even close to that easy anymore. Parents can't say they are moving for work and transfer the child. They must move in excess of 30 miles. The state has really closed many of the loopholes. A kid can't just say they live in jackson and then drive back and forth to "Bidwell&...

Well blackjack, i have been told that one coach is going to northwest ohio with Phillips. I know from his own mouth that Coach Slone wasn't coaching after this year. Now, if the other coaches don't coach (i have been told this by the same person that informed me one coach was going with Phillips) wh...

I think there will be plenty of good applicants for this job. I do think finding assistants will be VERY difficult. I'm guessing a couple of previous posters were kidding. I hope they were. Anyway, i don't think the talent is as bare as some think. The weight program is very good. I heard that Fairc...

Here we go again Wellston faithful . . . I will give a very slight edge to the Rockets with skill kids (you don't appear to have a qb), I give Jackson a definite edge in line size and strength, and give Jackson an absolutely huge advantage in coaching. BLOWOUT . . . Ironmen 28 Rockets 6. Being gener...

Blackjack, I am truly not trying to be negative. As I said, I work with two people from Wellston. Both are great workers and I consider them friends. They have told me good things about the coach in waiting. However, both have said he is in way over his head. Both are very very disappointed in the w...

Why would people "all of a sudden" be interested in this job? The posting came down in mid-February if I remember correctly. This could've been solved a week or two ago if the Wellston BOE and Adminsitrative Staff would have spent a few more $$$ and had shown concern for the kids and commu...

Not a shred of inside info but, why would Coach Phillips turn this job down (Ty Webb)? Maybe it's about $$$$. What if Wellston is only willing to pay a certain number of years. A lot of school districts only pay for 10 yrs. I am guessing he might have more. That could be a lot of $$$. Someone posted...

I agree with BytheNumbers. There is no way Coach Phillips would do something like that. Someone was having fun with Goldenboy. Does anyone know for sure (Boiler) if Coach Phillips has even talked to them? Also, why no other Rocket fans posting on this? This is the future of your program that is at s...

Great post Charles! Too many people get on here and put little "tid bits" out that they have heard "from someone else" just to stir some crap up. My next door neighbor's son played for Coach Phillips when he was in Jackson. He loved playing for him. I used to kid him about a Well...

That would make more sense to hire later in the month. If they interview that many coaches, they are going to have to take time and evaluate a lot of material. The end of March is not too late to get this done. THE most important thing is to get it right. In my opinion, they are 1-2 in their last 3 ...

Boilermaker, talked to a coach at Bw's in Chilli Friday night. He is getting an interview at Wellston. He told me interviews don't start until the end of next week. Going to interview 6, cut down to 3, and then offer the job. Not sure they will be able to hire March 11th. Can they call a special boa...

You can look at this many different ways. I know from talking to a coach that River Valley dropped Oak Hill. Why not play 'Burg? Oak Hill beat Minford last year, guess who Minford beat? As for Wellston, Oak Hill would've beaten them by 3 td's or more last year. Saw both teams play. Game wouldn't hav...

Numbers . . . I am sure each has had his own reasons for leaving and I will bet it is a very tough place to coach. I think being a head coach in any sport is one of the toughest jobs there is right now, especially a high school football coach. I am not sure if this is his "dream job" or no...

Oh, bobcatfan4728, it is called supply and demand! Phillips has done a good job in Oak Hill, has 20 some years hs coaching experience, and is from Wellston (that is the supply). The demand is probably Wellston people would like to have an alum coaching their team. Maybe someone that understands thin...

There is no way that the Wellston board will hire a coach for one year thinking that Coach Phillips will come next year. Let's just say they did, what makes anyone think Phillips would want to keep this guy as an assistant coach let alone offensive coordinator? I don't think anyone in Wellston is &q...

Congrats Lady Oaks and Coach Hale from Jackson. Good luck with the state tournament. Bring the title home to Jackson County!!

Wellston is taking applications until mid February if I recall. Warren has had some interviews. My guess, Warren hires by the end of Feb. and Wellston makes it a March hire.
