We have not had one since Vass took over the program. Also keep in mind this is an 8th period class he is in charge of daily. Where the kid do nothing half the time just like the coach.

It is time for change! If Vass current staff and family are leaving for other jobs should that not say something itself. There is no one inside the four walls of Ironton city schools that should even be considered for the job. The interview process is a joke with former staff interviewing candidates...

I agree.

Just because someone plays college sport doesn’t make him a good coach , nothing against the Pendleton kid but hiring someone without any head coaching experience would be a big mistake That could happen with any hire correct? Focus on what he knows and what coaches he will bring with experience. O...

You are correct. So if you know everything then please tell us, who's going to be the next head coach at Ironton. They have not made a decision as of today. The board will select the next coach from 24 applications. Eight have now been interviewed. I spoke to 2 board members and they are little con...

I heard that a coach from Kentucky will be the next coach. But that is just rumors at this point, if that is the case they must be trying to open a teaching position up.

Simple. Biggest problem with Ironton is they are split. Half the people want 1950s Lutz ball and the other half wants new age ball. Those guys aren't gonna agree with what Pendleton would want to do because they too are old school. The game has changed, change with it or be left behind. This is why...

When you have long time assistant coaches saying goodbye it is time for a change. I respect what the staff tried to do but they have failed. I remember when Coach Lutz was hired after one coach decided not to come to Ironton. A young man with the desire to change the face of the Tigers. The previous...

Very good point!

I tell you what there's a former Tiger player who is now an assistant in Kentucky who applied and didnt even get a call back which is crazy considering he just coached in a state game as well helping to take his team to the state semis the past few years. He runs his teams weightroom and he calls a...

One thing for sure I think there will be a new head coach!

I think the Pendleton interview should send a loud message to the old staff.

I agree Ironton needs someone like this with no ties to Ironton to change the culture within.

No one outside the school system has been formally interviewed at this time. Just phone calls

My sources (reliable sources) informed that Coach Triplett is willing and waiting to come on board as an assistant with Trevon Pendleton should he be awarded the Ironton job. What this would provide is knowledge of the Ironton athletic system and the community as a whole not to mention his ability ...

No they did renew his contract. He will have to go through the interview process like everyone else that applied.

Only thing I will say playing football and coaching football is totally different.

It’s time to pull the posting down and start the interviewing!

So when do we find out IF there will be a new coach at Ironton? If there is, I smell a union grievance and a big can of worms. I've been told the next school board meeting, I think they will rehire Vass. They have not even closed out the application process outside at this time. I will say that if ...

Bate Ironton off season weight program is as bad as I have seen this day and age for any school.
