Who will be the new head football coaches in the OVC

[LetsGoPSU]

I realize it was 30 years ago, but I walked from Gallia Street to Spartan Stadium, down by the River, every day after school for quite a long time to get to our practice facility, and we did preety well in healping to turn around an 0-10 Trojan football squad......if you want it go get it

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

heard legendary hall of fame getback coach from arnton, tim Collins is putting in for the rock hillian program...gonna put em on the map!! gonna make terry nelson his o-cordinatoer

classless is what this is -- tim is a great guy from a great family. and has given his entire adult life to fighting tiger sports. to say this is absurd, making fun of someone who has given so much to fighting tiger football, and baseball.

As you said you walked 30 years ago. You forgot to mention you walked without a cell phone. Which I am sure you still made it there and enjoyed it all.Which also formed a pretty good team and future teams.

Just that times are way different not just the players. As well as parents complaining about the walk for this reason or that. Along with complaining about what might happen. Things were made to work back 30 years because complaining would not get you anywhere. Gallipolis the school is out of town a few miles. The plans was to move the football field after building the school . Just leave it where it is.

I think Alex Penrod will be the new coach at Gallia Academy

svac83 ! A little history lesson ! The days of 3rd and 4th ave players are gone !politics killed the program ! I call it the Chickamauga creek monster curse ! Know new field starts there ! 60/70 /80 / 90 / players will be hard to come by ! Killed by a few. Jmo !

[svac83]

Your not going to have the players of 70's 80,s and 90's because you don't have the population and enrollment anymore.. A lot of you guys like to compare gallia talent when they were probably graduating 250 a class and and had enrollment of 800 to 1000..

Do you realize Gallia academy graduated 139 and 108 total kids in last 2 years.. and I may be wrong but I was doing some stuff for kids and I went to get number of students and there aren't 500 kids there..

Besides that a lot of people have moved out of town.. that is why it is only a village now.. You guys can blame it what you want... Gallia schools are in possision it is in.. Because when they needed to build new schools and build infrastructure they didn't.. Growth moved other places look at the growth Jackson has had because they made those decisions years before Gallia.. So don't compare to good old days it is not the same place.

Your right about one thing Gallipolis is a Village but they tax the people to death ! Now they want to move city limits farther out for "city " taxes ! That's one reason RV will and is up and coming ! Not me can't live in the limits or my off springs good luck !

[bighead]

Good old days you can never take them away ! And some may never happen again !How much is it now to play a sport at GA now ?

[bighead]

Next Head Coach at GA should be Jim Niday !

[farmer]

Sounds much like 2 others schools that are also now in the OVC in Ironton and Portsmouth. Change has happened in all 3 towns. All still trying to hold on to the past as well as prepare for the future.
Things will never be like the past. Unless you are planning a Back to the Future IV movie.

You cant be serious, KW.

somebody lost a bet.

No Gallia is not getting the Burg coach unless I am really misreading that situation.

No GA is not getting Penrod, he most likely happy at Alexander and I am not even sure his alma-mater Logan could fetch him away. Trying to take D2 Logan given their situation and competing is not good when you have D5 Alexander and some nice athletes. My guess is he stays at Alexander, don't see a move to Gallia. But who knows anything possible.

Politics aside (and they have a lot of it their) Gallia is stuck and the climb out has and will continue to be difficult. The current D4 spot may help them compete or if they fall further to D5, but I don't see any play-off runs in the next 5 year.

[svac83]

this school probably will still be D-4 next time around because a lot of schools keep shrinking. This team can turn it around it relatively short amount of time if right man hired. I have no idea who that man is. I would not be surprised to see Penrod as coach. But i also would not be surprised if he could not care less about this job.

If he applies then that should be a sign to all of you that things have changed and the same people aren't making decisions there. I only know of one person that has applied for position so far. I am not in the know. I only know this because i ran into them at Walmart and they told me they had applied.

[bighead]

WalMart start there ! The damage is done! Eddy was ran out of town also! WOW ! Good luck.

[Game day]

Has anyone heard about the Rock Hill head coaching position?

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

I hain't heared a peep about either there or gahs.

LOL I didn't mean take candidates from Walmart.. But almost everyone in area is in Walmart everyone once in a while.. I hardly ever am in Walmart and don't run into a teacher that one of my kids had.. a coach that my kids kids played for or against.. about a month ago all 3 county football coaches were in the same isle..of Walmart at same time..

And why do people keep saying Eddy was ran out of town.. that was most hilarious thing I have heard.. what Eddy did do is dame the program a lot the way he left.. you don't have a meeting with all the players in after the season in January and say forget all the stories I am here to stay.. then less then a month later resign and not even tell the boys in person.. then to basically have coach Bart do the exact same thing.. those to things kept several players from playing 2 years in a row that is just starting to get better

So back to the more important issues of not have many athletes over 200 pounds. Could this be associated with not having the Open Lunches to walk over to Remo's and eat?
