I thing you have said is true; VC does not have the talent. And as it was said it does take 3-5 years and sometimes more to build a program. Like I said the admin is the problem because 1- they do think that the team should win every year (seriously look at the schedule). 2- They won't give a guy th...

Let us all be honest here. It really does not matter who the coach is. The program has a long way to go and it all starts at the top. They are going to bring in "the new guy", he will have 2-3 losing seasons and then they will start looking for the next "new guy". It is a joke of...

Ok I really know nothing about this new coach so correct me if I am wrong. He has had bad seasons with South Gallia and couldn't win in the TVC Hocking (again I do not know his record) and he is a friend of the principal at VC (buddy system). Looks like a great hire in VC! When will the administrati...

So, how long until this guy gets run out of town? I can't wait to see all of the "the community needs to get behind this guy" and "the administration needs to support him". Then he will lose a few games and it will be "he is running the ball to much" (because we all kno...

Hey Kinny, if you know so darn much why don't you apply for the football coaching job? Same for you Gilligan.... you want to throw a jab at coach Yates by putting "Wolford opens weight room" If you guys think you have all the answers then you apply. It is easy to bash a coach when you have...

Good luck to the Vikings and the coaching staff here at VC. They need this win!!!

Well said Hawkeye.

I never once said that hitting in practice was a problem, I am saying the exact opposite. You need to hit I am just saying you cannot blame a coach for a kid getting hurt... it happens. No I do not go to practice each day and no I cannot attend every game... Do you? Are you on the staff? Do you sit ...

Not that I have to prove myself to you, but yes I have coached high school football for the past 7 years. I have coached teams with a lot of talent and some with not much at all and we have won and lost games with both. I never said that I could change the state of this program. That will take time ...

WOW..... We are now going to blame the coach for injuries? So my kid seperates a shoulder at practice and it was the coaches fault for not doing the drill for him? I really feel for Coach Yates. Hey maybe if the team came down with the flu it would be the coaches fault... or a kid forgets the play.....

HAHAHAHA because I have 20 posts and you have 10? That really shows that I live on the computer. That probably just shows that you just now figured out how to use the internet and want to show your self by bashing a coach and a program that you have no clue about. When you take the time to coach, an...

Are you obsessedwith Coach Yates or what?

Viking4life you are really one of the main problems. I can tell by your post that you have never coached in your life. Hell you probably never played. Was you one of the kids that were picked on in school? Did you go to high school with coach Yates and maybe you are jealous that he was successful an...

No they are not getting a new coach. Coach Yates is the coach and will remain tha coach.

Man if you have all the answers why don't you apply for the job and I bet we would win every game. Let's be honest here. It isn't like the team is loaded this year and we are losing games. We lost a tough game with key players hurt. We showed some promise and we will improve. As far as why does coac...

Ok, after reading all of this; how does it turn from supporting our team to bashing and fighting. This is ALL a BIG part of the problem. I will comment on what I know as facts. I know Jeff Downs, I know he took the Vikes to the playoffs, I also know that we were a very talented team that season. Coa...

I feel for any coach/staff that has to deal with this. It takes a coach some time to build a program and have success. I really feel that the problem in Vinton County is that they do not give a coach the support or time he needs to build a solid program. When a team is coming off of losing seasons, ...

Jason Snider and Todd Braden from Vinton County. (Snider '93, Braden'97) were 2 of the best linebackers I have ever seen. Both of them had a way of just being around the ball and could deliver some big hits. Snider went on to play DL at Navy and Braden DE at Mount Union. Both had very good college c...

I have 1 issue with school enrollment and trying to say that should make a team be more competetitive. I grew up and went to VC and even though the school is one of the biggest in the league they still do not get the great numbers to come out for the team. Even when we were winning the TVC you maybe...

I happen to coach for a team that is an option attack just like Navy. We also have a team in our county that we must defend that also runs the option just as we do. I would have to say it is harder takes more discipline to run it then defend it. Because the option has rules, and if you follow those ...
