Re: Week 5 Athens (1-3) @ Vinton (0-4)

Athens gets the easy Win in the Bottom of the Barrel Bowl. VC might get their W in week 7 against Fed Hock,.. Although VC's struggling offense could get on the board against that bulldog defense.

Re: Week 5 Wellston (3-1) @ Alexander (3-1, 1-0)

Alex rolls. Wellston might win 1 of their remaining games this season. Is that 1 game your talking about against VC? Haha! A team that just drummed portsmouth west by 40, I would think Wellston can play with and beat anyone on the remainder of their schedule. I think their toughest game will come a...

Re: Vinton Co. Coaching Search - 2015

The new coach will be decided on April 9th. There are no "front runners" at this time. Personally, I feel like it will be either Yates, Bethel or O'Rourke. That is just my opinion. The administration is sure taking a long time. I hope everything works out for you guys. I will say this, wh...

Re: Vinton Co. Coaching Search - 2015

I've heard first round of interviews are over and second round is to start soon. Familiar names that interviewed first round was Nolan Yates, Travis Bethel, and Jack O'Rourke. The other couple names must be out of towners because i've never heard of them

Re: Wellston head football coach job posted on OHSAA website

No one wants to face this but I am telling you all that secretly the BOE is considering cancelling the program. I overheard a board member in my store talking about how much money they could save if they scrapped the "dog and pony show" football program and started up soccer. I think this...

He did a great job on the stat book. No doubt it took numerous hours.

Re: Vinton Co. Coaching Change - 2015

Vinton County High School has had 18 coaches since the 5 County schools consolidated back in 1966. Of those 18 coaches, 3 have won conference titles. (Bolender-'66 MOVC, O'Rourke-'90, '91 TVC and Queen-'95, '96, '99 TVC) Two of the 18 coaches lead VC to the ploayoffs. (O'Rourke-1993 and Downs-2004)...

Re: Vinton Co. Coaching Change - 2015

Let's take a look at some people the hiring committee should be considering: Jack O'Rourke - had great success in early 90's Matt Queen - O'Rourke assistant who took over when O'Rourke left. Won several league titles. Why did they get rid of him, again? Jason Snider - former standout who played for...

Re: Vinton Co. Coaching Change - 2015

What I meant by the Jimmy and Joe's comment is not the coaches are concerned with who players or and especially not with who their parents are. I was referring to the fact that sometimes it doesn't matter how much x's and o's you know about football when you go up against a team who has better play...

Re: New Coach at Vinton County?

Dundas, Blue Duck, he also went 0-20 at galion high school, was let go from danville, and had some other average below average stops including his current job. Orourke is a good coach but he needs talent to win just like all other coaches need. VC's schedule and talent level is nothing like it was ...

Re: New Coach at Vinton County?

I was saying that a .500 record year in and year out would be a realistic expectation. I know they have been down for the past 10-15 years. But I guess what I am really getting at is that they have had some decent coaches over that time but they have been run out of town for not winning. At the hig...

Re: New Coach at Vinton County?

I do not know the current coach and I will not say if he should go or stay. I will be the first to say that I do not have the answers to make VC a winning program but I will say this. If the coach is kept or a new hire is made, everyone in VC needs to have realistic expectations. VC has only made t...
