I still say daddy wants the job, and all his buddies with kids on the team that weren’t getting playing time are supporting him. Let daddy ball run it into the ground for a year or two and see how they feel then. :mrgreen:

[/quote] You are such a fool, Coach Cunningham did some grotesque things off the field. He held vendettas against players, and took advantage of his role as an administrator. The people who want Coach Cunningham gone, are all starters and key players on a 7-4 football team. They graduate 5 seniors, all who played key roles in the teams success as they are the all time winningest class. I suggest you do a little bit more research into the type of man the head coach is before insulting a bunch of boys.

Yes, lil Johnny’s feelings were hurt so mommy started contacting the powers. Now the door is open for daddy to coach. Good luck beating Ironton again with daddy ball. :mrgreen:

I know a guy in the area who's already won an OVC title and beat Ironton at The Tank.

Not sure if he's looking to coach again, but sure seems like it might be a great opportunity for both sides.

I feel like that would be a great hire, if said former coach was interested.

The Fairland school board was able to hire their guy that they wanted to lead their program after losing the winningest coach in school history last night by hiring Mike Jackson.

That's typically how it goes- Board does the hiring :P

He was the best man for the job. He’s the person behind the winning that’s been going on at fairland. Cunningham would’ve been long gone if it weren’t for Jackson as the kids truly didn’t like Melvin. That’s just a fact. As everyone has stated. He held vandetta on certain kids. He did some shady stuff off the field as well. He is not a good person. He should’ve never been hired after his stint he pulled at Mingo which is why he was fired from his hometown school. Michael Jackson will do a good job although the talent after this year won’t be close to what they have had lately.

100% agree. Many folks outside Fairland have no clue as to what went on “ behind the sceen”.
