I think we should get a proven winner , no more of these washed up 500 career guys. H.S. Ingo would be at the top of my short list.Why did he resign, who would be a good candidate.
FC is stupid. Tom Hale is a excellent football coach. A few "parents" didnt like him. Well, good luck. Hope we can get him on the staff at PC.Resigned today not a moment to soon I might add
When Auburn beat The Fort in the playoffs Coach Turner spoke about the great looking kids they had. Leading up to the game I didn't think Auburn had a chance no matter how good a coach Turner is. I do think you are correct give him a few athletes at that level with his weight program and work ethic they would have a chance to win a state title. I am not taking anything away from the past coaches, just agreeing with you about Coach.I guess some of those Fort fans think Nick Saban might be coming to town. Hale was and is a quality coach. Good luck in the search - might be able to get some young up and comers but getting an established coach will be difficult. Maybe they can get Jack Turner - he would do well there and stay in 1A with better athletes.
Well, let's see, the 3 best coaches Wythe Co has had, Ingo, James and Hale are no longer coaching in Wythe Co anymore. That should tell you something. Sounds like the school board should tell some parents where to get off. That's just my opinion from the outside looking in. I'm sure i could be wrong.if u want to say fort was stupid for hiring him- well that would be different. Poor choice to begin with.
In my opinion Ingo was railroaded. Actually outside the school board's control in that case. You really think bad language was the reason hale left? You think that is all there is to it?

I am sure coach Hale is rushing up to PC as we speak to become a assistant coach there seeing as how he has applied for the head coaching job several times and was passed over every time. They really think a lot of him at PC for sure.FC is stupid. Tom Hale is a excellent football coach. A few "parents" didnt like him. Well, good luck. Hope we can get him on the staff at PC.
I have heard a number of rumors but cannot confirm anything, I have even heard that we were getting Dixon from Galax or that Ragsdale from Giles was giving up retirement to coach at the Fort...A coach here at Galax works at Carroll County and says a member of Carroll 's football staff will be the next coach at FC, he interviews next week to make it official.
You will get what you deserve! From what I hear there aren't very many applicants. Maybe a pioneer assistant is the only way they'll get a coach. Maybe you and some other "Know it alls" will coach them next year. Then we'll see what you have to say.Nick Sabin is not coming but any pop warner would be better than hale he is a terrible coach and person.
Get the facts first ED.When Auburn beat The Fort in the playoffs Coach Turner spoke about the great looking kids they had. Leading up to the game I didn't think Auburn had a chance no matter how good a coach Turner is. I do think you are correct give him a few athletes at that level with his weight program and work ethic they would have a chance to win a state title.

I agree with you 100% !!I read in the paper someone complained about the bad language. Although, I don't condone the bad language used by many coaches, I'm pretty certain the coach prior to Hale wasn't a virgin to bad language either and almost willing to bet that the new coach (whoever it is) won't be. Most of the kids hear worse things from their parents and other friends anyway - you can't turn on a prime time tv show on a major network without hearing bad language.
As I've told other coaches, it's never the stud who gets you in trouble for bad language, it's the kid on the bench who's parent thinks he should be playing more. I used to coach high school athletics and had used bad language in practice, never directly at a kid, more along the lines of "let's go kick their @**" or "stop bull s>*&ing around". Of course I got reprimanded and began to realize it wasn't really worth it.
I've known Tommy Hale for close to 20 yrs and he is neither a terrible person nor coach. Sorry that pioneerstats has so much hate in him - life's way too short, Hale's gone you can rejoice without spitting on him.
aLet's just say you make enough people mad they will dig in your dirt and sooner or later the Skelton's fall out of the closet and I'm not full of hate I love everyone just have zero torlerence for incompetence and birateing youth to hide your incompetence But I have notice all who defend him all from Pulaski were he was a assistant coach ruffly 15 years ago under hicks
