He definitely wouldn't be on the block but this talk has been around since day 1. And yes the talk probably would've died down. But he has never been liked, the kids just don't want to be around him and no matter if that right or wrong that's the deal.
He did do a better job and I stick by that but as I said my opinion doesn't matter here. I don't have a child playing I've coached 90% of them but none are mine. I know the family's very well and they dont want there children around him. And I do agree if they had won you wouldn't be hearing alot of this but this really has been the talk for a while now. And I don't know if blasted is the word he is being taken to the cleaners by some folks. I think things can work out by like I said for them to be fixed he will have to change everything. The way he acts around the kids, his coaching style ect. Idk tike will tell all we can do is set back and see what happens.
No doubt man most of us here played for extreme had ass coaches. I've talked about how things went when I played on here before. Like a kid breaking his arm into the shape of an s and being told to stop being a pussy and get up. I guess the best way for me to put this is look at H.S Ingo he won a state title and took the team to a semifinals. And was fired after never having a bad year why? Because a small handful of parents didn't like him. They though he was to hard on the kids and like I said that was literally like 5 or 10 parents. Harner is hated by the majority of people so...
Any thing less than the Trophy is not good enough in Wytheville . Greenville real estate is cheap !!!
They got rid of HS Ingo after a semifinals in 2011 and a state title in 2012. So yes they would chop him after 2 semifinals in a row.
He was the head coach of the JV from 1993-2008 with like a 121-11 record and something like 5-8 undefeated seasons in a row. And when Coach Pruitt left he was on tap but HS got the job. So when they let HS go he again was on tap but was passed over again. So he is very well liked in Wytheville as he should be and us more than capable of being a head coach at GW. He has been around the program for almost 25 years. Now he is at Chilhowie as an OC so idk I think he would be an amazing choice.
Galax simply got beat by a better team and I don't think you will hear anyone from Galax calling for Dixon to be gone.
She tried to get him charged for hazing but it was all dropped. I'm telling you it was reported as being 1000 times worse than it was. It was a severe over reaction of a pissed parent cause the kid didn't play. So in a way yes a different situation but kinda similar in the sense that parents aren't happy with the way the kids are being treated.
The comments I have read since the game have been nothing but top notch ! Dixon is a great coach and he will have the MT back in it next year ! Riverheads was just a little better this year and the revenge factor may have been a big part of their win . Galax is a great little town with good people who love their football . Hope the MT comes to Greenville next year .
