I read the post, I can take it 2 ways, the anonymous posters sounded like the current coaches, that sounded bitter. I mean they knew that the woman was the board members wife, but on the other hand it not usual for a boards member wife to post like that. Seems odd. I do know Matt Williams and Kyle Fowler both did 2 stints there, 2 highly respected coaches and hall of fame guys . I bet they would have the most unbiased insight on it since they’re not there anymore. But may be proceed with caution, I’m on the fence, I know who to call She did come out and say her husband was on the board and he coached a bunch of those kids and the talent level is really high… I think the posters may have been on staff as well but she told who she was and then said her piece. I think a person for sure wants to be sure and check on it closely is all I am saying. They might want to rent until they know where they stand. I do know they have some talent coming. Know a lot of people around the area and they all say there is some really talented players coming in the jh program… not sure what the high school has currently. May very well be superb talent in the high school as well… I’m not close enough to know about that. I just know some people from around that area and thought it was eye opening that the board members wife came on there making the statements she made. Sounded like a lot of typical parents we hear as coaches telling us that their kid is really talented it is the coaches fault they aren’t successful. May not be the case just seems like a song we hear far too often nowadays.

According to some people close enough to know, her husband is a youth wrestling coach. That's the coaching experience she was touting.

Might wanna look into closing up shop on football and playing fall baseball. Those boys can play ball and already do it all summer long.

Man would hate to see another school “closing up shop” we need more programs not less. Football is a great sport. Not sure your motive but I feel like we need to advocate for the sport at all times. Regardless of the situation. I know you’re probably joking but still would like to see all these small schools stay alive. I’m afraid with transfer portal we may see a lot of struggling small schools get decimated and lose some of their programs. I hope im wrong

Yeah man, just joking. Not advocating for anyone to stop playing football. Meant more as a credit to their baseball program.

Meant more as a credit to their baseball program. yeah when the rule came out, the first thought I had what it will do to small school football, it worries me to be honest. I see some teams have barely enough to play sometimes but now with the chance to transfer rather easily it could hurt. But I also see the side of trying to give kids best opportunity so it’s a double edged sword.

If Harmon gets Blackwell please let me be a fly on the wall. The former wrestling coach now assistant hs principal has all the power and hasn't been a fan of football success in the past, but he has a son playing school ball now. I don't see them working together. 2 guys who could destroy each other

Harmon wins that 9/10 times! Haha. But that would be a wild move for Harmon, talk about the ultimate turnaround attempt!

Continue to hear wild rumors out of Salina. Parents are wanting to pay Mason Fine to come and be OC, but he might not even be around for the entire season due to Canadian football. My understanding is, some HC candidates are ok with it and some are not.
Is this real life?!?

Mason Fine just signed 2 years so that just sounds made up, almost like people stirring the pot.

Haha I promise you it was not. As stated, he would not commit to being there the entire season due to opportunities north of the border. That opportunity came, and great for Mason. It was fairly well known...

Dude stays places 3-4 years then bounces, 4th time doing so If it is true then O'Steen does move around a lot. He is a good guy and a good coach, this would be his 2nd go round at Wynnewood. The Wynnewood community thought pretty highly of him. I'm guessing they are happy to get him back.

Has there been any further developments with Harmon? He's talked to a lot of people, Blackwell definitely makes sense geographically.

Staying somewhere 3-4 years can’t really be considered “bouncing” that’s a healthy investment of your career.. Have to stop thinking about coaches as obligated to stay beyond 1 year. We sign 1 year contracts, as do the admin in their commitment to us. The kids with this new rule dang sure aren’t staying if the situation is no longer advantageous. It’s the schools’ responsibility to keep the coach, not the coaches’ responsibility to stay anywhere. Don’t want your coach to leave? Find out what he wants and give it to him, especially when another place offers it to him. Don’t care if he leaves- don’t give him what he wants, and see if he stays.
