Here's what we do know 2011 11-1 Osborne transferred to Jackson 2012 Dugan goes to Oak Hill to coach. Jackson on 21 regular season winning streak then Jackson lose to Granville and then to Athens in close games Jackson could have won. Then some drama after Athens game between staff and a three year starters brother and then we go to Wheelersburg and Jackson lays down and yes a few kids where sick but it was so bad they threatened to take JI,s off helmets at halftime season ends 5-5 with 15 seniors 3-2 school board vote. 2013 D1 prospect choose not to play senior year at Jackson other senior choose not to come out and Soph tailback frustrated with staff at 7on7 quits he's was the breakaway runner we missed all year we go 6-4. The 3-2 vote was talked about all year and will coach stay or go? What ever it is the AD needs to set down with the coach figure it out Jackson football draws kids to it kids to play just to be on team if you lose kids that are the main players then something's wrong. Fix it and league titles and weeks 12 and 13 will be played by the Ironmen in the future.
I don't understand. All of these things are Hall's fault? It was great for Jackson that Osborne transferred in. No doubt about it. Do they go 11-1 without him? Probably not, but you can't say for sure. Dugan took an opportunity to be a head coach, and he's doing an outstanding job at Oak Hill. Losing to Granville and Athens was tough, especially since both were close losses. The injuries, sickness, and frustration from losing two games in a row created a bad situation at Wheelersburg last year, and that was certainly an embarrassing loss. The argument between an assistant and a player's relative was a classic case of frustration and people losing their tempers. Again, not Hall's fault, but that contributed to the loss at Burg. I thought Hall did an outstanding job of getting his team back after that loss, and getting them to play well. Yeah, they lost to Chillicothe and GAHS in close games, but they played hard.
I don't know why Betschel chose to leave, but his family could afford to send him to IMG Academy and he thought that was his best route to a D1 offer. Does he have any offers? Hopefully he does, and if he doesn't, hopefully he gets one.
Parks missed his entire junior season due to a shoulder injury and decided not to play football this year because he has a chance to play college baseball. I don't see how that's Hall's fault, and it's probably a smart move by Nathan to not risk injury.
I don't know why Burd didn't play, but hopefully he comes back next year. There are about 50 or more other kids who did play, though, so they must've been willing to play for Hall.
I don't have a relative on the team and I don't know many of the kids personally, but I haven't heard anything about them not wanting to play for him. It seems to me that he's very enthusiastic, cares about Jackson football, and does his best for the players and the football program. Clearly that's not good enough for many people. What does everyone want? Every single coach that I can remember at Jackson has been criticized, even when they've been successful. There are just a lot of unrealistic people apparently, who want things their way and expect the coach to please every single person in the town.
