Wellston Job

[BytheNumbers]

I think you are correct Ty Webb. Everyone knows what's coming so why even narrow the field? It seems as though they are wasting some of these guys' time. Just name Phillips the coach and move on. They are also hurting the kids. Every day that goes by is a day that a lot of kids aren't working out and are wondering who their next coach will be.

What if they offer the job to Phillips and he turns it down?

It makes sense to go through the interviewing process in case they actually need to go to a second choice, in my opinion.

Why would Greg Phillips apply for the job, none the less, interview for the job....only to turn down an offer. That makes no sense.

Plus, people in Oak Hill are already grumbling about the whole thing. I saw Wellston and Oak Hill are hooking up next year. That'll be interesting.

I like Greg. He's a good coach and works hard at his job. I can see why he wants to come home and coach Wellston. Its just gonna be a weird transition going from Oak Hill to Wellston. Sorta like going from the Penthouse to the Out house.

I love how people put Oak Hill on a pedastal like they're a football god because they had two good season! I hope coach phillips is hired at Wellston so week 4 when they travel down rt. 93 to face the Oaks they wax some a** and us wellston fans come home laughing and smiling!

Thats a little harsh there Ty , It wasnt long ago Wellston would have been considered the penthouse. Wellston went from 1996 to 2006 without a losing season.Two TVC titles and two playoff apperences, far from the outhouse. That with four different head coaches. The last three seasons have been a struggle but nothing most teams dont go through.

[goldenboy]

Thanks Boiler for backing up!

I think TY is refering to the facilities at Oak Hill compared to Wellston...not the job itself. Oak Hill has a fine new field and field house.

[goldenboy]

That they do, but Wellston also has a real nice grass field with new renovations coming this season and they have a real nice weight room for not having a new field!

[Dundas]

Wellston did get a much needed set of visitor bleachers. What else is getting renovated gb? It would be nice if they leveled the old penn station and toms, to make a parking lot!

[Boss429]

Not a shred of inside info but, why would Coach Phillips turn this job down (Ty Webb)? Maybe it's about $$$$. What if Wellston is only willing to pay a certain number of years. A lot of school districts only pay for 10 yrs. I am guessing he might have more. That could be a lot of $$$. Someone posted way back that he wanted/needed a new weightroom and a lifting class. Maybe the "powers that be" didn't/couldn't approve those things. Who knows? Amid all this speculation, maybe after the interview Phillps just decided he didn't want to go back and likes Oak Hill. I've said all along that I think the alumi thing gets a coach thinking, but he has a very nice team coming back next year. He might have scratched the itch with the interview and has a much stronger itch to return to the state playoffs again this year!!!! That ain't happening at Wellston this year.

[boilermaker]

I will be shocked if Greg Phillips is not named head coach at Wellston as early as tomorrow.

[goldenboy]

Boiler, I heard they were annoucing Thursday Im not sure if thats true but just what I heard!

[BytheNumbers]

Did they do a second round of interviews or did they just narrow the field for, apparently, no reason? Goldenboy. . . what renovations are coming this year. I think they need to put in a new home side. The visiting fans have a nicer place to sit than the home fans who buy season tickets. They also need to repair the driveway/parking lot. I went up to a few games last season and thought I was going to have to do some auto repair afterwards.

[goldenboy]

I not exactly sure what new renovations are coming but they are holding a speghetti dinner to raise money for some!

[BytheNumbers]

They better sell a he!! of a lot of spaghetti if they expect to do renovations with that money. When and where is this taking place? Are they getting the spaghetti from the Lazy Italian? My family loves spaghetti. We'll have to be sure to go.

[Dundas]

The best thing for Wellston to do is to get a price gouging Hospital to come to town...they will take care of the rest for you!

[boilermaker]

LOL @ Dundas.....Thats funny right there I dont care who you are.
I am hearing that there will be a new sports complex @ Wellston . More details as I learn them.

Dundas did you play Basketball for John Royster?

[Dundas]

I sure hope they get one Boiler...they need it and deserve it and im sure it would help with geting kids to come out if they had a facilities to really be proud of.

No I didnt play ball for John..I watched a lot of his games from the student section though! He is a very funny man and a heck of a golfer!

[Old*rocket]

from what i just heard the job is in phillips hands,but its up to him to say yes or no to what was offered to him.was told if he turns it down matt queen will be named head coach wednesdy night..

[goldenboy]

old*rocket i heard the same thing!
