There have been all kinds of rumors going around about other coaches "applying" for the job. The job has not even been posted yet & I doubt that it will be until Dresden basketball season is over. The large majority of community members & players only want one man for the job & that is Chad Hodge. I would personally hate to be a coach coming in to Dresden as head coach behind the Hodge Bros. They have set the bar high for Dresden Football.

In recent years the word has been that Coady wanted out. He reportedly applied for any good job that came open. Not sure if he still feels that way or not.

 

That wasn't a rumor, that was true. Coady interviewed at a couple of places over the last few years. He is trying to "bump" up his retirement and by finishing his career at a higher paid salary, he could accomplish that.

Seriously, I hope they give the brother a shot at it or he will be in Murray before the school year is over getting ready. I keep hearing Lampkins too.

Chad Hodge should get the job.. End of story. If not, then it could be a huge mistake.

 

On a side note, however, I believe the players that are there now will buy in to whoever is coaching and their philosophy. Coaches run the program, but players run the team and ultimately decide the outcome. Hard work pays off no matter who is coaching as long as the players are level-minded and cooperative and work hard day in and day out.

 

Should be interesting to see how this whole coaching dilemma plays out.

 

Go Lions!

I don't think people on here realize Chad's offensive background is more impressive than his defensive background.  He was the offensive coordinator for years at Henry Co. before he came to Dresden and they averaged in the upper 30's and 40's and went to 3 straight semifinal games in 4A and 5A.  He has developed a pretty impressive resume over the last decade.  If you guys aren't smart enough to hire him as your head coach then we will take him here in Huntingdon.  With him and Swenson together we might win a few State Championships in a row.  Schools are going to go after him if you guys pass him up.

I find it curious that Dresden did not try to give Hodge a raise in order to keep him at Dresden.

Amen brother. I'd like to see him calling the offense and give the D over to coach Deberry.

For the sake of accuracy only, I feel I need to challenge the above . I have the highest regard for Chad as a teacher and a coach but he was never OC at Henry County. That position was held by Brian Wyatt during Gaddis's whole time here in Paris. Chad worked intimately with the offense during that time but never held the OC position.

I'm not arguing with you Olddevil but that is your opinion.  Titles arent everything.  Chad has worked both sides of the ball with the success no one else in this area can compare.   He is a special guy that someone is fixing to get.  How is HC shaping up this winter/spring?  I heard something about one of your coaches having a severe illness and is getting treated for it.  How is he doing?

FF '70, I said "for the sake of accuracy only". I,too, think he would make you an excellent head coach and hope that he gets it if he wants it.However, that's only the opinion of an old man from Henry County and not worth much. Over here, we are working hard. We have the potential to be very, very good and make another long run in the playoffs. But ,as you know, there's many a slip twixt cup and lip !! The coach you mentioned is going through a tough ordeal but we pray for, hope, and expect a full recovery.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
