No, not true.

I coached for 30 years in Mississippi before retiring to HC so I know about penalties. I don't think a coach should be judged on a couple of penalties and a single ejection. He does need to calm down and I'll bet that he does. What HC fight are you talking about? I thought he did a great job at HC with Gaddis and he also did real good at Dresden. That's why I'm pulling for him.

Well your brother must the SAINT of all saints! Good for him!!! Too bad the new super wasn't looking for a saint to hire. As far as your embarrassment....GET OVER IT!

Coach Hodge is sometimes too passionate during a game. He lets poor officiating get to him sometimes. He was penalized on several occasions and was ejected once. I love the passion and my bet is that now that he's a head coach that it won't happen again (the penalties and ejection). The players and fans will love him and he WILL win!

What a foolish post......

I'm sure they do and I'm sure this doesn't surprise or bother them like it seems to bother you. This will pass and the talk on here will be Dresden football as it should be. But at the moment this is big news that the players expect. They love Hodge and are likely happy for him.

Great hire for McNairy!

Smart move. Dresden's loss is McNairy's gain and the gain will be big!

Waiting anxiously

I wasn't concerned your reading comprehension issues...I just stated that you had them. I'm actually not a Henry County guy although I did retire there about nine years ago. I coached for 30 years mostly in Mississippi. I don't really know Hodge personally but I have many contacts in coaching. He was not passed over for the Henry County job..,he didn't apply. In fact, what other jobs are you saying he was "passed over"? You are as inaccurate as they come.

I'm not a Dresden guy but some friends say the same things about Rang that you've said. I hope he does well.

He may be a great guy and a great coach. I hope he is and I wish him well. He's done nothing wrong. I hope Dresden continues their winning ways.

You have a comprehension problem and it's bad. Let me spell it out for you. Hodge was a big reason for the success at Dresden. If you disagree with that then you're a fool. The only type of coach who should've been hired over him would be a legendary coach..,a state championship coach. If Dresden had just come off of a bad few years then Hodge shouldn't have been considered at all. This isn't about Rang. The administration should've hired Hodge because of what he did THERE at Dresden...UNLESS they had a proven winner with championships on his resume.

I don't have to compare their resumes and the fact that you bring that up tells me that you're out of touch. Hodge had his success at Dresden. No other candidate can say that. Rang may do a great job, and I hope he does. The administration made a mistake. Your stubbornness won't allow you to admit that and that's ok. This is not about Rang. It's about an administration that made a mistake...and that doesn't mean that Rang isn't a good coach. I'm sure he's very good.

This disappointment has nothing to do with the kids. The administration didn't do what's best for the program or the players. Good luck to the new coach. He's not at fault either. I hope he does well. The administration has put him in a horrible position. Hodge was the best choice and his support was very strong. It should've been an easy choice. The administration made a mistake. That doesn't mean the new coach isn't good. But this is ridiculous.

It's done

The only way it shouldn't be Hodge is if they get a proven winner as a head coach. Otherwise the new coach starts at a disadvantage and with lukewarm support. I hope the administration has considered this.

I've heard exactly the same thing. I heard this two weeks ago too but they're running out of time so I guess I believe it this time.

I hope your source is better than mine. Mine should be a great one because he is close friends with one of the two who did the interviews. I'm at a loss as to why this is taking so long. Either it isn't going to be Hodge and they're bracing themselves, or it is Hodge and they don't have the good sense to announce it. What makes you think tomorrow?

I asked my friend that very question and his response was "I don't think so because one person has to sign off on it and he hasn't yet"

The latest information I have received this afternoon is that a decision has been made by those directly involved BUT there is another person who must give ultimate approval and he has yet to do so. That doesn't mean that he won't, but it means that he hasn't.

Where is he from? I talked to my friend just a few minutes ago and he didn't mention any change to what he had already told me EXCEPT that they seem in no hurry to make the call. I asked why not and he said that the "powers" are intent to do this on their own timeline and weren't concerned with what anyone thought about it. He reiterated that the decision had been made but the announcement may not be as quick as he once thought. I asked him if the job had been offered to someone and his response was "I really don't think so".

That information wasn't part of what I was told

With a 99% degree of accuracy...YES. But I'm sworn to secrecy. The only way that I know is one of my best friends is best friends with a key person in the selection process. Unless something falls through, it's done. I say 99% rather than 100% because I didn't hear it firsthand....but the guy who told me knows for sure.
