So they hire basically the same coach that just left. You had a coach that won a title an ran split back veer and everyone hated it down there. Kids were transferring cause of offense. Well now you hire a coach that runs the wing-t and hasn’t won a title. I’m just curious to what is the major difference now.

Kids didn’t leave because of the offense Cummings ran. Cummings only ran the Veer his first year at Cleveland. Kids left because nobody liked him and the way he ran things. Kids, parents and even other coaches didn’t even want to coach along side him. He wasn’t even like in the community.

Gotta be the right “fit” at Cleveland regardless of x and o’s ability.  Best of luck to him.

Have watched Marty Wheeler coach from afar. I can tell you, you guys in Cleveland got a great coach and a great leader of young men. The teams at Covington high have always been well coached and well disciplined on and off of the field. Hopefully people will accept him and his ways, because I promise you, if you buy in, he will make that a winning program year in and year out.

That’s exactly what we need. Talent, facilities, funds, resources are there for him at Cleveland. But also need discipline and a strong leader as a coach to put it all together

My son played for Marty for four years and I guarantee the kids will love him!! We won lots of ballgames and went to state title game his senior year then again this year. He was also assistant on two charger teams that played for state championships. If I’m not mistaken didn’t Oakland win the championship in 6-a running the wing t —just saying it can be done. It all comes down to the fundamentals,blocking and tackling and I guarantee he’ll teach that.I hate to see him leave!!

My son played for him as well. I’m also the Covington Booster Club President for the last 4 years. I will say as a parent and president that I’m a Marty Wheeler fan. If your kids buy in and the community supports him Cleveland will do great. I’ll definitely be a Cleveland fan now. He left our program a heckuva lot better than when he took over.

Been a friend of Coach Wheelers for awhile.   He's a regular on our show and very entertaining.   Great personality and the kids love him.   Better than that, he knows how to assemble a staff and he's one heck of a Coach!   To the guy with the remarks about not winning a title...…….  He would of won the last two if he wasn't in the same class as Alcoa!   How many "champions" over the last two years would of beaten that Alcoa squad?  (in any class)

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • 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.
