WE ARE LUCAS.

Have been all in on Dalton since 2016. Hard to believe that I watched the disaster that happened at JFK take place just 1 year ago and thought to myself this would never happen at Dalton because Coach Dial is going to be a lifer there and they've got a really good thing going! The team realizes they're potential after a week 1 slobber-knocker with Kirtland, makes it all the way to their first ever state title game....things have never been better! 3 1/2 months later, Dalton is literally following the JFK blueprints for how to F*** up a great thing. I'm in shock, I'm in disbelief. I'm mostly sad for the players - all the momentum was in the right direction, I really believed that the program was to a point that the large graduating class would not set them back a ton. Just yesterday we had them pegged as regional favorite if they stayed in R25.....now, 6 wins is realistic, maybe less.
I just don't get how the administration doesn't bend over backwards to keep Dial - and I guarantee they think they hit a homerun with this hire because that's the kind of arrogant people they have running things there. A guy who has basically been a .500 coach until he went 0-10 last season!
You obviously haven't been around very many Wayne Co. Peeps...no offense @Raylan_Givens or @thePITman. They are very arrogant. Remember, they are the reason competitive balance exists. They rival any suburb of Columbus, Cincy or Cleveland for number of people who believe they just know more than anyone else.I just don't get how the administration doesn't bend over backwards to keep Dial - and I guarantee they think they hit a homerun with this hire because that's the kind of arrogant people they have running things there.

Pretty sure all openings in R25 are now filled.
Lucas, Toronto, Lisbon? Did I miss some of these hires? was the 6 flat 40 guy the hire at Lucas? I've lost track.Pretty sure all openings in R25 are now filled.
Ok, spill it!!!!!!Pretty sure all openings in R25 are now filled.
Toronto hired someone two weeks ago. I forgot about Lisbon, it would be the last opening in 25 I believe.Lucas, Toronto, Lisbon? Did I miss some of these hires? was the 6 flat 40 guy the hire at Lucas? I've lost track.
Lucas hire will be known very soon. Been done for a week but became official last night.
You can find it pretty easily if you look at a certain section on the district website.
I found it. IMO, this was the right hire.You can find it pretty easily if you look at a certain section on the district website.
Agree. Will be interesting to see how he makes it his.I found it. IMO, this was the right hire.
Wayne Co is a really nice place. Good communities & great people.I don't feel like you come across as super arrogant. I am excluding you a @Raylan_Givens
I agree. That will be interesting for sure. 3 things I love about the hire:Agree. Will be interesting to see how he makes it his.
Totally agree. I have many friendships in Wayne County and know many great people who call it home now, or are from there. The institutions and schools in the county tend operate in a way that expresses a superiority or greatness over what anyone else thinks or does.Wayne Co is a really nice place. Good communities & great people.
That said, accurate self-perception is not one of their collective strengths.
So the implied threat is he HAS to do well because you already have his cell phone #?I agree. That will be interesting for sure. 3 things I love about the hire:
1. He is a Lucas guy through and through.
2. He is a good man who will want nothing more than to carry on the winning tradition.
3. He is a fellow '93 grad and a friend.
He WILL do well for the following reasons:So the implied threat is he HAS to do well because you already have his cell phone #?
This is painting with a VERY broad brush, but the area struggles between a "we don't need to change" attitude (ie - Waynedale taking 20+ years to get a new building approved because they wanted to save outdate buildings) and "we know what we're doing" (ie - Smithville/Schrock soap operat and now maybe Dalton).Totally agree.

100% agree. Many places have that, "we don't need to change" attitude when it comes to facilities, but they still are open to other things that help the programs be successful. Case in point: the people in Lucas refuse to build a new building because of a predominant attitude of, "I went to that building and it was fine for me." And Danville had people throwing a fit about the removal of a building that hasn't housed students in 20 years. It's not an arrogance thing more of a fear of change to me thing.This is painting with a VERY broad brush, but the area struggles between a "we don't need to change" attitude (ie - Waynedale taking 20+ years to get a new building approved because they wanted to save outdate buildings) and "we know what we're doing" (ie - Smithville/Schrock soap operat and now maybe Dalton).
It might be me, but I respect the first one more because it acknowledges that while there may be shortcomings but they're happy with what they are & have. The 2nd one is just so vanity driven it makes you feel bad for the kids who have to deal with the results.
He WILL do well for the following reasons:
- He comes from phenomenal parents. Great people.
- He knows what it takes to succeed, in life and on the field.
- He graduated from Lucas High School in 1993. We oooze excellence. It's second nature.
