If that happens, does Dial try to schedule Dalton as Tuslaw's head coach?

I would immediately try to get that back on the schedule - though Dalton would 1000% say no (because they know what would happen)If that happens, does Dial try to schedule Dalton as Tuslaw's head coach?

Jimmy's and Joe's have been the same in Dalton for a long time - look at football before Dial, look at football the 1 year Dial took off. X's and O's make all the difference in the world.Heard similar things about Leek.
187 - sheesh.
Dalton is a great community that has had very strong athletics for a long time, I don’t expect that to change now. They are coming off a great run of talent the last 7-8 years and I’m not saying there won’t be a dip, but the cupboard is not bare.

Based on his track record, he doesn't stay in one place very long. I remember seeing his name every time a Youngstown area job opened up around the covid years. He has assistant stops at football powerhouses: Southington Chalker, Waterloo, and East Canton. I put the over/under on him being in Dalton at 2 years.

So 20-33 as a head coach 1-2 in the playoffs. Wow. Impressive hire.Don't forget 1-9 at Mapleton
I love that they put out to the media that there were 14 applicants. This is the best you had out of 14 applicants? Those 13 others must have been real doozies

Phys Ed degree huh? Wonder what job they're creating for him at the school?! Do Dean of Students positions pay enough to move a whole family from Cambridge to the Dalton area?

Is there even a school close enough to Dalton to transfer out. Is Lucas or Norwayne an option. You know Im not familiar with those farm lands
Is there any viable option for those kids who still want to succeed and have the means to transfer

Orrville, Tuslaw, and some Wayne Co. League Rivals would all be options for the students of Dalton if they decided to transfer.Is there even a school close enough to Dalton to transfer out. Is Lucas or Norwayne an option. You know Im not familiar with those farm lands

Lots of options out there..... Tuslaw is interesting because of how close it is, if coach Dial would go there I would not be surprised if a couple kids follow him. I can't confirm this, but I heard Tomlinson is a Tuslaw kid to begin with......would be really really interesting if that was true.....

How about to the City of Warren to call home, plenty of opportunity to broaden ones horizons
Always wanted to stay up north where he's from so we knew he wouldn't be here long. It happens so whatever. That being said, two of my kids played for him and enjoyed being with him.

To go from being D7 state runner up with Coach Dial to this new hire with a 20-33 record at the land of Cambridge Glass and the Grecian delights of The Forum restaurant, with no offense to said new coach or the community of Dalton, I humbly present to you the symbolic representation of the Dalton Local Schools Football Coach Hiring Committee:

Maybe not completely bare..........but there are several classes in the system who struggle mightily to scratch out any wins in several sports. You never want to write kids off in middle school, but it is very unlikely that a team goes from a league bottom feeder in middle school to a top 1-3 team in high school.Heard similar things about Leek.

What style of football do his teams play? Are his teams typically run heavy?

Regardless of style - losing to Kirtland by 40 to start the season is gonna create a real uphill battle. But not to worry - the administration and brain trust will blame that loss on coach Dial....

If I remember correctly, that is why Mapleton hired him to replace Mahaney because he would continue that style of offense.He loves to throw it. Here's some flavor:

5-5 if he's lucky. New QB. Replacing almost everybody upfront. Norwayne will roll. Hillsdale will be good. Smithville will be improved. Rittman brings back quite a bit from last years team that was successful Sonego at RB is a handful.
Yeah. Probably not the style most Dalton fans will be excited about. Successful Dalton teams have always been physical, blue collar type teams. This will be a tough transition. Dalton does have some good receivers returning. Sophomore QB will face a learning curve though.

Sounds a little like Phil Here Today Gone To Mauro type of coachSo, is the only thing we are analyzing about the new hire is his last season record?
I really don’t understand? I have a friend who lives in Cambridge, he said that town loved Leek despite an 0-10 record this past season. They had a great year the season previous to 0-10. Said he gets the kids and families involved.
