dognation2 359 Posted May 7, 2018 The dynamics of Fort Knox makes this job as well as any coaching job on Fort Knox almost impossible to succeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MSU-70 10 Posted May 7, 2018 Good luck coach. Offense he will run? Defense he will run? I think the Single wing on offense is what I read on another site...not sure about the defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MSU-70 10 Posted May 8, 2018 I stand corrected....it does say Wing T...which is very similar to the single wing except from under center....good luck to Fort Knox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gchs_uk9 3,476 Posted May 8, 2018 Welcome to the graveyard of coaching. No stability with roster. They were very successful in the past when Fort Knox as a base was larger and more stable. If I'm not mistaken, there are fewer and fewer soldiers stationed at Fort Knox anymore and many come in and out rather quickly, which keeps the school from developing athletic team rosters. Many of the permanent soldiers at the base live in and send their kids to Hardin County schools. Its an almost unwinnable situation but I applaud the school, administration, coaches, and families for continuing to provide athletic opportunities for the kids.

MSU-70 10 Posted May 8, 2018 A great book on the single wing The Single Wing and a Prayer | by Keith Piper I read it wrong...they used to run the single wing and had moderate success with the offense. Now they are going to the Wing T with the new coach...which as I mentioned earlier are similar offenses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Straitshooter 10 Posted May 8, 2018 You take this job with the understanding that priorities are different in the lives of these kids. I read that article a couple years ago about the school programs that had to stop practicing and I think even cancel a game because the government was in a shutdown for a temporary amount time. I applaud anyone that wants to take on this type of job, and results shouldn't be the deciding factor on whether he is a successful coach or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JudasPriest 21 Posted May 8, 2018 Just curious...does one need to be a military member to coach/teach at Ft. Knox? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
