Coach Triplett didn't have a chance. He was stepping in to a situation that was almost impossible to overcome. I have heard and read that Coach Lutz was having his problems with the current administration at Ironton and if someone of his stature has trouble, then almost no one has a chance. Congrats to Coach Triplett on finding a coaching job tht he is happy with. I hope he has a long successful tenure as Portsmouth West's new head coach.

Coach Triplett did do a good job. He was brought in to a no win situation. I'd like to see back on the sidelines at Ironton, but when the time is right. Its not now!

Okay, Tripplet didn't have a chance at Ironton. Lets just see what he does at Portsmouth West before he's made a scape goat or a savior. Time will tell.

Who will be his assistants?
