Good luck to the new coach and to the HC kids, I hope it works out well. Fans support the new coach, he is gonna be working hard as he can to win give him time.

I just doubt that they really got into the football side of things in the hiring process.

Give him time? He's taking over a program that is arguable at one of its most successful points in recent history, and he's taking over in January which gives him plenty of time to install his system

Throw in the fact that they have had 40-50 guys on a regular basis at winter workouts and the 8 months before the 1st game should be all the time he needs.

Southwestern HS (Pulaski) assistant/ offensive coordinator Coach Jason Spencer is the new man in charge for Henry County, according to reports. best of luck to Coach Spencer, Henry Players and fans in the future. Did the AD/girls bball coach drop the ball again? only time will tell.

Old Henry Man · 01-20-2011, 03:43 PM

I agree, I wish Coach Spencer the best of luck.

Old Henry Man, do you know anything about Coach Spencer? such as history/player relationship/ community relationship/ youth league/middle school involvement? His vision for the future of Henry County Football? Spencer seems like a mystery man to this point. Not much out there about him. He landed a great job though, just anxious to see what he does with it, and his approach to building success with all the available resources he will have at Henry.

He was my track coach at SWHS. He is a great guy and will be a great coach for the Henry County fans.

**GetChili** · 01-20-2011, 03:59 PM

In his first season as our track coach, he led us to a region title.

Gocolts13 · 01-20-2011, 04:03 PM

good to hear GetChili, sounds like he is a great track coach, but not a whole lot of speed at Henry, so what about his Football coaching GetChili?

**GetChili** · 01-20-2011, 04:10 PM

Well, he has coached at SWHS for 4 seasons at different spots - RBs, DBs, Special Teams, and this season Off. Coordinator. I talked to him and he is very excited about being the new head coach.

I am glad to hear this.
I will be happy to meet the man, when the snow is gone and he can get here.

What do the kids that played under him think of him? Is he popular with the players?

**GetChili** · 01-20-2011, 04:21 PM

Yeah, everyone liked him. My brother played for him and he liked him a lot.

Good to hear. His attitude will go along way in determining his success at this school.:Thumbs:

So he was the OC for ONE season?

Where did he go to HS? Play college ball?
