Logan Chieftains Head Coach Dale Amyx resigns

Stepping down after 20 years as the coach of the Chieftains. Big loss to the Chiefs. Rumor is that Kelly Wolfe will be the next Head Coach.

His run over the last 12 years is, to put it lightly, unbelievable, 11 winning seasons (including 9 years with at least 8 wins) without a single losing season. 7 playoff appearances (with 4 of them coming in Division I) and 10 Southeastern Ohio Athletic League titles. The 12 year run includes 4 unbeaten regular season teams [2000 (12 wins), 2001 (10 wins), 2008 (11 wins), 2009 (11 wins)], 2 9 win teams (1999 and 2007), and 3 8 win teams (1998, 2005, 2006).

Amyx career record was 140-71 for a .660 win percentage. Amyx won 13 SEOAL Championships in 20 seasons.

Coach Amyx defined class, big loss for the Chiefs. Whoever takes over it will be a tough act to follow.

Probably some teams in the SEOAL glad to hear that. Thats quite a resume.

You're an SEOAL man Pig, what is your take on this? He has been there a long time, just very simply thought it was time to go?

Had the opportunity to Coach against Amyx. Class individual. I'm sure he wished his playoff run was a little deeper, but he was able to walk away from coaching on his terms after back to back 10-0 seasons.

Not too sure that the SEOAL is breathing a sigh of relief. Amyx was, for years, an I and 5-3 man, preparing for Logan was a lot like preparing for Ironton. You knew what they were going to run, but in many cases couldn't stop them. A few years ago he handed the offense over to Kelly Wolfe who spread them out and really exploited the weakness of a high school secondary. If Wolfe lands the job expect Logan to only be down next year because they lost the talent of Angle and Mays...and that might not even be enough to hold back the Chieftains.
