It was his daddy who shoved an assistants wife after the refs called the game with like 3 min left. Also he is the one coach who talked BI into going for it on 4th down inside their 20 in 2009 when they beat us at home.

Complete idiocy. No, he's not.

Who the hell hadn't they ran off? He's the first coach at Pound to beat Clintwood in almost 3 decades and because they didn't win state they "ran him off". Pound beat CLintwood in 88, so it was not even close to 3 decades! Your the moron

I'd seriously doubt it but since you have alterior motives, I'll let you go with that.

I have no motives other than to speak my mind, Jason Mullins was a joke, easily one of the worst coaches ever, 99% of his players and parents at Pound thought so too. Central will suck with him as their head coach.

"99% of his players and parents at Pound thought so too. Central will suck with him as their head coach."

Again, wrong. Most of the kids loved him. A lot used to post on here and would tell you the same. Using Pound parents as anything to base an argument on shows what a dolt you are. Football Jesus could have coached them and they'd have bitched, whined, got him fired, and sat in on the next round of coaching hires to pick the next guy they wanted to run off. If Central sucks, it's because they're in a district with Burton, Clintwood, and a combined PV/Appy.

You're a complete moron. I'm done with you.

Jason was a joke? the only reason it seems this way is because most of the time there is about 5% of kids at pound that actually try and want to play ball maybe not even that many........Jason only got the blame because he was the easiest target.......

Salyers resigns head football post

WISE — Veteran coach B.I. Salyers informed Central High and Wise County school officials Thursday that he was relinquishing his opportunity to be the new consolidated high school’s first head football coach.

Salyers’ resignation came after a disagreement with the Wise County school system’s central office concerning his use of the school system’s gas pumps in Wise.

Former Pound head coach and J.J. Kelly assistant coach Jason Mullins was named interim head coach by Central High principal Charles Collins upon Salyers’ resignation.

Central High, which is a consolidation of J.J. Kelly and Pound high schools, will play its first season of football this fall. Salyers’ resignation came just 17 days before the Aug. 1 start of practice for the Warriors.

Salyers’ disagreement with the Wise County school system’s hierachy including Superintendent Dr. Jeff Perry stemmed from his filling a private vehicle with gas from the school system’s pumps to which the former J.J. Kelly High coach had been issued a key.

Salyers had borrowed the vehicle in question, a pickup truck, to haul a piece of weight room equipment from Maryville, Tenn., to the Central High weight room at Carroll Dale Stadium in Wise.

“I don’t think what I did was wrong because I was doing it for the school and the kids,” Salyers said. “I have all the respect in the world for Jeff Perry, but when he said putting gas from those pumps into a private vehicle was illegal — that’s when I decided to resign.”

Salyers said that he has often used his personal vehicle for school-related matters without asking to be reimbursed by the school system. In this instance, he said he was replacing the gas used in transporting a leg machine from Maryville to Wise that will be used by Central’s football players, athletes in other sports at the school and physicial education weight training classes.

Salyers, who graduated from J.J. Kelly in 1986, returned to his high school alma mater as head football coach in 2004 after successful stints of leading the gridiron fortunes at St. Paul and Castlewood.

In seven seasons at J.J. Kelly, Salyers led the school to a 32-40 record including a couple of Division 2 playoff appearances. Beginning with the 2008 campaign, J.J. Kelly posted records of 7-4, 8-3 and 7-3 in Saylers’ final three seasons at the county seat school before its merger with Pound.

Mullins served as an assistant in Salyers’ program at Kelly after stepping down as Pound’s head coach following the 2006 season. He compiled a 17-33 overall ledger in five seasons at Pound. His best season at Pound was the ‘05 campaign when the Wildcats posted a 6-4 mark.

OH well. I wonder if he went to get the equipment without prior approval from the "powers that be". If he did, then I don't think it could be considered to be illegal unless they told him to use a county owned vehicle. This sounds like maybe Dr. Perry sould be looking into other people's usage of the gas card/key, or whatever it may be.

Nonetheless, since it was for the students at Central, then what would be the problem?

**TheBeast** · July 19th, 2011, 01:02 PM

I am gonna go ahead and call a big BS on that there is something more to this than that, you don't resign over something like that. You say we used the truck for county business and I figured it would be easier than submitting receipts and being reimbursed. If the policy is to not use the pumps and submit receipts then that's fine thanks for the heads up so we don't do it again. Heck the county even has gas cards they will issue for things such as this. I have used my personal trucks more times than I can count hauling stuff for Coeburn football and I would just go by the gas station in town and charge it to the school, or more recently just get the gas card from Coach Hamilton or Mr. Lee. I understand why BI would have access to the county pump and not be able to just charge at a station in town since he is in town and right beside the pump unlike the other schools in the county. I can also see where Dr. Perry would say something about it in case someone was to drive by and see him filling so and so's truck and not know the reason and get upset about it. Heck that may have been what happened someone saw him doing it and called and complained about it.
