Its Official: Lacking hired as Dunbar Head Football Coach; Set to come on Fox Sports Dayton tomorrow

Its OFFICIAL: James Lacking Hired as new Dunbar Football Coach;
Will talk on Fox Sports Dayton Sunday

After negotiations broke down between Dayton Public Schools with former Dunbar football coach Corey Freed, the job was open for the taking.

After hearing some of the names that wanted the job, it was obvious that the Wolverines position was a hot spot. The likes of former NFL player Keith Byars, among others, in the running, gave DPS a lot to think about.

However, when it was all said and done, James Lacking, one of the top football coordinators in Southwest Ohio, was awarded the job.

Lacking played for the Dunbar Wolverines in the late 80's, early 90's, alonside the likes of #1 NFL Draft pick Dan "Big Daddy" Wilkinson, and that extremely talented team that went to the playoffs.

He then would attend Urbana and would play on the offensive and defensive line for the Knights.

After that Lacking would instantly jump into coaching, and  after 20 years of coaching, Lacking felt like his time was now.

"Im very grateful for the opportunity" Lacking stated, and has a message for the Dunbar community.
"We need the full support of the entire Dunbar nation, in order to turn this around." Lacking stated.

Despite having a few legends that were wanting the job?
Dayton Public Schools made the right decision giving Lacking the opportunity.

"Coach Lack" as he is known to be called in football circles, is a true blue Wolverine, who put in 24 years of  coaching throughout the city. He has always been a class act, and will resurrect some much needed energy and positivity into one of the high profile programs in all of Ohio.
