I would like to take a minute to send a post to everyone one following this page. With a certain amount of reluctance, I am officially resigning as head coach of the Uintah basin oilers. I also want to announce that I am selling my shares of the corporation Uintah Basin Oilers, inc. to Jeremy Conetah. With that said, I would like to thank all my friends and family with a special thanks to Karla Bristol Slaugh for all of the support that you have given me and my team as I have hopefully re-sparked an interest in the game of football in the Uintah Basin. I would also like to thank Todd Shiner for the support and loyalty that he has given me. We coached the Oilers for 4 1/2 seasons finishing with a record of 19 wins and 18 losses in seasonal play. 1-1 in pre-season play and also 1-1 in the 2012 playoffs. One game away from a championship.
I have coached football for 15 years. 12 years in the little league program in Vernal at the 7th and ...8th grade level. 4 1/2 years with the Oilers and one season with the Uintah High Sophomores.
I have decided to move on and focus on my life with my family. I have so many wonderful memories going back to 1998. Many of those kids are now grown and have their own families. A few names that I will never forget, and I feel I need to mention, Colton havens, Dakota Havens, hunter Murray, Caden Postma, Andrew shiozaki, Shane priest, Braxton coonis, Riley domichele, treygan daniels. I know I've missed several but there are literally hundreds. Everyone who played for the Oilers. It has been a real journey.
I would like to wish all you Oilers players that are going to continue to play the best of luck. Jeremy has a lot of passion and will do a great job with the team.
Good luck and thanks again.
An added thanks to Shane P Jackson, Micky Kiever, Jason Jason Maynard, Brandon Johnson, and all the wives that made it possible.
