Well…maybe we haven’t ever won a State Championship, but we’ve been to the playoffs for 24 consecutive years and played deep in the playoffs each season. I would love to see Calallen win a State Championship, but I also love that we’ve had the consistency of being in the playoffs every year for 24 years. I love our 7 state semi-final appearances in 15 years and our State Championship appearance in 2005. I love that at week 10, 11, 12 and beyond, we know we’re still playing. I really feel for schools that win a championship and then fall off the planet for several years with nothing else to show for themselves other than what happened way back when. You may have the state championships of the 50s and 70s, but if you say you wouldn’t want the success that Calallen has had the last 25 years, you’re a liar. Without a doubt you would have preferred to have been in the playoffs the other 21 years in the last 30 when your equipment was packed up and you were watching other teams play. You think Region III is so much tougher than 4A? How about the fact that over the last five years, a team from Region IV has either won the championship or played for it. You didn’t strike any nerve with me regarding Phil Danaher because he is a good friend and I know exactly what his choice will be today. Calallen isn’t a bit worried because we know there’s no comparison between the two. See you in the playoffs – if you get there.

Danaher withdraws his name after interview with PNG officials!!!! Awesome! Come on home Coach D! Calallen LOVES you! GO CATS!!!!!!!!!

A program that has experienced major success over the years? I would say that only 6 district championships, 9 playoff appearances and only three 10 win or more seasons – all in the last 30 years – isn’t exactly what I’d call major success. The truth of the matter is that PNG would love to have what Calallen has experienced in the last 25 years and they can’t even come close to that achievement. They may have better facilities and players that are more talented, but the honest truth is that PNG is nothing more than a mediocre program and Danaher would be crazy to leave the powerhouse he’s built to take a chance on a program that’s done nothing but produce a one-hit wonder team in 1999 with Dustin Long at quarterback. And how exactly does a team with a 3rd year starter returning at quarterback only produce a 3-6 season? Danaher is a smart man and when the chips are on the line – he’ll realize that PNG is a legend only in their own minds. They are doing exactly what we rag on GP for doing – living off past accomplishments in the 1970s. But the real question is “what have you done lately?†and the answer is NOT MUCH!
