We can now start somewhere else and have something else to go by.

Doubt they "miss the playoffs".

I have no doubt the kids did not appreciate losing the other coach but they could care less about the age of the new coach. You drew a lot of conclusions that are not known by assuming the hiring parties logic. The "2-8 guy" is also a "State Champion guy". The kids will make their assessment as the program gets implemented. If it goes well they forget that Prieto was ever there. If it goes poorly there will be second guessing. There is nothing wrong with the hire on paper. It is just not what "you" wanted.

LOL. You think the kids are thinking "we will not play for a 60 year old coach"?

What is the outlook for HF?

"Zero experience"? Seems very plausible. Where did you get your valuable "experience" to be able to "assess coaches" knowledge"?

Got it. Dubois used "rhyme and reason", Crueder/Trahan "just guessed and called random plays with no logic or forethought". Crueder/Trahan "did not get the concept" and got their jobs how?

CH

Understood. Pretty sure they have not played a game yet.

I am acquainted with the coaching staff. I am also aware that no 4A Varsity play caller in the state would "make random play calls without rhyme or reason. Not one. Not Anywhere.

Lol. They drew random play out of hat with no rhyme or reason? Yeah, that is what coaches do

Yes, Stop discussing on the forum. We like forums with no discussion.

Yes, it will look very similar. Matthews is an outstanding mind on Slot T.

Yep, They just ran off the coach who took Crosby to their first State Title game. Probably be different with someone else who is "better".

Understood. The point was that they just ran off "the best" they ever had. I really have not seen many AD/HFC anywhere that were not good at "molding young men". In terms of "molders of young men", every school and corresponding group of kids get that with almost every HC. Things change when the community gets sideways with the HC and begins to invent things to be disgruntled about. Then they start fabricating the rest of whatever story they want to believe.

Exactly. Crosby just ran off the coach that had the best run in the history of the program. Now the peanut gallery is talking about "what the kids deserve". The kids deserve whatever they get, no different than what the kids "deserve" in every other district.

With 55 graduating, will they have an equal replacement? However, they did look pretty aggressive at multiple spots on defense.

Agree 100%. And I expect them to drop back a bit this year.

You can practice whether school is in or not. Many sports practice through holidays. The trade off for the schools going to the 4 day week is that loss some of the things like "Fall Break" and 'Winter Break".

Why would someone “baby sit them all day on Friday”? They come in at 12:30-1. School day lengthened 20 minutes vs no sleep on Thursday night? Every coach on the planet is there for the 20 minutes anyway.

Agree 110%. "Going to school/class" does not motivate a kid more than a "game".

Most coaches like sleep Thursday night/Friday morning combined with not having to deal with the classroom on game day. Kids will show for the game. Would be different showing for practice. I know many coaches who are doing the 4-day week at various districts. Not a single one of them has said they had a problem getting kids to show up on game day.

Events on Fridays will occur with: 1. less stress on coaches 2. coaches that had sleep the night before. 3. coaches who can focus on football and not lessons or drama in the classroom

Just saw he is on the list at #30. Getting old is tough.

Didn't Huffman have a player (Keith Foulke) who was an American League All-Star, led the A.L. in saves, received Cy Young votes twice, and got the last out in the World Series for the Red Sox? Seems like he would have been on the list somewhere. Unless I missed it.
