Re: High School Players Getting "Offers"

An OFFER doesn’t necessarily mean much more than, “we could see you in our program” in most cases.

Re: Marion Local Football 'The Elephant In The Room'

I was at a clinic where Coach Goodwin was speaking at. Not sure it was the same one teach1coach2 was referring to. Anyway, I simply asked him if I could visit and talk some football. So a few weeks later, I drove over to Maria Stein and talked with him for almost 2 hours. Later that year I went and...

Not to downplay the dalliances, but there were a lot of other problems with the situation, too.

Re: Rio Grande Bringing Back Football

Going for a high school coach isn’t going to accomplish anything. Coaching a homogenous group of high schoolers that you’ll have consistent upflow with from a JR high isn’t transferable to maintaining a program of adults (of various ages and backgrounds) — a program that you have to tie together, o...

Re: Rio Grande Bringing Back Football

I think if contacted Woodward would have to take the call. His wife is a professor at SSU so maybe Rio tries to offer some kind of deal for everyone. He’s been a coach/teacher for more than 20 years, what does that do for retirement? Could he defer retirement? Didn’t he play at Ohio Wesleyan? So he...

Re: Rio Grande Bringing Back Football

Wondering if pay will be good enough to get a good high school to take the job. anything less than six figures is essentially a lateral move to a tecaher with 20 years who is used to getting supplementals. But the more I think about it, who can afford the job? An experienced HS teacher/coach with a...

Re: Rio Grande Bringing Back Football

1000? lol. It's probably only a slight exaggeration. The number of guys who would take any first college HC job just to step to the next one is nuts, beacuse they believe EVERY JOB IS JUST A STEP ON THE WAY TO THE BIG TIME. This is why I believe a local HS guy is the best fit. Get a guy who you cou...

Re: Oak Hill Declines TVC Offer: Remains in SOC

Thank God. The TVC dodged a bullet with that one. Not if the SOC decides to expand and poach River Valley and Wellston. OH would’ve evened the Ohio division. I would like to see the TVC rotate the non conference week because it’s a lot more difficult to find a non conference game every year for VC ...

Re: River Valley Job

The district has to take the allegation seriously so I figure he is on paid administrative leave until the investigation finds out what is going on. Until then the assistants will have to take up the slack. If he is cleared he will be back teaching and coaching. This would of been turned over the p...

Re: River Valley Job

RV needs to be very careful here. Even if nothing can be “proven”, do you really want these allegations surrounding your school? You can’t turn a blind eye ever again on this stuff. On the other hand, if someone made up a story and absolutely nothing happened then he should be cleared in the public...
