Re: New Coach at Northwest?

First, I'm sorry if anyone thought I was taking a shot a Coach Thompson. I wasn't. He was always an optimist. It's time for everyone to get behind the new coach. More dissention will have no positive effect. The Northwest boys and coaching staff must now make hay in the weight room. They had a great...

Re: New Coach at Northwest?

It was only a coincidence that I used the term bash or bashing. I wasn't directing anything at you and didn't feel insulted. I was just responding to comments made in general this past year or so not only on here but everywhere from coaches to administrators out there. Too many people accept that th...

Re: New Coach at Northwest?

I don't know why this is such a secret. As far as I know only two people interviewed for the job and I was one and I didn't get it. Brooks Frye was the other and all indications are he will be the next head coach. I also heard Mike Smith is returning to assist which is a good thing. The Northwest ki...

Re: Sciotoville East "new football coach"

I apologize. I was wrong to mention the former director. Todd played for me in the mid nineties and coached with me after graduation. He was also the offensive coordinator for Mike McCafferty. He has coached the "double wing" and "spread" offenses. Lance Davis has assisted Larry ...

Re: Sciotoville East "new football coach"

The complexion of the East leadership has changed. The past Director of Operations that I had issues with is gone and Wendell Skinner and Matt Hammer are now on the board. The hiring of Todd tells me that the board and administration are considering what is best for the kids at East . Todd is more t...

Re: Northwest (2-5 @ Minford (5-2)

I don't know what was said on the sideline but I know the Brown family doesn't blame Minford coaches or players. I'm sure if things happened as explained it was parents frustration of watching their son lie in agony on the sideline. I've heard of wives calling husbands every name in the book when gi...

Re: Question for officials?

Thanks. I was 90 percent sure when the call was made and 95 percent sure after looking it up in the rule book. I hope the guys reffing the game took the time to look it up too. I exaggerated nothing. I was careful to described the play as accurately as possible. Thanks again for the reponse.

Question for officials?

We had a junior high game tonight and there was a call that I thought was incorrect and just wanted to make sure to satisfy my own curiousity. Our team was attempting a pass, the pass rush forced the quarterback to scramble. The quarterback retreated deeper and deeper behind the line of scrimmage an...

Re: Chesapeake 39 Symmes Valley 33 3OT's

There are always those that don't like a coach for some reason or another and are just waiting for something to go wrong so they can take stabs at the coach. Sometimes it's because the head coach didn't want them as an assistant. Other times it's because a coach doesn't play their son at the positio...

Re: Sciotoville Community Tartans @ Northwest Mohawks-Week One

Normally, I wouldn't touch this post but I think it is important for the Northwest boys not to buy what many people are saying on here. Here are the facts. If Rawlins is in the backfield along with the Garretts then East has three good backs. Northwest has Taylor Horsely, Luke Brown, and Kreig Crabt...

Re: Northwest Bench and Deadlift meet

Bill, I think what you have done with the weight program proves your love and committment to Northwest High School. I understand that due to your need to get the proper certification you won't be able to coach this year and still you've put the time and effort into running this program while Scot wa...

Re: Possible Candidates for East Tartans Head Coach?

I agree with the statements made by Quassi totally. My last team at East had kids living in campers, kids living with their girlfriends families, kids living with court appointed guardians, kids living with grandparents and many living in less than optimal living conditions. Some kids were more of a...

Re: Green football 2009

When it was rumored that Coach Mercer was not returning I thought about the Green position but these rumors about me going to Green must be because I complimented Coach Mercer on another thread. I believe what I said. I didn't compliment him because I wanted something. I may work with Coach Mercer s...

Re: Possible Candidates for East Tartans Head Coach?

I know that the East job has already been decided. These coaches will get their opportunity to show what they can do. I wish them luck. I appreciate you reaching out though Mar_. You have a right to your opinion. I'm sure there have been many players I didn't see eye to eye with. I can live with that.

Re: Possible Candidates for East Tartans Head Coach?

Sportsfan 43 is probably right. I did probably screw things up for Todd but that wasn't my intention. My intention was to coach this past season and then step down and be Todd's assistant. I would have stayed as his assistant as long as he wanted me. I even talked to several board members trying to ...

Re: Old Timers SOC and South Central Ohio

The East vs. Northwest game may be the 1971 season. The lights were not working at Northwest so we played a Saturday day game. Northwest went up 14-0 before we got our sweep and defense going to come back to win the game. I may be able to help you if you want to send me a private message.

Re: Northwest Mohawks Head Coach-2008?

I thought long and hard about it but in the end I didn't go through with it. Snuff Smith was my coach, a friend, and a former colleague. Scot Thompson is his son-in-law. Another applicant is very close to me. I will not stand in either of these mens way. They may not of wanted me anyway. There are s...

Re: East football 2008

Now to football. The Tartans are loaded with great kids and talent. Rollins moving in just made a deep backfield deeper. Ehrhardt should help somewhere. There are several possibilities for quarterback. Who gets it will depend on what the new coach wants to do offensively. Sean Wright told me a few d...
