That is nice to hear. Anything that may raise the level of competition for all the schools in the SOC is always a good thing.

Re: 2018 Minford Falcons Football Outlook
Looking at the schedule I think Minford needs to win 2 out of the 4 of these games at least to have a shot at 7-3 and maybe playoffs. Oak Hill, Nelsonville York, Waverly, West.
Re: 2018 Minford Falcons Football Outlook
What does the scrimmage schedule look like. I know the 17th we are at Fairland for the Jamboree and the 10th we play home against Piketon. Any others?

If true that’s big time for Minford IMO.handwash77 wrote: Sat Jul 21, 2018 5:59 pm I heard matiz left portsmouth and went back to minford. I believe he was the defensive coordinator.
Re: 2018 Minford
100% hit the nail on the head. I couldn't agree more with that statement. Sounds like to me, his Dad is teaching him the wrong way to handle things by quitting/ not playing if he doesn't get his way. How about teaching him to earn his spot thru hard work? Also, sometimes you'll have to play another position for the betterment of the team. That's what being a TEAM is all about.Proud_Pirate63 wrote: Tue May 01, 2018 8:59 pm If the kid is going to quit for not being the QB, then let him. The team is better off without him or his dad. You can’t let a kid or his parents tell you where he is going to play.
If the kid is a prima donna and the Dad is selfish by not teaching his kid to be team a player, then why even have them around? They're a cancer and will set a precedent of things to come in future years, so you're better off without them. Since when do parents control what happens in the locker room?

Well....it seems to happen at Minford regularly now. In several sports, both boys and girls sports.vladimir wrote: Wed Jul 25, 2018 7:16 pm100% hit the nail on the head.

no matter who replaced Daniels it was going to be tough..... but this sort of stuff just makes it worse
Re: 2018 Minford Falcons Football Outlook

Someone goes into construction can't say I want to be a crane operator today. You just might have to be a flagman for a while. Doesn't matter if you daddy is the governor.

If I remember correctly it was the original contract with Rock hill, they agreed to a 4 game contract with back to back home games for each team.
Re: 2018 Minford Falcons Football Outlook
I have no idea why ! Just looked at the schedule. Loss of a home gate $ !
Re: 2018 Minford Falcons Football Outlook
You figure if your wife is making the schedule she would be getting home games and games you can win for computer points. Like KY and WV teams, big school but not good enough to beat you!! Back in the 90’s and 2000’s up until 2010 Ironton, Portsmouth and Burg did it and got huge points!! Also how does ur wife hire you being athletic director? Or did she step down until he was hired then came back as his boss? I heard a lot of things are going on behind the doors no control on players. Last year in locker room and showers and again this year. That’s what you get when your wife is ur boss and don’t come down hard on you, just slap hands!! I know this is true because it was on social media and it’s happening again this year.i was shown, sad, 2 years in a row. I know Matiz will not take that crap and there will be discipline. He is ur old school kind of guy, great man!
Re: 2018 Minford
I was thinking the same thingtransplant wrote: Tue May 01, 2018 3:57 pm I thought Ruby was the coach, not a kids dad? Minford would rather have a kid play QB just so he wont quit as oppose to playing a kid at QB that puts his team in a better position to win games?

I have talked to some of the kids on the track team and they seem to say they only do it to get on ruby's good side. With the Kelly situation you could go either way, many parents and kids say the only reason he starts is so he won't quit, but that could also just be from parents and kids who are scorned that they don't have a spot on the team. I will say though, it is kind off fishy how the kid doesn't play his Freshman year under Daniels, or his Sophomore year when Tyler McCormick held the reigns, and magically in his Junior year when the QB job was wide open, he decides he wants to play?![]()
The dad apparently gave the former coach the ultimatum of his kid playing QB (Starting) or he wasnt playing. So he was told to hit the road because the dad wasnt the coach.
Under the new coach, the same ultimatum was made and granted. So he played and started.
When I say "apparently", all of the current coaches and former coaches under Daniels know about both situations. Its common knowledge. I also dont have anything against the dad, but he has and continues to rub people the wrong way in Minford by telling them how to coach even though he never played a high school sport. Its just a mess at this point.
Daniels turned the program around through his disciplined leadership. 5 or 6 straight years of making the playoffs, competing for the SOC to come up short several times to Burg (2 or more games of 7 or less point margins).
So far the new coach has went 5-5 and 4-6. Direct connection to the above if you ask me. I have nothing personally against any coaches previous or current, but when you allow parents to dictate your coaching style, you have sold out and lose respect of the other players and coaches on the team.
JMO.
I don’t think it’s going to get better. I see another 4-6 season!
