    Anyone know of a school that is absolutely opposed to field turf?  I've been told that Bremen has no interest.  Football patriarch Don Bunge laid the seeds on the field and it will always be grass.

    Well it appears that the entire South Dearborn community is against turf, or spending money on improvements in general. Which is a shame because the administration sees the need, but is handcuffed... and shackled at the feet too.

    I can't speak to that, I have no idea, nor have I talked to anyone in the know. Purely my opinion I would think it's a pretty good fit for them, a handful of competitive games, decent gates, some gimme's to get healed, and the flexibility to go play 3 non-conference games where ever they like. EC has never shied away from OH and KY schools. 

    Certainly just an opinion on my end as well, I personally just like a little change in the schedule from time to time. I wish it changed every couple years, just like the sectional alignment.

    Also, if a certain style of football turns away potential players, do they really love playing the game?  Are those the type of players a coach would want?

    Yes, If a kid has the dream and talent to be a big time QUARTERBACK, then it probably isn't in his best interest to play in an offense that is Wing-T or Triple option. Exact same reason a talented passing quarterback wouldn't have gone to georgia tech when coach Johnson was there. No chance of throwing the football!

    #7 Don't jump at the first job

    I agree with this, but only to a point.  The jobs that are open usually aren't premium situations.  If they are a great set up, their is likely a long term assistant that helped build that program waiting in line for the job.  A young coach is almost going to have to go make a poor situation better, or wait their turn in line at great program. 


    Which leads me to my next point.  The public often heaps praise on the Coach when things go well, and kills the Coach when things go poorly.   Is it the COACH that makes the JOB or the other way around? 

     

    I know that as a young offensive coordinator (going into 3rd year), I see a "rebuilding" situation as the only real path to follow as someone trying to get into their first head coaching position. I look at a place like Connersville, and think, If someone young (not unlike myself) could help get that program to a 4 or 5 win season, from 0-10, then I think that would be a great start and an opportunity to grow as a head coach. Whenever the time came, the profile of helping improve a struggling program, would help when going to find that next BIG job.

  5. I have a few questions for anyone who would be willing to answer them. Answers to these questions can come via email, or if there is something someone wants to post that would generate discussion that would be cool too. 

    1. What are some of the ways other Offensive play callers get their plays in to the QB? Signals, Signs/Boards, Sending in a new player, Old fashioned Bring the QB to you?

    2. Is it more advantageous for an offensive play caller to be in the press box or on the field? Does this decision change based on how you relay the plays in (referring to the question above)? 

    3. How do other teams "change" or vary their offense year by year, depending on their personnel? Do you try to mold your kids to your style, or mold the style to the kids?

    I will greatly appreciate any positive feedback that I may receive!

  6. As a graduate of Yorktown, you can never sleep on them in the sectional. A NORMALLY tough conference schedule helps prepare the Tigers. Coach Wilhelm is pretty good at getting them Playoff ready. They also have an extremely talented group of skilled players this year.

     

    No doubt this is likely the toughest sectional in the state top to bottom.

    Congratulations, the second biggest school in the EIAC might finally be the second best school in the EIAC.

    Third biggest, by a fairly large margin. I would however disagree, calling EC a powerhouse in SE Indiana might be a fair statement, strong teams over several decades. New Palestine is a STATE powerhouse, even if it has been a shorter period of time.

    40% of the state has turf. I have accounted for all but 6 schools in the state of Indiana (Attucks, Fremont, Prairie Heights, Eastside, Tindley, and Shortridge). 11 schools don't have their own field, so they were thrown out of the equation all together. (Ev Memorial, Cathedral, Ev Mater Dei, Covenant Christian, SB Wash, FW Snider, Chatard, Ritter, Luers, Boone Grove, Scecina)

    97% of 6A turf

    72% of 5A turf

    58% of 4A turf

    28% of 3A turf

    21% of 2A turf

    8% of 1A turf

    122/302 schools overall.

    Thanks a ton to everyone, this has been very helpful
