I'm not sure if they do or don't. All I know is that this forum gets a hell of a lot more views than what's coming from just the members. I think the GID offers a lot of good information and insight on important topics. Enough so that I think you'd be surprised at who really views many of these threads. I'm willing to bet that 90% of all head coaches check in, at least on occasion, to see what's being discussed. If that's the case wouldn't some administrators be curious once in awhile as well? Maybe I'm giving the GID too much credit, but I doubt it.
Perhaps....I have pretty certain in the case of CG, administration didn't seek individual's opinions on turf fields on GID before deciding on turf for football, soccer, baseball, etc. They certainly would have done their research, but just don't think they consider opinions of fans on GID. But, perhaps they are in the minority......
Now, do coaches visit GID and share opinions of various members? I can get my arms around that.....

I think administrators can be swayed, but I agree, not on this topic. There are way too many benefits to all involved.
Do you think Administrators seek out GID as a viable source to help them with decision-making? That was my point.
If they do, well, I just learned something.

Nah, however…
McCarthy or pink iPhone, painted nails, diva?One is a safer/better long term pick than the other.
I am not anti-McCarthy...just discussing if the Rose Bowl (single game) was enough to vault him higher up the draft.
I am with you on Williams...that is why my earlier comments about him to another member questioned his leadership abilities. When SC lost to Washington and he went over and cried to his parents in the stands, that did not capture the essence of leadership...as least for me.

I don't know yet. Rome wasn't built in a day. I can only continue to espouse my opinions regarding the matter. If you personally no longer like to read it then you have two choices Bash Riprock; you can put me on ignore or you can contact a GID admin concerning the matter.
Eventually, yes.
Muda...you went dark on me. I not a reporting kind of guy and why put you on ignore? You put out some good stuff.
I just find it surprising that you feel a need to sway others to your views. Be confident my man in your own views, and resist feeling the need for validation through conversion of others. As I said, even if you convert a person or 2, nothing will come from it on this site. Not the tree to bark up....
Got to be honest...i did get a slight chuckle that you thinking if you complain long enough, you will change the minds of various high school administrators around the state from investing in turf fields....do you truly believe they would see you both as a desired and credible source in their decision-making process?

So you are saying the GID never has new members?
is it working for you? Do you have any converts? Even if you have had success converting people to your beliefs, what good is it doing on this forum? Bottom line, do you see high schools reducing their investments with turf because of your efforts?

Just watch the last 4 minutes of regulation.
ok...made some good plays to help tie the game....big enough sample for you to project a future NFL 1st round pick that will have have a stellar NFL career?
One TD in the entire second half and I believe the TD drive was the only sustained drive of that half.

The world? No. The GID? Yes.
But you have done this...over and over and over and over and over..............infinity symbol.
We get your position. Most do not agree and you are not going to change anyone's mind. And even if you did gain a convert, what does it mean? Nothing will change as a result of this behavior on this particular forum.
Its kind of like a dog chasing parked cars....

Just because Michigan didn’t need McCarthy to win games for them frequently doesn’t mean that he couldn’t have more often.
Throw in the fourth quarter of the Rose Bowl when you get a free moment.
I was intrigued with your comment, because I only remembered one serious drive by UM in the second half. McCarthy did throw a 4 yd TD which was big as it tied up the game. I pulled up the drives in the second half drives for both teams. What stands out in your mind for McCarthy that would cause one to think, "wow, what a big time NFL QB?"
Notice most of their possessions in the 2nd half were limited drives.....

Complimenting a Michigan player?
Whoa.
I guess it’s easy to lead/win games when you have the other teams’ signs.
Never said he wasn't a good leader.
Yeah...his coaches cheated...that's on them, not him.
Way not to disappoint with the expected jacka$$ery comments.....

Is a Major Sports Gambling Scandal Inevitable?
Yes.
Oddly enough I just shared this with some friends yesterday.
https://www.facebook.com/reel/337071562713780?fs=e&s=cl&mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6vI am betting "yes" on this one......

Thank you. Waste in government education is an important issue.
First turf fields are unsafe and now they are a waste of taxpayer funds....
I am beginning to think you have personal investments tied up in the sod, grass seed, fertilizer and weed killer businesses.....😉

As I’m sure the Competition Committee did.
Let's hope....evidently not Dungy or the NFLPA.....

https://nypost.com/2024/03/21/sports/nfl-players-at-odds-over-controversial-hip-drop-tackle/
I think Dungy is right....a player now has 3 choices if he is behind the ball carrier......1) dive at him, which puts legs as a target and/or puts head back in play 2) grab hold and hold on for dear life 3) let him go

So federal tax dollars are being used to build high school turf fields? That is news to me.
Never said that at all....just stating that I'm far more concerned about the size of my federal taxes than I am of my local tax. Far more....

It’s like anything else. Players will adjust. Nobody has a problem anymore with horse collar tackles. Same thing here. Move along. Nothing to see.
Nothing personal Bob...but Dungy's resume gets my attention and his comment about physics. Sometimes, as you well know, there are unanticipated impacts with rule changes. I am not against the rule change...but sometimes it pays to listen to someone that knows his business.

Then you are welcome to pay my taxes for me. How many more tax burdens are you willing to take on?
oh yeah...when I am filing my taxes each year, I fixate on that local tax....that one's the killer!!!!
Seriously, my beef with taxes is the feds....I appreciate not paying additional taxes across the board and not a fan of rising property tax...but the vast majority of my tax dollars isn't consumed at the local level.

The NFL Competition Committee has voted to ban the “hip drop” tackle. Can’t wait to hear all the meatheads. “Just make it flag football!”
or...perhaps other reasons to have concern. I don't consider Dungy a "meathead"....darn good resume for NFL defense.

Who knows as one angy Chicago radio caller just said, Caleb could be the Black Baker Mayfield. My fear on this miss doesn't come from Daniels or Maye. Between those 2, I would take Maye. Here's me being picky: I don't like how smiley Daniel's is when losing. And I think he's benefitted greatly from Brian Kelley's offense and the WR's he has. Maybe I'm wrong and he's like Burrow was and is playing at an NFL level himself with NFL WR's.
My fear is McCarthy becomes the best QB in this draft. He just strikes me as a Tom Brady guy that can lead a team of men, get excellence from his teammates and never be afraid of a challenge. I rewatched that Rose Bowl game during some down time over the weekend. That kid is loved by his teammates.
Its a real tough call with these QB's. I agree that McCarthy seems like the best overall leader. Guess we shall see about his passing skills. I like Daniels and Williams athleticism...don't know enough about accuracy...it would seem Williams is pretty accurate, and can make all the throws. I really don't know much about Maye...seems like a solid leader and has the passing skills...but just not sure. I really like Penix for release, accuracy, leadership, etc. His hand size is incredible....but his injury history has to be a red flag.
Definitely strong arm needed in the Lake Michigan cold wind.....

I have faith in Poles and Warren. For any knock we can find in Williams we can also find issues with Daniels, Penix, Maye, etc. None of these guys are perfect. I can remember a time when people thought the Colts should take Leaf because Peyton could never beat Florida and lead Tennessee to a National Title.
fair statement.....

Before Warren, the President of the Bears was Ted Phillips. From a football standpoint, you and I had the same qualifications for the job as he did. 24 years and 6 playoff berths later the Bears realized that promoting the CFO who had no football knowledge and was a career Accountant to President of football operatiosn wasn't the wisest of decisions.
I am an older guy....I am thinking well before 1999 when he took over the helm. Unless one believes Bob Avellini was an all pro.... 😉 Jim McMahon was the last Bears QB I've been excited about, and I wouldn't have called him great.
Awesome you have your faith in Caleb Williams. The way I saw him perform in big games this season, including crying to his parents in a big game that went bad for him, doesn't have me full of confidence. But, I have been wrong plenty of times...may be pleasantly surprised.

The combo of Ryan Poles as GM and Kevin Warren as President of the Bears have drafted the same amount of QB's for the Bears as you and I have: ZERO.
Poles was promoted within the Kansas City Chief's organization everytime a new GM was brought in. Warren built the Vikings new stadium before running the Big Ten. I have faith in both of them that they are nothing like the old regime (aka. CPA Ted Phillips and whichever McCaskey son you want to name)
Love your faith....I just tend to look at historical trends.....its been a while since the organization has knocked it out of the park with a QB.
Hey, I am a big Cubs fan....perhaps this is the year.

Exactly. There’s the problem. Schools vote their individual interests. No one is interested in what’s best for Indiana high school football.

The Chicago radio station I listed to while working was joking yesterday about the amount of rumors surrounding him that continue to be untrue. Bad teammate, terrible attitute, helicopter dad that's too involved, etc. Here's a new one. He measured at barely under 6'1 at his Pro Day.
The Bears started vetting Williams as far back as when they were interviewing for the OC position. My guess is they know who they want and won't be wasting the time of guys they won't be drafting,
....and the Bears have such a strong record of vetting and drafting QB's?

Interesting signing.
Great insurance and guessing will be an excellent mentor to AR

Coach...no hatred for anyone, let alone a player that cries to his parents in the stands when they lose. Just not sure its the best way to show leadership and grab control of a locker room.....in the case of the NFL.....a locker room full of men.
Perhaps that's where the painted nails come in.......😉
