Fun offseason topic What if the IHSAA playoffs were a NCAA Bowl Subdivision type playoff system? Who would your four teams have been for the playoff either outright (no class system), from your favorite class, or all classes from this last season and what other teams would be in your big bowl games.

It behooves a coach to come in and see the personnel he has and fit an offense and defense to that OR...like Eric Moore...you make your program fit you and install it all the way down to pee wee. Either approach works. Dick Dullaghan ran the "I", but he ran the spread with James Banks. A good coach can/has to adapt.

By a mile, and I would think that someone in that district should make a phone call.

#8 is the one I would watch.

The most DT thing ever to put himself on the GID Mt. Rushmore.🤣

Congratulations on a great career!

Ok...have fun. What are your "Mount Rushmores" of Indiana High School football. This could be anything from stadiums to broadcasters to GID posters to concessions to coaches to programs to tailgating to whatever. Have fun. Thanks to the "Top 25" thread for inspiration.

An interesting question would be a "Mount Rushmore" of Indiana High School Football Programs. That could get dicey!

Thank YOU and sorry it took me so long this year.

Add Corey Harris, Morten Andersen, DaMarcus Ganaway (believe was on the Jets practice squad), Mark Shupe Morten, Corey, and Tandon all were on Super Bowl rosters.

This has no bearing on any discussion with DT. He's the spaghetti man of the GID...throw something against the wall and see if it sticks.

What about K.C. Woods from Danville?

1) HCC job 2) State Championship (2010) 3) Growing Population

Kizer was a worthy pick last year though the right pick would have been Bell, imo. There's no race like that this year. It's Spegal.

Coach Shanley would be a perfect fit at Fishers if he wants it. It is a great job opening, and that area continues to explode in growth. I wonder if they will split into a third high school at some point?

It was tongue in cheek and not meant seriously at all. I have nothing but respect for Snider. Seth Ziegel man...Seth Ziegel.

I grew up in Farley.

But here's the other side of that. Prior to 1980, Ben Davis' record was 140-240 with 10 total winning seasons. Since, the Giants are 359-127. Someone changed that culture permanently. And I should give Bob Wilbur his props too. From 1973-1983, he went 59-53 and led the Giants to the 1977 Final Four (he beat Dullaghan in the Sectional).

I've not talked in depth about it with Coach Simmons.

Built that Fishers program from scratch.

I won't lie. Several, but could Perry be a competitive team in the Mid-State? Could Tech win the NCC? Sure. If we're setting the level at elite status...well...you're right.

Well, Kevin Wright took a serious look at Tech supposedly once upon a time. I believe that's when Dr. White was going to make Tech the only football program in IPS if I remember correctly. I think Coach Moore would win any where he goes. It might take him a while. The kids would gravitate to him. Perry hasn't always been a doormat. While that program has struggled in recent history, Craig Barr had some good years, and the program had some very solid seasons in the 1970's and 80's under Steve Purichia and others. We're kind of seeing what happens when a great coach goes in there on the basketball side. Mark James took BD's boys basketball program and turned them from bad to mediocre into state champs in six years. Perry is moving in a positive direction right now with him down there. To answer your question, I think they would struggle early, but I think they also know how to build programs...especially in Moore's case.

Hire makes perfect sense. Hopefully he can have the kind of success that his father had there with the Wildkats!

He has no reason to leave unless it's for a college opportunity. The grass isn't always greener on that side of the fence, though.
