I could also see Columbus East getting into this new conference. Saturday games, great idea, unless PU or Indiana has home games. How do we circumvent the potential conflict?

 Being named a coach doesn't mean you are a coach. This big snafu is going to effect the whole system at eastern, pee wee on up. The school needs to step up quickly and get someone in there before the program falls completely apart. The kids are falling off like flies, and will continue if the school doesn't act soon. Maybe that is what the school board wants? Shame.

We know where our universities and colleges stand on all matters, for the last 20 years or longer, It has been based on entitlement.  Feeding fear to the willing venerable student population.  

And the coaching shuffle continues for this program. Way too much change from season to season to effectively establish a solid foundation of success that the other Big Ten programs have. You can’t blame any one person ,coaches or otherwise,  but it has decimated the program for decades. I can hear it now the drums starting to beat, regardless what Fred Glass says.

The fact that Luck is such a smart guy and has a limitless future makes it an even worse look for the fair weather , botox loaded, bleached hair and tattooed redneck suburbanites who populate the Oil Can on Sundays.  

Not a fan of that crowd in any way, shape or form. 

The national media is sticking it to Indianoplace, and rightly so.

 

I can agree with this. The whole bad situation goes right back to the Colts Mickey Mouse organization. Owner and general manager are the blame for this publicity fiasco. It couldn’t have been handled any worse. 

You remember Tom has turned the offense over to the new highly compensated coordinator. I’m pretty sure he didn’t want to step on the new coaches toes. In a new offense set up. 

Kill the messenger? I guess. That way nobody can read this nonsense!

After getting Coach's approval... Roy Bruce will be Eastern Greene's new football coach.   Roy and family are ready to begin their life as Thunderbirds.  Congrats to Coach Bruce as he begins his tenure!

Coach Bruce comes from Bedford North Lawrence where he has been Varsity Wrestling Coach.  Additionally Coach Bruce has worked with both the high school and middle school football programs over the years.   As i stated previously this is a good hire for Eastern.  Coach Bruce will bring the energy and the kids will play hard for him.

 

Again Best Of Luck Coach!

From my understanding, not much of a football resume , for this coach. But a good coach can coach anything, as the saying goes.

Moriority was at Salem, not Paoli. Balsmeyer was before Lowery.

Ok my mistake, for some reason thought Paoli.

This will be quick turn around for this program. I think it is a sleeping giant.

They have had afew good coaches in that position the last 10 years of so. Moriority and Lowery. This might be a good coaching situation for a young coach.

I can see where this would lead to non participation by several posters, but if it meant closing the site or $20.00, I would pony up.

Thank god, an in house hire would have been a disaster. The board realized that keeping "in-house" in charge would essentially keep the program in the downward spiral. This community should have a contender every year in all sports. Their coaching choices over the past 10-15 years has been horrendous for a school of that size. way to go Jasper!
