To put it simply, I have a love of the game. But like so many elements in today’s society, this forum (or at least this topic) has become too political.   It’s not up to us to decide who gets to play and with whom.

Then your statement about W-L being insignificant is patently invalid.  Are you saying that coaches don't promote/demote players regarding starters or positions after a loss or due to a win?

No, it’s not.  Using W-L solely for contraction is insignificant.  That's all I meant...

So no coach has ever been fired at the high school level due to their W-L record?

 

Not my point.  

Why penalize a program for a losing streak?  Look at Northwestern University.  For a few years, the Wildcats didn’t win a single game.  But with a change in coaching, they made it to Rose Bowl and are still regarded as pretty good. 

The way I see it, no one is forcing these kids to play, they do so on their own volition.  Unfortunately, they don’t always get the desired result.  That can and will change over time...

Yes the Flying part of Flying Jets seemed a bit redundant. I'd have personally went with Fighting or Fighter Jets. The Starfire is a car from Oldsmobile, though I'm not sure that was the intended naming.  

I'm hoping it will be closer than what I expect it will be. If South Adams gets any chance to put big numbers on the board, they will do so after the last 3 years or so.

I believe they both my hall of fame—kudos.

Oh, I got one

West Lafayette vs a Hurricane

What if the hurricane name was DITKA?

 

Can we insert Ricky Williams into this equation somewhere? 

Ask CC, Penn, even the Runnin’ Rebels of South Newton... 

Success, over the long term, is very difficult to maintain: remember that...

Shouldn’t NP go independent?

Just like Penn, Carmel, Cathedral, and every other school with a great program?

No kidding!!!  Bad records happen, I get it.  But the right athletes and/or coaching staff can change that in no time.  W-L is insignificant...

No doubt, as a Steeler fan the Walter Andrew Brister III era was rough

I had to endure Chester Marcol.

Win hard, play hard...

I thought you were going to report that Antonio Brown did a full 360 degrees and signed with the Steelers again after being released by the Pats tonight.

That would be epic, but even I’m not that creative although Bubby Brister may be seen again...

Hard to believe almost.  Play like a champion, everyone!!! 

Looks like this thread is all about opinion, and, of course I have mine:

I have ave a proclivity to think outside the box, so my criteria obviously differs.  Coaching is more about winning and losing as it also must incorporate elements of planning, not just for the game, but life in general...
