    DTs Dandy Dozen - 12 things Id like to see

    in The Indiana High School Football Forum

    Posted

    I think the HCC would make more sense for Columbus North.  They have had successful regular seasons the last 3 years (8-2, 9-2, 9-2) but have gotten beat by Center Grove each of the last three years.  Center Grove is definitely a top tier MIC school, but CN's history suggests that they would not be able to compete week in and week out in the MIC.

     

    That being said, if CN could get some of the CE kids, then I think you would have a great argument for CN to join the MIC

    4. Im glad to see that The SAC has dropped its full round robin and is opening up to non non competition.  Snider, Dwenger, Luers, Homestead are statewide brand names and will benefit from increased exposure.

    7. Id like to see Lake Central hire a serious, driven and accomplished head football coach who can get the program turned and heading back on an upwards trajectory.  Its just dismal right now in St John.  Just as they opened a beautiful new football facility 5 years ago, the program went into the tank.  Is it fixable?  Not so sure.  I think the student body has gone soft.  

    8. The Tom Allen vs Jeff Brohm 10 Year War may just be getting started.  Both schools are recruiting at a higher level, continue to invest in improved facilities, and have committed to long term extensions for their head coaches.  Brohm currently has the upper hand, but Id like to see Allen continue closing the gap.  

    9. Id like to see the MIC expand and add Columbus North and Avon.  The league is getting a little stale.  Love what is happening at North Central, but can they maintain a long term rate of success to compete with the traditional MIC powers?  

    10. Not convinced that Kyle Ralph will stay at New Pal for the long term.  Wouldn't you think he would get bored wining 66-6 every week?  Once you have destroyed all the local competition, its time to move on and conquer new lands.  I could see him possibly becoming a small college head coach.  Franklin?  Butler?  U of Indy?  Wabash?  etc etc

    11. More inexperienced hires.  More lay coaches.  More retirements.  The combination results in the continued deterioration of coaching at the highschool level in Indiana.  This is a real concern, and widens the competitive gap between the haves and the have nots.  Id like to see the The IHSAA get involved and develop programs that encourage young teachers to get back in the coaching game, and stay for the long term.  Incentives are needed.  Its all about the Benjamins.

     

    4.  I would love to see Snider/Dwenger vs a MIC team or Cathedral.  I think it would be great for the Ft. Wayne area and MIC schools.

    7.  I was speaking with a co-worker (Graduated from Portage) and he claimed that most of the great coaching talent is going to Chicago to teach and coach for the money.  Not sure if that's true, but I was hoping you could shed some light on that for me.

    8. Couldn't agree more!

    9. Waste of time to add Columbus North, but Avon and possibly Cathedral would be interesting. 

    10. Is small college his goal? Or will he try to go to a division one program as a coordinator? Or is he waiting for the right MIC job to open up--Center Grove is one that comes to mind

    11. Many young coaches are leaving the profession for money and an increase in parent involvement/complaints.  But some young coaches are waiting for the right opportunity to open up where they can win right away.  There is some good young coaching talent in Indiana, but those guys are just waiting for certain jobs to open up.

    Sagamore Conference 2019

    I think Danville will get back on track for the 2019 season.  A question mark for them will be the QB position and who replaces Slaton.  Tri-West will build off of last year and be improved with a lot of guys returning offensively.  Not sure how many players WEBO will lose, but they are always well coached and they will compete without a doubt.  Especially with Wright still at QB.

    Crawfordsville and Frankfort will struggle again this year, but hopefully their play will improve and they will get more kids involved in the programs.

    How will Lebanon be next year?
