wrcsage Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Sounded like the Wolfs and Falcons put on quite a show. I was planning on going, but got stuck in the horse and buggy caravan to the game on 63 and decided to head to Newport for the hill climb. Wolfs are still a juggernaut and will put up 50 the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrcsage Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I asked about a month ago if FC had ever gone 0’fer and got chastised for it. It is going to happen. Feel bad for them, but I do agree...what the heck happened there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrcsage Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 It’s called cycles of talent. Every small school goes through them. It is FC’s turn unfortunately. And I tried to bring that up earlier in the season! 0’fer, 0’fer, 0’fer, 0’fer, 0’fer, 0’fer, 0’fer, 0’fer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldbleacherfan Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 My little rant this morning. Why are so many people obsessed with Moore changing jobs and schools to coach. Isn’t the goal in life to put yourself in the best possible position for your family and yourself? I would assume most of us here have took promotions, better paying jobs, better benefits so we could be successful and support our family. If you haven’t I’m sorry. Look at all the coaches you know. How many have stayed at one school? If Sanders was moving on from RP to another school you would hear nothing about it. No disrespect to Sanders but the program isn’t successful. People don’t like when Moore moves because he is successful. Once again he has put himself in that position so schools, teams, parents and fans want him. Wonder how many here that bash him would change their way of thinking if he was coming to their school? Rant is over, let’s talk about 2019 football add something constructive to the forum. Let’s get some actually good football conversation going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRCWatcher Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Long time watcher, first time poster... I think the version of success people are looking for can be a little different. If it’s to win football games, then there is no doubt guys like Moore, King and Crabtree are highly successful. If it’s to build young men up and teach them the game of life while teaching them football, some other coaches would consider that success. But you’ll have a hard time convincing me a guy is there for the kids and not his own personal agenda if he bolts as soon as the talent drops off a little. Why not stay? It’s for the kids isn’t it? I think an often overlooked “successful” coach is Good from Attica. Even though he doesn’t have the hardware, he gets his teams to compete and win ball games. And I don’t think a guy like Sanders would ever move on from RP. From what I’ve seen and heard RP may be moving in the right direction. Who knows, if Sanders does move on, RP could be a landing spot for one of those “successful” coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE WENT FROM BEING AN ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TO A TEACHER SO HE COULD BE A HEAD COACH AGAIN. He left quite a bit of money on the table so he could, maybe, I don't know, pursue his passion of being a head coach? He wanted to lead young men and young adults, mentor others from a leadership position that at the time wasn't available at FC is my guess. And I'm sure if he would have known Jones was gonna leave FC, he would have staid put. In my eyes, in my opinion, all the man has done has proven his way of coaching can and will work anywhere he goes. Its like you going from one car dealership to another as a guy in charge of service and having the same results, good or bad, everywhere you go. You are doing what comes natural to you, and it works or it doesn't. I'm sure he has adapted some of his methods over time (good managers/coaches always do), but for the most part, I bet he's kept the same foundation of fundamentals.

Who knows, if Sanders does move on, RP could be a landing spot for one of those “successful” coaches. This will be my last comment on this thread so we can move on to next week. Welcome to the posting world. I would say that 90% of coaches at any school is there for the kids. I have had and seen coaches leave a program and still stay in contact with former players whether still playing or graduating. But just because a coach moves on doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about the players on his team. Are you saying of a teacher takes a new roll as an admin that they don’t care about their students? Of course you aren’t. But we need to look at it that way. If I was teaching 7th grade math and wanted to better myself and became a principal at the same or different school doesn’t mean I don’t care. It means I am taking care of my family. Thanks for your comments. Please continue to post on next weeks thread. This group can be fun with the right content! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s get some actually good football conversation going. Coach Moore is a good coach. As I’ve stated before, I think he’s overrated. To me it’s hard to evaluate because he’s always been in ideal situations. Fair question.....when is the last time he won a WRC game he wasn’t suppose to? Or a swing game that was 50/50? To me, that is the mark of a great coach. Not just because people say he is. If not, what is the point of coaching. You are winning and losing the games you are suppose to, which is boring and nothing special. In addition, it’s obviously important to have great assistant coaches, in order to become a great coach. Know people don’t want to discuss this, but it’s a fair question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrcsage Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) After reviewing the statistics from Friday’s game, do the Wolfs fair better against the Falcons had they played Linton instead of Eastern in week 5? It appears the Wolfs got smacked in the mouth Friday, something they may have already gotten and learned from by playing Linton? The Wolfs are still a juggernaut and not to be taken lightly come sectional time. Edited October 6, 2019 by wrcsage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for bringing this up. To not punt in that situation is unacceptable. No plausible explanation. In the second half, PH had slowed down NV’s run game some. You punt and make them drive the field. He’s a good coach, but that was a terrible decision. Not one of his better coaching moves. And don’t tell me if he would have got it, it would have been a good move. If is was a NV coach, I’m praying that he goes for it in that situation. NV had not established a pass game at all on Friday. Make them drive the length of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re trying to win the game, you try to convert the 4th down and then bleed the fairly new 40 second play clock. Coach Moore made the right call. He believed in himself and his guys. The dudes won 80% of his games because he’s dang good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were on the 25 or 30, I could understand, because you're essentially in no man's land. Also, given how the second half had played out, it seems that you would punt the ball. I would be shocked if the coach on the other sideline across from him would have made the same call, given the circumstances of the game at that time.

I have a ton of respect for Coach Moore, and I’ve reached out to him on advice several times. He’s been a great mentor to me since I’ve joined the WRC. Some of my best games have been battling him, because he’s so good at what he does. He’s a damn good football coach, and trying to beat him has been very good for me professionally.
