Stinky, Stink, Stink 1.2.3.

this move by coach does not surprise anybody!

Brought this up a couple of weeks ago...not much interest then.

Leaving a ( will not say rebuild As the job was never  BUILD ) building job to a MAJOR BUILD.

Oak Hills area athletes go to Elder ( a catholic school ) ( a subject i was talking about last week which Bobref got board with)

? Is will JR bring his type of football to the west side or will he try to match up his few athletes to the athletes of many to big time Cincinnati high school football.

Spread for the wealthy....power/option for ever one else.

Just wandering....

Mike Gillin could win an HCC title at Noblesville within 3 years of taking the job.   Would be a nice way to cap off a stellar career.   

Agree he'd be a great hire. It would be interesting to see what he could do with the Millers program. He's won everywhere he's been.

Considering he lives in Mooresville and is retired, I don't think he's going anywhere until he decides to hang it up for good.

Plus, Noblesville is going to have a really hard time competing against Avon and Brownsburg's athletes, let alone Zionsville, Fishers, HSE and Westfield.  All of of whom have better football traditions and cultures then Noblesville.

In other words, this is a really, really tough job and going to be hard for anyone to get it to midpack in the HCC, let alone the top.  Roden had the right idea of putting a hard-nosed offense and defensive philosophy in place.  In a conference full of spread teams, that should be the niche they go with to try to compete.  But now, they'll probably wander back into the shotgun/spread world again to look like everyone else and others will play that game better with better athletes then they do.  Year in and year out.

Mike Leonard....Franklin College.

Would only have to coach...

Kids would love him...

Better pay?  For ONLY coaching?

I see Noblesville as more of a stepping stone job. Go to Noblesville, coach for a couple years, and then move up to something with better athletes.

 

Would love to see someone install the Center Grove offense at Noblesville.

It is kinda funny to see that the last two coaches at Noblesville have gone on to better jobs: Simmons to BD and Roden to Oak Hills (OH). 

If a coach goes 4-6 or 5-5 there consistently, they might build him a statue. But a school with over 3,000 students and high-level success in all sports, but football, SHOULD attract some big-names to coach there. 

CG assistants have tried to implement the CG way at different places throughout the years and there has been little to no success trying that (Harbin at Franklin, Mallory at LN) but I think it would be very interesting if that type of offense does go to the HCC.

The Center Grove offense is taught to 5 year olds, who learn the system and are drilled on its execution for 10 years before they even suit up to play at the high school level.

That takes resources and a huge amount of discipline and program planning and development

Noblesville and 98% of the other high schools in Indiana cant match Center Groves commitment , which is why so many are unsuccessful.

Noblesville can do in The HCC what Mooresville and Franklin have done in the Mid States.  Introduce a high powered passing offense in a run oriented conference, with defenses that are not used to seeing aerial sophistication at this level.  They already have the athletes.  They just need the high level coaching expertise to teach, implement and fine tune the new offensive scheme.  It can work.

Disagree

Noblesville is not a place with a lot of hard nosed kids.  Roden and his philosophy were a bad fit for the Millers.  Hopefully they have learned their lesson and will be more strategic about their next choice.

You know these kids personally from up there in the North?

Noblesville has resources and the kids are disciplined.  Seems like the perfect spot for someone to implement the "CG Way"

Bigger enrollment than Franklin(double) and LN(500 more), and Noblesville doesn't have to share athletes like LN

Why would you want to promote specialization?

Noblesville loses athletes to Guerin.  But there are plenty in that school that can be harvested.  Just like when Kevin Wright went to Warren, he dove head first into the student body and got guys to hit the weights and awoke a sleeping giant.  I'm not saying Noblesville could ever be a Warren Central, but there are potentials roaming those halls.
