Being critical of your school?

I know a lot of whiting supporters who aren’t happy with the current state of the program. I guess we were spoiled by Coach Cain.

89, I understand the frustration with the result last week but Griffith is a bigger school that has played all year. 

Whiting is certainly shorthanded....some may not have come out this year...and in their first game, the Oilers didnt look good against  a 4A school.

I actually liked some of the offensive plays they executed without having a scrimmage. 

I promise you that Whiting will look better the next two weeks against Boone Grove and Bishop Noll.

 

Lets be real. As long as Andrean is 2A, public school Northwest Indiana 2As like Whiting will have a short post-season.  But Andrean wont always be 2A

You speak of coach Cain. Down in Lowell, as I know you know. Many were unhappy with Keith Kilmer the first few years after he replaced Kirk Kennedy  Lowell was 22-18 Kilmer's first four years.

Now, Kilmer is 89-38 with 5 sectional trophies.

With the closing of nearby Clark, the future is promising for Whiting, right?.  Give coach Jennings a chance.

I wouldn’t worry too much about him. 

Dude can’t even grok Muda’s frog avatar even after his own self-contradictory link regarding it.

Those “Woke” would do well to actually wake up.

But then, I am hoping too much.

Worry about yourself

Also something to think about, if you don't like the state of your program or how it's being ran, get involved and volunteer your time to be a part of the solution as opposed to part of the problem.  I don't know anything about this program but I guarantee these coaches spend a lot of time and effort away from their own families to try and instill, not only football lessons but , more importantly, life lessons into these young men.  Everyone who is not in the locker room and on the practice field wants to be critical of what's going on and they don't take the time to do anything about it, they just sit behind a computer screen and complain about how other people are doing things.  I'v been coaching a long time and have been a part of some pretty successful teams and I have also been a part of some not-so-successful teams, if you are only looking at the almighty win.  But, I will guarantee you one thing, these young men were better people because of it, and that I can live with.  So, you must first determine what success means, I truly believe learning respect, accountability, teamwork, discipline, and selflessness is far more important than any win you can put on a scoreboard.  Don't be an armchair quarterback, be a part of the solution or continue to be part of the problem, the choice is yours.

Due to career choices and proximity to school this isn’t feasible for a lot of people.  I agree with your sentiment though.

I feel like not many people are big on that. They are quick to point out the problem, but would rather point it out and complain rather than help be part of the solution. I coached at a school this season that was like that. It's hard because they don't get that we on staff are putting in the time and effort.
