ASJCPUMA Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Had a hunch when talking to Ben in the fall if the thing opened up he would go for it. Glad he did Has a lot of work to do to bring the program back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny U Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I guess Ben has spent enough time with his family. Time to get back to Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Is it possible for both Marian and St Joe to simultaneously be state championship contenders? It seems that as one rises, the other falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASJCPUMA Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 For many years they were in the same class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian has 3 consecutive semi state appearances. SJ is 9-24 over the past 4 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASJCPUMA Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 St Joe has struggled somewhat with 4A and with the kids being developed and prepared. 3A is a lot easier than 4 A Let's wait and see if there is a change with the coaching change, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does St. Joe have people beating down the doors to volunteer to coach football? I think they would take all the help one was willing to offer as long as they were good for the student athletes.

Wedgebuster Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Agreed with Marshall County, sometimes we discuss HS football staff like its college football. 95% of HS are going to take whatever help they can get. Schools are handcuffed by what teaching jobs are open, and even if their is an open job.......how many coaches are uprooting their family to go from being and assistant at 1 HS to being an assistant at another? The scenario gets a little different around big metropolitan areas where assistants might flip flop to coach with a buddy 15 minutes away at another HS........but isn't that weird for that coach if they are a teacher. Teach kids all day that your going to coach against on Friday night......not a great scenario! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASJCPUMA Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Many assistants are not even in the building. Having the head coach in the building is very important. It will be interesting to see who joins the staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
