Zac Wells was a legend as a FB player at Merrillville and led the PIrates to multiple Sectional and Regional Titles as Head Coach. He gave that up to join Buzea at H-F as his DC. How exactly is it a knock on CP that they have a Merrillville legend coaching their defense? 

 

Exactly.

All good points but as Barry Switzer said,

" It's not about the X's and O's but the Jimmy and Joe's".  

This will be CP's biggest issue. Will always have size but not the skill players.

Not at the high school level.  If you’ve got beef and a dominant line, that’s all you need.

I believe Grainger is the DC at CP. Not sure though.

Me neither. I just assumed since he's on CP's staff he was still a DC. If so, sounds like a smart guy. Finds a way to take on less responsibility every time he's lured to a new role.

Merrillville definitely had the Jimmy's and Joe's against Chatard. Just saying...

I didn’t say it was a knock? And btw he didn’t give it up. He got let go.. if you know the whole story you would know why he “resigned” it was either resign or get fired. Let’s just say our school paid a hefty price to a family that had multiple kids come through and a few ended up in the NFL… (mike neal sr.. 85 bears???, mike neal JR Green Bay packers, Ryan neal Atlanta falcons, Philly eagles, Seattle Seahawks) yeah the issue has to do with the last one listed there. But he was forced out so that the family wouldn’t sue the school and him. That’s why the neal family spends there money running camps at westside and helping bring Gary football back along with Lonnie Johnson JR. Not gonna out out what happened but yeah he was forced out of the school

This is highly debatable. Maybe at the smaller levels but 5A/6A is another story. See: Noblesville.
