Carl Junction hires

He resigned from William Penn on November 14th. Who knows if this was always his plan.
 
Head Coach for Carl Junction during their 2001 run to the Class 3 semifinals as I recall. Lost to Platte County and the Sherman tank that day.
 
I was at that game. Probably the first time any of those CJ kids had ever seen a pro style offense.
 
The ozone said he was head from 97-00 so that means he wouldn’t have been the head in 01 but I wouldn’t be surprised if the ozone was wrong.
What’s the truth AC?

Hafner was at Carl junction from 97-00 he only had one winning season his last one, CJ went 8-2 that year but did not make the playoffs because they lost to Seneca 14-7 and Seneca would finish 7-3 6-1 conference and 3-0 district and make the playoffs. He was 1-9 his first year and 2-8 his second 3-7 his third, so 6-24 his first three years.
 
High school sports is 90% a function of who is on the roster. Hopefully he can get kids out to play.
 
Powers was on the CJ baseball team in I think 2000 that lost the state title game to Helias.

How do you hire a “returning” coach with a losing record? Especially one that couldn’t win in the Big 8. The COC will crush him.

It looks like the record improved every year and the year after he left they made the semis. He may have just have had a bad roster at the beginning.

Ummmm, he coached “college” football. He obviously knows what he’s doing. Derp.
 
That is what he has to do. Get the kids our to play. Right now there are enough kids at that school who should play but don't that it mat be enough to cost CJ a district title in the next year or 2

Work with several that went to cj and most will tell you they didnt play bc they couldnt stand buckmaster. I look for carl to become relevant again.
 
I literally sat by parents during games who would scream at Buck during games to stop yelling at their kids so much.

Maybe but if that hurts a coaches standing it will hurt participation.
 
With the QB CJ has right now a running game would work much better than what Buck was doing.

I've got a couple friends over there and their kids stopped playing football in grade school. I don't know the reasons but they did complain an awful lot about personalities, politics, and disorganization with the youth program. This was several years ago so maybe those issues have been worked out I don't know. None of them ever complained about Buck though. They never knew him because their kids were already checked out of football.

I agree with everyone else there is no reason CJ shouldn't compete like anyone else in the coc if they can get all the right kids out on the field. Sure it's the smallest school but it's not really a small school. As I've said before there is often a corelation between income and successful sports and activities and CJ I believe has the highest average household income of any school district in this area.
 
I think being in the same district as Webb during the good years still hurts the program. The perception even in town is that they never win even though there were years that CJ was the 2nd or 3rd best team in class

The youth programs numbers have been on the rise. They had like 55 3rd graders this year.
 
I hope he does well cause I doubt William Penn will take him back. The ran flexbone at WP.
 
We’ll see how bad they thought they had it now that Buck is gone. It doesn’t matter who the coach is, you won’t get “those kids” out to play because they’re soft as puppy piss and their parents probably think they are perfect little victims.

The kids from the good years allowed themselves to be coached hard because Buck brought in a swagger and a background that commanded a level of respect.

Kids are getting soft everywhere. Seeing it at Webb also. There is just too many other things they would rather be doing in todays world.

Sometimes having high average incomes makes being successful even harder... Because those families and kids are not use to having to work to achieve, its been given to them thier whole life or they believe it is a right and not something they have to work for. That's why you see and hear a lot of towns and programs lean into thier blue collar roots because they have to work hard to achieve.
