Is his brother the Branson coach?Todd Hafner. You can go home again
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.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?
yeah his last year CJ had a QB Danny Powers, kid was a stud.High school sports is 90% a function of who is on the roster. Hopefully he can get kids out to play.
Yep they went 23-6 that year, he went 11-1 on the mound including a win in the Semifinals.Powers was on the CJ baseball team in I think 2000 that lost the state title game to Helias.
Ummmm, he coached “college” football. He obviously knows what he’s doing. Derp.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.
So did the last 4 coaches at missouri southern and you can see how they did. Coaching college football doesnt mean anything if the kids arent there.Ummmm, he coached “college” football. He obviously knows what he’s doing. Derp.
I literally sat by parents during games who would scream at Buck during games to stop yelling at their kids so much.
Sounds like Kids and Parents in Carl Junction are charmin soft then. Maybe a run heavy triple option offense wont fit in the best in Carl Junction.Maybe but if that hurts a coaches standing it will hurt participation.
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.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.
The youth programs numbers have been on the rise. They had like 55 3rd graders this year.I've got a couple friends over there and their kids stopped playing football in grade school.

Kinda missed the sarcasmSo did the last 4 coaches at missouri southern and you can see how they did. Coaching college football doesnt mean anything if the kids arent there.
Really?Todd was a finalist for MSSU before they picked/hired Coach Bradley.
There's a blast from the past..!That’s Johnny Majors.
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.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.
100%. Not unique to CJ.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.I've got a couple friends over there and their kids stopped playing football in grade school.

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.
