It will be. Coaches always get the blame. A lot of the time? It has nothing to do with the coach.
If it was his last game , that will because he choose for it to be. He is no danger of getting fired.
Agreed. It would be his choice if it was his last game at CJ. No way he is on the block
There will be less talent next year than there was this year and even less the year after that.
It looks bleek for CJ but that's no fault of buckmaster . That being said , I wouldn't really blame him if he went fishing to improve his situation.

They are in this position because of Buckmaster not playing under classmen and running up the score with starters to make him look good
Was there times he could have taken out starters a bit sooner ? Maybe ....I guess ? But having an empty cupboard has nothing to do with that. If you are hell-bent on blaming him ...blame him for the lack of participation 7-12th grade . They have very poor #'s for a team with the amount of success CJ has had . Is that his fault ? I have no clue ? Itmay be ...it may just be a culture of the town thing . I honestly couldn't tell ya..again ...sometimes you have the horses and sometimes you don't . He needs better participation for sure but who knows to blame for that? I guess he is an easy target but it goes deeper that buck I assume
I don't think he is some kind of Messiah or offensive God he has got a reputation to be BUT he's a solid coach in a tough spot . When you only have 15 kids per grade playing football ....no matter who is coaching ...you are going to have some lumps . Figure out who to blame that on but I can guarantee it's not one single person at fault ....it's a collective fail
I also think with Ray ...they go 7-4 or 8-3 . They would still be done right now but he would have really helped them
Agree...and we should've redshirted Wall. That kid would've been a stud as a fifth year senior.
Well technically with Ray they would have beat Ozark, been the 3 seed and avoided Webb until this Friday but the outcome would have been the same.
It is not Buck's fault. My daughter did youth cheer 4 or 5 years ago and every grade lost every week. Those grades lost in junior high and are now coming into high school. Every school has a down cycle. The question is why or how Webb never does.
Problem is ..when you have about 20 freshman playing ....by the time they are seniors ....there will be like 9.
Webb has 55 freshman this year .....there will only be 30ish when they are seniors ....it seems normal to lose about half of them between 9-12 for various reasons ....but when you only start with 15-20...it's bad news .

Buck has had some really good teams.
I would think in a different district, they would had a few deep playoff runs.

That is true but if the younger high school classes had 50 kids out they would still not be very good. They just don't have any athletes in those classes.
Sounds like #84 for CJ didn't get enough reps to appease their parents.
They mentioned on the CJ broadcast that some of the seniors had already moved on.
He made them both relevant again. Joplin's offense became explosive for this area. The CJ program was completely turned around during his current tenure.
I don't see him wanting to leave the immediate area...
Sounds like what's lacking in CJ starts well before high school.

No. I've been told why but it was second hand so I won't pass it along . May not be totally true
CJ was a 500 or less team in the big 8 before Buckmaster showed up. This thread is silly.
Being a senior should have absolutely no relevance to playing time if you are going to judge a coach on wins and losses.
I believe they are saying to give them time in the lop sided wins or losses. Seems reasonable.
Any chance these guys got JV minutes?
I don't know. Maybe everyone did the right thing here.
If you're a senior? And not getting any kind of playing time?
I'm sure it feels like a waste of time.
Also not sure there is an obligation to play them.
Maybe if I'm a junior this year and not playing much?
Maybe I either bust my hump to improve in the off-season? Or, I go do something else next football season.
No one should probably be 'promising playing time' unless it comes with some requirements to be met. Maybe it did.

No disagreements with you.......but in blowouts might be able to sneak them in. I completely agree that you play the best to win but when game is out of hand you build the program and give kids playing time.
I am 110% in agreement with all your points ... my only hesitation is that these kids will be gone next year as Seniors.
Yes ... getting them minutes in an already decided game might help with morale or marketing (both of which are suffering in CJ).
But, it might NOT help to physically ?? build the FUTURE of the team??
Does that make sense?!
We agree.
Not from CJ just can see he will run up the score and not use backups to build the program.
