Still pretty early, but there are some coaches I anticipate will be relieved of their head coaching duties. Any coaches that you know of? Or coaches who plan on retiring or stepping down? Is this Severino's last year?
Coaching Changes

Dang, can they at least get the equipment checked in?
Fire them all and hire the mom who was screaming at me friday night.
In West Canaan we weren't even done playing when we had a coaching change. In a heroic event, the head coach was forced out of the locker room and ultimately the football program, at halftime of a district game. An inspiring halftime speech and genius play calling and execution sealed the deal for another district championship for the West Canaan Coyotes in 1997.
Ampipe has had its fair share of coaching changes as well. Sadly, the only coaching change that is talked about is the forcing out of Coach Nickerson!
I always wondered what happened to all of the assistant coaches after halftime in West Canaan?
Really it doesn't matter what happened to them. Kilmer made all the decision, both O and D...what matters is...we were heroes.

Back in the 70's when Monett had the quarterback Club the coach's would watch film with the fans and players on the weekends after the games. It is said that if a parent had asked Burl why their child was not getting much playing time, that during those film sessions he would make sure and point out to those parents and all those in the crowd all the mistakes little Johnny made during the game. They say after he did that just a few times parents quit coming to him and complaining.

Rumor has it Roderique and Bailey aren't going anywhere.
I dont know if this falls under Doc Guy nonsense though Raw. The original post was asking about coaches stepping down or being relieved of their duties. Mox and Bosko posted exactly about that.
What Shoot said was spot on! We dont bury threads Raw. We Doc Guys just relate the original thread topic, back to our glory days. Its not our fault that our glory days also happen to be documentaries!Didn’t say it was buried...only that it may deserve to be buried.
That's just AWESOME! Too funny. Assume that's from the Festus days?
18 yrs of coaching hoops, had nothing close to that. Truthfully, nothing all too out of the ordinary with parents. I did have two separate parents, years apart, come in for a talk about playing time and pull out youth soccer statistics. Just in case you're going back to check, yes I said I was a basketball coach for 18 yrs. I'm telling you, the second time it happened I thought I was on Candid Camera.
How dare you call them "loons" that is just not acceptable. JUST KIDDING. Thanks for the laugh.
I hate coaching changes....when Ara left, and Dan Devine came in, it was tough times....Ara promised I could dress one game, and Devine could care less....
Luckily Rudy, you had guys that had your back! Just like you do here with us doc guys!
No one ever turned in their jersey to support Rudy. Completely made up BS. And the entire stadium was not chanting Rudy. It was his family and a handful of those around them. Rudy is a fraud and a loser who could never keep a job and spent years trying to get a movie made about himself so he could be famous. Stop it.
- All parties, Rudy Ruettiger himself, admit the jersey-throwing scene never happened. Remember in the movie when members of the team toss their jersey onto Coach Dan Devine’s desk, saying they won’t play if Rudy doesn’t get dressed for the final game? Didn’t happen. In fact, Rudy was told several days before the game he could suit up. Although Rudy maintained that members of the team did pressure the coach to let him play, while Coach Dan Devine in his memoir said he decided alone that Rudy would dress and play that game.
- Speaking of Coach Devine, he says he agreed to be dramatized as “the heavy” in the film, but seemed to be surprised that in Hollywood “the heavy” sometimes means “the villain.” He also said of the film: “The jersey scene is unforgivable, it’s a lie and untrue.”
- In the film Rudy has an older brother Frank who constantly chides his younger brother’s ambitions. In fact, Rudy is the oldest son in the family, has no brother named Frank and no sibling who fits the Frank role. Rudy told the NY Times that fictitional person was the “composite of everyone who ever discouraged” him.
- And Frank is not the only character composite. Remember the ever-encouraging groundskeeper? Sorry, didn’t exist and that’s right, you guessed it: he’s the composite of everyone who did encourage him.
he is as real as me and youRudy is a FAKE DOC?????
Rudy is still a fun movie to watch and I can tell you that sometimes Documentaries can be "hollywoodized" a bit to get them to air, I can tell you - in our Doc- the scene where Stef threw trash on my wife and little girl- That was 100% real.
It was 100% real, I was there!
It was just a little trash on the lawn! that was it.... dont worry you prove your point !

Dang....some people are harsh.
Next thing you know, Mr. Duck will be throwing shade at Herman Boone, Yost, and the TC Williams football documentary

you sucker punched me in the stomach when i tried to get you to stop and then locked me out of the car... i get so hearted about this... you are lucky i am not in Ampipe anymore.
i actually heard Herman Boone was an A-hole... they covered it up in the Doc. Yost, tho... hell of a guy
I remember you coming at me that night Stef and I shoved you to the ground. No sucker punch here. Now that night at the Ampipe poll hall, you did receive a punch in the gut.
Getting fired for player abuse in the 70s sure raises red flags about a guy. Then again, two sides to every story too.
I guess the next thing you are going to tell me is that Santa Claus is not real.
She makes a lot of bird noises? Is she some kind of bird hybrid?
Or that the Doc Guys arent real!
Wait Santa isn’t real?!? Is the earth actually round? My world is shook.
I went to look up the mysterious creature. And I was stunned to find out she’s a artist. Who just makes noises. Welcome to 2018.
Well heck, even I could be an artist! With the noises I make after a long night of chicken wings and beer at the Ampipe pool hall!
