New Parkway South Woes

[TrooperBaby]

New Parkway South head coach has resigned after being the coach for less than a week. Parkway South also only had 18 varsity players show up to practice on Monday. Parkway South is 0-6 and will host Rockwood Summit this Friday.

Is the win-loss record the only justification for the head coach quitting mid season?

 

[Duck_walk]

They need to contact Rawmeat stat.

I wish there was a coach in St. Louis who had recently won a championship with strong recruiting, I mean "coaching" acumen in St. Louis looking for work... sounds like it could be the perfect marriage. Or theirs always Rush Propst.

Rawmeat could not thrive in today's offensive world. He would want to attempt a pass every other week, run sprint option in 7 on 7 and would never do anything but go under center. The parents would be breathing down his neck no matter what he did in his offense despite the success he would have.

I do not believe so. The principal at Parkway South went ahead and hired a new Offensive Coordinator mid season. I do not believe the head coach and principal were on the same page with this hire. Parkway South has been god awful in the past couple years too. So in other words, there is a good chance there is other stuff going at Parkway South.

Heck, The parents were breathing down my neck in the 90’s. We had one formation called “Grog”. We had two plays: “Unga Bunga Right” And “Unga Bunga Left”.

It’s painfully obvious we’re acquainted to some capacity, though.

Some call our offense Jurassic...

 

[JNreturns]

Hire the fired Trinity coach.

When he had 5 kids (all named Mongo) on his O-line back in the day it was one of the scariest things you have ever seen just seeing them get off the bus.

 

[BoosterBosko]

Hire the fired Trinity coach.

Or the recently fired Colquitt County coach!

Tougher to recruit to a public school.

But not impossible...

Trooperbaby...I don't agree with your statement that a run based offense couldn't thrive in today's offensive world...

Too many high school teams struggle because TOO MANY coaches double down on the spread type offensives despite the fact that they don't have the personal to run it....Pass, Pass, try a zone read, then punt....and repeat.....

 

[J. Kane]

Spread offense is like Gonorrhea....In STL its spreading like California wild fires(no pun attended)

We had a camp this summer with us (Fox), St. Clair, Hillsboro, and Washington. Four flex-bone teams. I'm pretty sure the parents thought we were setting football back fifty years.

 

[BoosterBosko]

Somehow, methinks TrooperBaby said that to give me some @#$&. It’s obvious we’ve had some contact in years gone by. The whole “run the option during passing league” tipped me off. Made me laugh out loud.
Haven’t figured it out yet, but I’m pretty sly, TrooperBaby!

Dont let him fool you. He isnt sly at all. If he does remember who you are, he will just insult your wife.

They stayed awake long enough to notice?
If I see one more “double wing” formation this year my head may explode.

Nothing like announcing a game between two of those teams. Well Bob, they used up all of the 40 second clock and got 3 yards so that’s the perfect play.......

 

[Duck_walk]

I think my worst case scenario is to go to a game with both coaching staffs all decked out in sweater vests and khakis running the “flex bone” on both sides and they huddle for 30 seconds before communicating the play via telegraph or carrier pigeon and they do the fake motion and then reset every play even though the defense doesn’t move with the motion man for 32 consecutive downs.

Yes I'd much rather take in two OC's in visors and Oakleys (at night for some reason) in the gun throwing the ball 60 (completing maybe 25) times and who think Jet Sweep is the only running game they need.

If you don't like the flexbone, at least take solace in the fact that they take 3 hours less on average than the above mentioned scenario.

 

[Veerman_12]

You know, that’s what makes this great game so unique...the very different styles different programs incorporate.

Gotta love the chess match.

 

[Veerman_12]

Especially if your rooks and bishops are bigger and faster than the other guy’s.

That always helps.

why you think that is?

 

[freezeoption]

Running ov in flexbone had to bring down linemen splits. That's why I liked it better with wishbone.

I watched MICDS and Westminster yesterday. I have friends with kids on both teams, MICDS threw the ball 1 time. The MICDS dad wanted more passing, MICDS won 42-14. I think people just want to see passing

No duh. Imagine being a receiver who came to every 7on7, ran routes all summer, worked on your craft the weeks of camp and the preseason and then your team throws once and you aren’t even the target. Smh. If the football field is an extension of the classroom, then reward all of your students hard work with the attention it deserves.

MICDS starting QB has been hurt the past few weeks- only 5 passes the last 3 weeks.

So the individual getting rewarded (individually) is more important than the TEAM winning?

If course you're a Kaepernick supporter...makes sense.

If your back up QB is a 14 yr old freshman speedster who can’t throw then I don’t think youre punishing your kids. My point was, they still wanted to see passing when it was obvious the kid could not pass it very well.

It’s a 4 TD game. Spread some joy, bruh.

Throw the kid a bone, here. Sprint out and throw a hitch. Spread the joy.

They won. That's all the joy required. It's not the YMCA it's not youth league. Their backs and coach will love them up plenty for stalk blocking their tails off and contributing to a win. If their ego needs more than that, well, they can afford MICDS so they can definitely afford to go somewhere that throws the ball.

How old are you? "Bruh" stops at 22.

 

[Duck_walk]

The MICDS d

Sparked a memory:
One year we’re up big. 42-0 early in the 2nd. We kept starting O line in and subbed out the backfield in the 2nd quarter.
We were still moving the ball well, but subbing out on defense allowed the opponent to get a couple first downs. No worries. 49-0 halftime.
Second half: Everyone’s playing all across the board, which is cool, but I really don’t want to put up any more points.
Now, we had a a tough little field general QB that year. Good leader, good option QB, but about 1/3 passes look more like they’ve been kicked off a tee rather than being thrown. When he would throw a good one and have receivers wide open, it would often bounce right off their hands.
So, heck, we start throwing, mostly to backups. Balls that would hit the TEs and receivers in the hands would be spiked into the turf like they thought they were on the volleyball court.
Turboclock, though and it gave those kids a chance while simultaneously keeping the score down AND quieting all the kibitzing about “You don’t throw enough”.
Win, win, right?
Oh, no
Opposing coaches are irate postgame for trying to “run it up” on them.

People are so annoying.

The game was tied 7-7 at half, MICDS dealt with 11 in the box, tried a pass, it was bad and it was a sprint out. MICDS ran a very good option game, they came out completely different in 2nd half, fired up.

As I tell my wife, K.

 

[Duck_walk]

Ah, it’s stories like that give former coaching buddies and I the incentive to get together and reminisce. Memories that seem to get funnier and funnier with time.

Or maybe senility is finally setting in?

Since, we are here already. Toward the end there I am coaching freshman st SG. We are up 35 in the 4th quarter. I have subs at half the positions because we only had 20 something players and our backup QB is out.
They literally have 9 people in the box, so I put in a backup slot receiver who hasn’t caught a pass all year and want to throw him a bubble screen, because he deserved it.
Given his lack of speed I knew it was safe that he wouldn’t score.

Well the snap by the backup center sails 8 feet over the QB who runs back to get the ball, scrambles around for about 12 seconds with half the defense in pursuit, he can’t throw the bubble but he looks up and sees a receiver 40 yards down field all alone and heaves it for what becomes a 60 yard TD. I didn’t want that.

But Coach Bach, who is reffing the game calls Stolzer that night and tells that I am a prick and was calling long passes up 35 in the 4th quarter. I get called into Buffalo’s office for a butt chewing and later it’s mentioned in my evaluation meeting with the AD. Bahahahahaha

Back to Parkway South:

I happened to catch them on hudl a bit yesterday. (A family member coaches and they have some common opponents).

In light of the situation, I saw the lads still plugging away and giving a good effort. Really couldn’t find any loafing or quitting. A lesser group would’ve folded up their tents in the face of adversity.

Keep plugging away, gents...

Do they still have a monster of an RB, or did he stop playing? He would be a junior i think

I was just giving rawmeat shit. I wasn’t serious in my statement at all.

I hear Roosevelt's coach is available indefinitely. . . but no one can comment as to why.
