100 percent what has started to happen in Webb. They are told by councilors that everytime they get feelings hurt to come in and they will fix it for them......not i am going to help you figure a way to work through it. They are soft and nothing is working for. They get benched....they quit the next year.
Odessa is open

What does Odessa bring to the table for a coach? Do they have any privates pulling lids from them or anythingike that?
It's not just the kids getting their feelings hurt that he is talking about. I've heard many stories of how he treats adults as well...not great stuff but that doesn't take away from his football knowledge/coaching abilities, just means I don't care to ever meet the guy
Yeah they have St. Paul Lutheran. I doubt they pull any away from Odessa though
Sometimes parents need to be told to stay in their lane as well though. There is an area for open dialogue however most parents take things personal and or overstep much more than a coach does.
I wasn't talking about how he treats parents cause I do agree that they need to be informed of their actual role at times.

And that listed should have included 2020 Odessa! Stupid COVID season
I think some did but Odessa has really turned into a premier wrestling school. Which might actually hinder the football program as so many kids are sticking to one sport these days
Very true, their wrestling team has been really good and getting better. I think they had several freshmen medal last year which is scary for the next few years.
Four years later still wonder about them vs. Blair Oaks.................would have been another classic for sure!
Kearney made that work but many dont. Neosho had a great program but never transfered over to football. Seneca was great but bad at football. Not sure if this years team is full of wrestlers or not. Ours is one of the worst in the state.
Larger class but Staley made both sports work big time last decade...............
Our last 2 state champs were sadly weak on the field. Bot sure how a 220 de can go undefeated wreslting but cant win against a 5'10 right tackle.
Wasn't he also an assistant at Jeff City back in the day?
It was a potential reason for why the numbers being low... I doubt any could care less if he is Nice or Not
Mark is a old school football coach yeah that might not work for some people but his results can't be disputed. Mark creates tough young men and at the end of the day some can't take it. If you ask some of the 02-03 crew from Kearney now they would give him a lot of credit for their success in life.
Yeah I'm assuming you are talking about other coaches. He doesn't treat many people very well..... but he does win!
Winning is ultimately what matters!
Winning is nice but raking in the cash and generating revenue is better. NOW if you can find that perfect combo of winning AND generating revenue? Sky is the limit!
And you launder said revenue to pay your restaurant bills!
Remember the team huddles after each win those two years? They showed one after Kearney dismantled a very good Ray-Pec 42-6 on Metro Sports September 2003 those exceptional young men all "at attention" especially one Benny Palmer.
FUN memories!
If you're allegedly using restaurants to clean your money, you aint gonna last long!
From an impartial HS football fan POV that Kearney team was a blast to watch. I remember watching the 2002 team dismantle Eureka in the champtionship and it was a dominant performance. I don't think Eureka knew what hit them. My first time watching Tommy Saunders and I was a fan.
The D that year were the most amazing bunch of ball thieves I've seen to date. Literally any time they group stopped a RB/WR look out that ball was coming out...................
I remember #3 Darnell Terrell running for a long TD first or second play from scrimmage it sure never happened again that day in the Dome.
Hahahaha, I don't know they guy from Moses. Definitely impartial on my part, just relaying what the word on the street was. He could be great for all I know but I assume that's what Trumanbulldog was alluding to.
