SAINT PIUS X in KC removes coach

Sounds like there were some back room discussions going on. Time will tell. We'll see how this plays out.
 
rumor has it he got pushed out for a youth coach from the Necco Raiders. Simone ring a bell

Let’s be fair. he may have got pushed out after losing his last 4 games 192-25. That and mailing it in for the last 10 years. And completely blowing off summer workouts.

It was time. He wants to keep coaching, we will see where he ends up. He is going to have to up his game though.

Unless they turn to the Saint Louis model for small privates I dont see them having success in the MEC. They would of been better served if they had joined the KCI.

I suspect they're going to get a daddyball coach to lure some talent. We shall see.
 
Interesting case study in coaching football, the growth and decline in communities, and shifting talent in football programs. Coach Byers was an excellent coach when those were in his favor. When the community changed and the talent fled it no longer mattered if he was Bear Bryant, he wasn't going to win. There are a lot of great coaches out there, Coach Byers included, who have really hard jobs at really hard places to win. My hat goes off to all whose ego's can handle the suffering and criticisms inherent at the hard jobs: they are the best coaches

Too many on this board hero worship the coaches with the jobs being fed by top-notch communities, and unfairly criticize those willing to take on the true challenges posed in less socially affluent communities. It's always gonna be the Jimmies and Joes!!!
 
The immediate area around the school was booming in the '70's and '80's. Not so anymore. There are several great schools in the KC Northland that don't charge tuition.

One of the first coaches I meet when I moved to this area. Class act. Wish him the best and have no doubt he will handle this with class and respect

I have always thought a KC private/charter school conference would be neat - St. Pius, Pembroke Hill, St. Michael's, Hogan Prep, University Academy, Summit Christian.
 
Great coach, even better man. They should've let him go out on his terms, he earned that much but who knows what went on behind closed doors and maybe he just wasn't ready to let the program go. The multiplier in '02-'03 really changed things for Pius in general, along with a shift in that area further north. If you look at the championship success in the program, most of it took place prior to that being added into the MSHSAA. They did have some success in '06 with the Cashmore kid that ran for ridiculous numbers but the NSYFL isn't what it used to be either so the recruiting grounds changed as well. Drove by the other day and they are putting in a brand new turf field so the facilities are getting better at least. That field has been terrible for years!

There is a lot of truth in this post.
