I know evryone seems to real really want Matt Daniel as coach, but my biggest concern with him is that I think he would be a friend more than a coach. Once again let me say I think if he is interested he should be considered and if he has learned how to demand the players respect, then he would need to be seriously considered. I agree with something "cchssupporter" said about Riverdale, tradition is tradition, the reason they struggled last year is because they graduated 6 D-1 signees and numerous other D-2 signees and I mean before Adellyot was at Riverdale he built a consistent powerhouse at Hillsboro, so the guy knows how to win and he surrounds himself with winners and people who expect to win. So in my opinion if we could pluck someone off his staff or another power team's staff to bring that kind of mantality to our school it would be tremendous.
I believe that the players would give Daniel the respect a head coach needs and deserves. I know that last year when the players believed that he would be the new coach they began to treat him as a head coach. Of course they would still view him as a friend, but would also listen to him and do what needs to be done.
