" coach B has the right schemes in place .... " Coach B ? Who on the IHS staff are you refering to ?

MEMO TO ALL THE INDY KOOL - AID DRINKER 'S : The D & O Line play against both BGA & DICKSON CO. was horrible. These poor kids are just a bunch of stand up guys with no concept of the reality that lower pads and inside hands win. Heckman or no Heckman Segal will boat race IHS. This will be the beginning of a four game debacle ( Segal, Oakland, MBA, and Brentwood ).

The good news is that INDY finally has a D - Coordinator in place. The bad news is that INDY still has the same O - Coordinator ( Eubanks ) in place.

A wet field didn't stop the Franklin vs. Riverdale scrimmage from being rescheduled from Friday to Monday. Why didn't Eubanks reschedule Blackman for Monday ?

Consider that Darryl Hammonds in terms of a football pedigree was coached by George Welch at UVA and was a Grad. Assistant at Penn. St. That being said Eubank's makes Hammonds " Safety Coach " Meanwhile Gates and Alexander are assigned to coach the O & D Lines which both performed poorly under their coaching last year. By the way what are the pedigree's of Alexander and Gates other than being Eubank's "boys" ?

Good News ! ! You can @@@@ up a win for IHS against Hillsboro this year. EUBANK'S will out coach Dennis Moreno the newly named Hillsboro HC. Consider that almost every time Moreno's Hunters Lane Defense has gone up against a Willamson County team they have been decisively beaten. Moreno"s poor performances against Wiiiamson County teams will continue despite a change of address.

INDEPENDENCE SPRING ASSESSMENT - Excellent QB, smart, durable, good decision maker,and leads by example.Overall team speed average not as fast as Hillsboro, Oakland or Franklin. Potential to be boat raced by both Hillsboro and Oakland in much the same way as Franklin did it to IHS last year. O & D Lines average at best could be knocked off the line of scrimmage by MBA, Brentwood, and Oakland do to the lack of overall strength as documented by the year to date strength training results. COACHING ? ? New D - Coordinator ? ? Offensive scheme ? ?

Mack, stop drinking the Eubank's Kool Aid for just a few moments and realistically offer your evaluation of how IHS matches up with their first four opponents : SIEGAL, OAKLAND, BRENTWOOD and MBA .

It is time to move on and look to this up coming season. Having said that where does IHS FOOTBALL stand as spring practice starts ? The results of the strength training to date are at best average ? Does anyone know if Eubanks has named a D - COORDINATOR ? It will be interesting to see if Eubanks makes any significant changes in his offensive scheme this spring. I sure hope that Red Roberts is back coaching as Eubanks certainly needs input from a coach with Red's background and experience.

It is quite obvious that you have no concept of what a knowledgeable coach is looking for in terms of O & D Line strength. It is April and in terms of raising Juniors and Seniors all your interior starters should squat at least 400 lbs. and at the very least 50 % of them should bench 300 lbs. Unless your planning on being 4 & 6 again ! ! !

[quote name='mackbrown' date='Apr 5 2009 - 09:28 PM' post='82707 But on a positive note the Eagles new strengthing coach is also the student pastor at a local chruch, hes a real great guy and really strong. So you know Dr. C isnt hiring all ignorant bumbs or former Franklin coaches he knows. Your posting are always amusing to read. For example, the qualifications for a strength & conditioning coach are premised on being a "student pastor.... real great guy and really strong. " What about being n.s.c.a. or u.s.a.w. certified ? Most importantly what about the results which are posted inside the wieght room on the white board for any inquiring mind to read. Alex Heckman needs to be recognized for the positive results of his work ethic. But the O-Line, D-Line, and LB"S that are to date without a 300 lbs. bench presser. And one starting OT/DT Lineman does not squat max. 350 lbs. Without significant improvement IHS will be for difficult evenings against Oakland, MBA, Hillsboro, and Brentwood.

To reply as Webster aptly states is " to respond. " You did not respond to my post. You simply pontificate your dogmatism. Case in point, you stated " you ( INDYFBMAN ) think they ( IHS ) have more talent this year." Question : where did I either state or imply that IHS has more talent this year ? Should you decide to reply be specific quote me ! Stay on task don't ramble !

Your construct lacks logic. Your assertion that " the strongest and fastest team around can still be beaten by a poor game plan and mismanagement of talent " states a true not at issue in my brief note. To expand upon my original concept please know that the successful coach plans the year in terms of Periodization ( general prep,sport specific prep,precompetitive, competitive ) recognizing that each step builds in logical sequence toward the ultimate goal of winning. Accordingly the question at issue at this writing should be is a solid foundation of strength and conditioning being established ? Check out the results for each IHS football player as they are posted on the wieght room wall and make your own decision.

The success or failure of the IHS football team will to a significant extent be determined by the results of pre - season prep. This journey begins with strength & speed training.

I assume from your posts that you are an IHS student. If so just drop by the wieght room and check out the posted maxs for each Indy player. The recorded facts document the teams progress to date.
