That's a very good question

Are you sure about that Where did you get this information

Clay would do well there and so would Komisar. Like someone said if Law doesnt get East I could see him applying at the wood too. Law is not going to Maplewood. I believe he is going out of county.

I guarantee the coach from Whites Creek didn't interview.

No. It's not that the administration isn't interested, it's that no one wants to come to those messes. From the looks of it, no one wants to stay at those messes either. In other words.....metro is a mess.

Coach Law was not fired at Whites Creek. It's almost impossible to fire a guy who just took a team to the Semi Finals. If I'm not mistaking he resigned to get a new job. Check into that.

You are a wise man, Gambler. Very well put.

1. Moose Phillips, Hillwood I dont care if Knute Rockne was the coach, the talent at Hillwood is zip zero nothing you need to have some sort of players - whom is too say Moose is a good coach ? You said Law was a good hire (25-25-50% winning percentage) and if you listen to what moose said" I’ve been told by other coaches the talent is there every year at Whites Creek,” Phillips said. “It’s just how you nurture it and develop it and get it on board with what you’re trying to accomplish" YOu would think that LAW should have had a better record one and two that he didnt know how to "nurture"his talent. ALSO why was Law suspended for one game this year? 2. playcalling at this level is not overrated, but gambler- i agree with you 100% on you saying the """a coach must develop implement and maintain a system that fits the kids and be adapted every year and Develop the system that fits the kids and then run it. Also the day in day out of the program is important. Instilling discipline, work ethic, and character. Also holding players accountable. Football is all about mentality and a coach maintaining a consistent program is vital for success."""" 3.what three plays at INDY are you talking about? 4. you said """Defense in high school is very simple and all about players wanting to play for their DC and run to the football"" what about tackling. i saw the defense of indy running to the ball but they lacked tackling skills (fundementals) and i would call Rectors, or Webbs defenses simple at all 5.African american coaches in wilco - Page had Palmer a few years back, Palmer also was the head coach at Franklin HS - okay JAY 5 = Beech is a great team, they have the golden ball to show us all - All i was saying that they were a bunch of average kids with a few studs and they bought into crabtrees system and played all around sound fundemental ball... I think we can agree that gallatin Coach Lassiter is well respected but during the post season he stated " that Beech talent wise was almost out matched all year ,But they bought into the system,they play hard nose fundemental football and they have bought into the us against the world" So a good coach does get the best out of his players = look at maryville no way year in year out do they have the best talent of the field, but they do have the best coach in the state, along with a solid staff, middle school feeders, and so -forth-yeah it helps if you have some studs as Smyrna did with gray and Wilkes as well... you SAID ""All coaches do is make a few calls a game. The game is decided by the young people on the field. Very seldom do coaches' win games. I don't care what you say, there is no coach in this galaxy that has tackled a soul. He hasn't thrown a pass, made a block or nothing. All the work is put in by the athlete. That's called self discipline!!! Coaches don't lift weights. They get up at 6am but all they do is open the doors. The kid has to show up. Stop putting it on the coaches. Either way. If the players win they have talent...""" coaches make more then a few calls a game - coaches have tackled ,throw a pass, made a block they have lifted weights - Jay 5 yeah you are gonna have a few studs that have the god givin talent , but its the coaches that put the offseaon workout plan in place, the game plan in place, it is them that teaches them to tackle the correct way, , the coach teaches a QB to read a defense, teaches a WR to break off the line of scrimmage, teaches a CB bump and run, teaches an OL to pull, teaches a DE to shed a block---yeah the game is decided by the young men on the field but its a reflection of the coaching staff..... Obviously, you have NEVER been to an "inner city" public school. You mentioned a word called consistency, I believe. Well, there isn't any in metro and it probably won't ever be. The middle school football is bad, therefore high school is going to be bad. If I'm not mistaking, Law did go 0-10 in 07. The same year that he started 18 freshmen and sophomores. 08 4-7, losing to Mt. Juliet in double overtime in the first round.and 09 semi finals while beating Goodpasture(program), Hillsboro(talent), Hunters Lane(Wes Elrod-wing T Guru) lost to Mt.Juliet 15-12 (9-1, program every year) From what I read in the paper he sat 5 defensive starters vs David Lipscomb. Law had 5 head principals in 5 years as the head coach. Only one in the history of football to have to go through that. What about coach retention? If i'm not mistaking, didnt law lose three ball players to gang violence. it must have been tough trying to keep all of that together. Dyson may have done a decent job hiring Law. That remains to be seen. I also think if someone can be a head coach in metro they're going to ok in the county schools with the necessary support. Dyson-metro,Law -metro. Which brings me to this.....who are the other coaches. we just keep talking about these two. its going to take more than that. I'm going to try and find out why Law was suspended.

Gambler, best quote of the thread to me. You have stated some good things in my opinion. Some are just looking for a way to tear up Indy before it gets built. Now, how long does Dyson get to get the winning going?

Law announced his resignation as head football coach on Tuesday. “It’s due to personal reasons, which I’d rather not get into,’’ Law told The City Paper on Wednesday. Law will continue to teach at the school. He had a 29-29 record in his five seasons with the Cobras, Law was suspended by the school for one game in October for a sidelines incident during the Cobras game with Pearl-Cohn. Law however would not elaborate on whether that incident in any way contributed to his resignation....... CANT FIND ANYWHERE THAT TELLS US WHY a coach would be suspended..... anyways , its dysons tean and he can bring in anyone he wants, look for toast deron jenkins to be the d- cord or rocky c. someone earlier said dyson would be a good coacah casue he played football in the nfl - news flash just because you played in the nfl does not mean you can coach - as for his two masters heck i am sure he will be named the new IHS principal in 3 years the rate he is going-resume he has none for coaching let alone as an AD- someone PLEASE tell us why webb declined the offer...... Law actually announced his resignation on Tuesday, January 5. Its odd that a principal would suspend a coach and can't tell anyone why. Had to be something to that.

well pointed out about boro- and why would a good person make a good coach? great players help make a great coach yes but look at state 5A champs Beech and cocah Crabtree- predicted 4th in district, very average players , mostly young soph and jrs but look what a great coach can do to average talents kids... Wow again. If you think for one second those kids at Beech are average you're fooling yourself. They won the state championship. Average doesn't win. Once you keep winning, average goes out of the window. You are now a good football team. Win the state, you're great. All coaches do is make a few calls a game. The game is decided by the young people on the field. Very seldom do coaches' win games. I don't care what you say, there is no coach in this galaxy that has tackled a soul. He hasn't thrown a pass, made a block or nothing. All the work is put in by the athlete. That's called self discipline!!! Coaches don't lift weights. They get up at 6am but all they do is open the doors. The kid has to show up. Stop putting it on the coaches. Either way. If the players win they have talent....If they lose they have bad coaching.....all of that is poppy ####. If the Saints or Colts lose do their coaches stink, do they have bad quarterbacks. No. They just didn't play well enough to win, on that day!. Eagles work hard in the weight room. You don't even need a coach to lift weights. Work hard learning the systems. Stay off Coacht.com because you may start to believe the nasayers(sp). Believe in your coaches, your teammates, and most importantly, yourselves. You are going to be fine. I Promise!

Wow you guys are incredible. Bottom line. If you have good players then you are a good coach. If you have bad players you are a bad coach. Coaches make players. We don't know how good Dyson is going to be perceived. That remains to be seen. If you are a good person, you probably can be a good coach. And we always talk about pro ball players being good this that and the other. We from where i sit you can be a good coach if you work at it. Good luck to the Eagles! if you're going to support them now is the time. either you're a fan or your not.

Well Mr. Indyeagle 09. I would bet the farm that you know nothing about either of these guys. More so Law than Dyson. You may want to chek facts before you start spreading stuff around. First to answer your question, NO Law was not let go. There is no way WilCo will hire anyone who has been fired or "let go". He resigned on his own terms. You can probably ask around if you want to know more about the Law guy. I heard he was going to go to Oakland but chose Independence instead. Now, I've been reading a lot of post about this situation. The bottom line is Dyson is the coach. Whether you support him or not is you wish. If you're not going to support, then don't tear the program up with your negativity. There's no way of knowing what's going to happen until it happens. I do think Dyson knows a little football. After all, he was the guy 1 yard short of SB champion. I'm sure he didn't spend all that time playing college and pro ball and learned absolutely nothing. Doesn't he have a masters degree? I wish Independence the very best in 2010. Regardless who the coaches are.
