The biggest problem is you cannot get assistant coaches in the building. It has been a problem there for some time. There is also a lack of understanding by administration of how much really goes into putting a real winner on the field. You can put athletes out there and win games, but not championships. If you can't understand the difference, then you cannot possibly understand what is going on.

 

I have no idea how Mr Manuel is as a head principal. I like him a lot as a person and he did a good job as an assistant, but sometimes getting the big job changes a person. I can name several instances in Metro where the guy suddenly thought more highly of himself (and his worth) than he should have. I am not saying this is what happened with Rod, I have no clue.

 

A successful school is dependent on more than having a public speaker leading the way. Talk will only get you so far. There has to be a group effort by everyone involved from the guidance office to teachers and students all the way down to the custodians. Everyone has to be on the same page. A lot of blustery talk and bullying will not get it done. I know Swamisays will back me up on this. Lord knows it did not work with Pedro Garcia.

Good post bigchief! You're absolutely right....as good as a staff as they had under Blade only 2 assistants were also teachers at HHS. Compare that to when Aydelott left, ALL the assistants were also teachers at HHS. I am becoming convinced that that is an underestimated factor.

 

Playtime with MNPS schools is over for HHS football. They are now in District 11-AAA where the all the other sports have been competing for years and working very hard for every bit of success they earn. Coming off a state championship victory over the program who then had the nation's longest winning streak provides HHS with a unique opportunity. I REALLY hope they take advantage of it with their hiring of a HC. Sink or Swim time at HHS!

Players have not had weight lifting or conditioning all week and are being told nothing. I believe this is a low down shame. These kids have worked their butts off and are being cast aside. Just another reason people pull their kids out of Metro schools. I believe the administration both at HHS and central office should be ashamed.

You are totally correct.

You are correct, they should be ashamed. But since they are still receiving very large paychecks with no accoutability for their failures in serving the students of MNPS, smug and arrogant is more of what they really are.

The same thing happened when Aydelott left. There was no weight lifting, no conditioning, no spring practice, and no spring game. Yet, the team went to the state championship. Not saying the new coach will pull off what Blade did, but it is possible for the team to recoup.

Exactly, I don't see the Burros having to big of a tree to climb if they work hard to make up for last time when they get this new coach (and he also knows what he's doing).

 

It took forever to get practice going with Blade because he was out of state and not from here and had to get situated. Most likely this head coach is going to be from here and could of been hired a while ago. It's probably just Metro once again dropping the ball and putting things off until they have to be dealt with.

When Aydelott left there was still weight lifting going on, with Coach Phillips, Coach FInch, and Coach Herzog ran the program. And spring practice was ran by Coah Phillips, because he believed in showing them he was capable of running the program, Phillips also ran practices until Blade came from California, so the team didn't miss a beat, they were always learning, Blade gave him th enew system and he started implementing it for Blade in his absence.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?

      Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?

      Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
