Marion coach let go

[riverrat]

Read the article, seems he was trying to build the program where it starts ( in the weight room ) I know of 1 school that doesn't even lift during the season...and only 8 workouts are required during the summer break....REALLY gunna get strong with those 8......yea right !!!! The off season is where the games are won !!!! Most of a schools revenue comes from the FB program.... Seems to me Marion FB program is not very high on the list to be sucessful... I wish the guy luck, seems he wanted to go in the right direction but with your hands tied it hard to do

 

Sounds like one of those graveyard jobs unless they plan on making administrative changes. Takes balls or lack of brains to start 8 freshmen.

Troll for once i agree a swift groin kick is justified in this case!!!! Ya'll Pigtown heroes keep up ur whinning, but until there is a change in the principals office the program will continue to decline... there is no school pride up there anymore i say step up Jasper and climb on a different horse and ride it like u stole it.

 

Ride it like you stole it s a funny comment coming from the County Seat of Marion County where the Court House has been known to burn do cover up such things. The only squealing like a pig we hear is from Jasper.

"Ultimately I take responsibility for the demise of the program, but I did everything I could short of recruiting kids from Alabama or Chattanooga like other programs."

 

Look at the Pot calling the Kettle black. He and I both know the truth. That's all I have to say about him

I think the Whitwell coach will be o.k. He made a lot of progress. They took a lot of injuries that really hurt them down the stretch.

I'm not completely disagreeing with you. I've met Barnhardt and he is a stand-up guy and I think you're right in that Whitwell will give him another chance. But look at the injuries the Pirates have had to deal with. Vic is the kind of guy that inspired his bench to step up and get the job done. I don't think a good coach will use injuries as an excuse.

No surprise here. Any thoughts on top potential replacements? Why not bring someone in from those talented 90's teams who know about tradition and what it takes to win!

I understand one may be rising out of the ashes!

I'm pretty sure many know about him recruiting SP players to come up there...Did he come after Travis last year? Kinda funny how he left cause he thought he wasn't getting enough responsibility at SP then falls flat when given the chance...I dont know him personally but I was told he is a very hard person to get along with...Ole Frankenstein got what was coming to him

Good luck to Coach Boeck and to the Warrior program in the future. Personally I believe MC has taken a giant step backwards but........right or wrong, decision has been made. I also haven't read the article yet; his recruiting quote was likely a spontaneous remark made out of frustration. He's worked all year long being the symbolic whipping boy for MC's lack of success. Man has a right to feel some frustration right now. Give him a break on this one comment. His feelings will likely temper somewhat in the ooming weeks. I don't have a clue to what happened with this program. Anyone who believes one man bears all the blame knows even less than I do. I admire him for not quitting; I wouldn't have blamed him if he had though. Seems like a lot of athelets quit him early; I blame parents for that. Just a sad situation all around. Coach Boeck will be fine; I suspect the MC football program will too. Way too many motivated folks involved to allow the present trend to continue. Thanks Coach Boeck for everything.

I never heard him use it as an excuse. I just saw the injury reports mount over the last half of the season. Plus, he didn't have Grider's bench either.

I tried to tell that Purplegrad man to tell that Beck man to turn in his survey for the Murphy Fair book. I garuntee you that Zieglar man was mad because this Beck man could never beat Grider and Grider is his biggest rival. You think im joking but im not.
