Lost Old Dad Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Good Luck Coach K. The only thing I can surmise from this entire thread is we got a new HC and hardtickle still has a spot as an assistant. If y'all are waiting for me to say anything else...........you will be waiting for awhile. Now when is spring practice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrior82dad Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Its not up to us to say anything. The proof and pressure is on him..... Lets just hope he's smart enough to realize what is needed.. 1. Get the kids back out and participating in football. 2. Develop players. It should be rare when the team relies on incoming freshmen and transfers to be competitive. It should always be next man up. Love transfers, they make your team better, but they should not be the only reason your team is competitive. 3. Get the facilities back up to a level that makes everyone proud. 4. Let freshmen be freshmen and sophomores be sophomores. Some will be good enough but it shouldn't be the result all the upper classmen leaving the program. 5. Hire the best available assistants. Embrace talented coaches don't be afraid of them. 6. Value strength and conditioning. 7. See #6 8. Promote the program. Promote the program and be creative. 9. Schedule to develop your team. 10. Embrace the Riverdale tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJGOLDENBEARS Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Coach K is a hot head. Good luck to him but I don't think he has what it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGUN Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Some folks will never be satisfied.... Old coach gone.... new coach hired so now lets set the sights on someone else to crucify....like Nolan.... The overall expectation that programs return to the glory days as other schools emerge taking talent from the area is well kinda like the stock market,,,, cyclical and goes through corrections... sometimes your up and sometimes you are down.... Embrace the new coach,,, support him and his staff,,,, leave the school girl bashing techniques where they belong... if the coach feels the support it will transcend to the players and at the end of the day that's all that matters,,,, ,,,, its about the team and no one,,, no group,, no donor is bigger than the team.....

hardtackle Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Coach K is a hot head. Good luck to him but I don't think he has what it takes. You have enough problems with your own coach to be talking about anyone else. I do not think yours has what it takes either,if not for Daddy he would not be a head coach.

hardtackle Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Its already there...On state championship trophies! you had nothing to do with Rankin being hired either, so your support has always been what it is supposed to be,support.

hardtackle Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Its already there...On state championship trophies! I got a feeling your name is on nothing. I stand corrected. i just went by the trophies again and did see some names I did not see at first glance. I saw blowhard,whiney butt, cry baby, brat, and manager. One of these yours? You do seem to be all of these,except manager,that does require some skills Edited February 17, 2016 by hardtackle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorsedge Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 This job is not as shiny on the outside as the insiders think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCman Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) We've all known this was a possibility and have discussed it earlier on this thread. Really hope that Coach K can get it done and everybody supports him. Just some random thoughts: Spring practice starts 4/19 Per the DNJ, Nolan had around 50 applications for the job. Only time will tell if he made the right choice...pretty clear that he made the easy choice. Coach K is young, comes from a coaching bloodline, and could be around for a long time if successful. Pretty much a high risk, high reward kind of hire. Coach K was the defensive coordinator last year that gave up and average of 45 points per game in three games with Blackman and Oakland. Statistically, offensive coordinators have been more successful when moving up to the head job than defensive coordinators (at least in college). Read a really interesting article about this once and there are some very notable exceptions. Coach K's quotes in the DNJ really spoke to his enthusiasm and that he understands the opportunity he's been given. His enthusiasm has never been in question. He's a head coach now. Need to get rid of the Will Muschamp personna and become more Nick Sabanish. Your a head coach now...a good plan will outlast emotion. We'll know a lot real soon. Will he clean out the dead weight around the coaching staff and how will he fill the open OC and DC roles. Can he get the kids out for spring practice. Honestly, he'll get more scrutiny than an established, successful head coach would have received. He has some very tough calls to make right out of the gate and needs to make the right calls and hires. It's tough to come into a high expectation job surrounded by low expectations for success. It's really all upside for Coach K from here if he can get it done. Good luck Coach K!!! Edited February 17, 2016 by TDCman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDCman Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 No announcement of the hire on the Riverdale web site. Information is crucial to promoting the program. Hope this issue can get fixed. Side question. Has Aydelott physically left Riverdale and moved on to his new job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
