Riverdale hires Will Kriesky

[Lost Old Dad]

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?

[warrior82dad]

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.

Coach K is a hot head. Good luck to him but I don't think he has what it takes.

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.....

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.

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.

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

This job is not as shiny on the outside as the insiders think.

[TDCman]

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!!!

Lol wait until this season when Riverdale fails to make the playoffs, and MJ has a 10 win season.

He will be dominating Maryville in no time.

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?
