How about the percentage for the football team, or more specific, the outstanding ones who have been signing the past couple of years or have already announced plans/offers?

 

My point was that sometimes a sports program's success is due to a committed coach that builds a competitive team with the players that show up every year.  A successful program motivates the players to do the extra work (i.e., Club play) because they want the success to continue and they want to be on the field instead of the bench.  Kids in some areas don't have access to Club soccer, or many families don't have and/or want to spend the money on Club soccer.  Not sure what you do about that, since it is just a fact of life in all sports now.

 

As for the ND football team, I don't know all the players, but I can tell you that the 2 players that are continuing their career at Tennessee Tech next year, and the one that will play at Furman next year all went to OLPH, which is a Catholic feeder school to ND.

    • Agree. The man literally sacrificed time, moments, memories you can't get back with his own family for every single athlete at that school. (and many others) To those that continue to be negative about him and continue to bring him up; He's been loyal, hardworking and just his entire coaching career. Ask anyone that actually has a leg to stand on in regard to Coach.
    • Egotistical? That's a new one.  It's funny, I'm friends with two of the younger coaches that he "ran off" as you say. In fact, he helped them find jobs, encouraged them to do what was best for their growing families, provided advice, support and still does to this day.

    • Track has always been big at OR. Ran off about 7 straight titles in the 60s. Your hate for Gaddis runs deep, huh? What did he ever do to you, to make you disdain him that much? You can’t seem to stop talking about the guy. He’s living rent free in your head. Might wanna get that checked out, you don’t wanna go to the grave with that on your heart.
    • This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…
