It came quicker than I thought it would. Hopefully they will find a good coach during the off season. Coach Reid is good man but no head coach.

I think it was lack of talent more than coaching.  Good luck coach Reid from a milan fan.

no lack of talent....lack of community...parental and administrative support...I predicted this back when they stabbed a good coach and an even better man....Dan Bland..in the back and inserted Jr.into that position....jr is a good man but wasn't ready for that job....the powers that be that made that decision should resign.....

No Humboldt has enough talent year in and out to compete in 1A on a regular basic. Talk to anybody out of Humboldt and they will tell you the same thing. Plenty of posters on Coacht have said and know this as well. Simply Reid was not ready for High School Coaching job.
