Derwin Wright at York Steps Down

[UCPrepShowcase]

Guess YAI now enters the coaching search portal..... A TON of great young talent coming back. The right choice here could make the Dragons VERY competitive

Good run..Hope they get a good replacement that plays the same kind of ball.

What kind of ball?

[MadHatter1]

Smash mouth. Good defense. Wing T. Flexbone whatever you want to call it.

I didn't know anything about York so I watched the OCT SC game.  Looks like they run a triple option flexbone run scheme.  Easy fixes if the next coach keeps it. IMA- Splits were too narrow,  Didn't look to block the option traditionally.  (You have to be sure and double the action key and get movement)  Also looked to have some minor footwork issues .   Lastly York looked to run out of a unbalanced OL surface flex formation as their base.  One traditional characteristic of the flexbone is that a balanced formation causes the defense to balance which allows your QB and O-line to see and read 1 thru 4  without an extra load to the play side.  You can't date the option, you have to marry it

I haven't seen the job advertised on TSSAA, any knowledge on who may step in? 

I wish Coach Wright the best of luck in his new role and York in their search

I’ve heard one of the assistants has been saying he is in line. A lot of talk of boys quitting if this is the case. I hope they make a good hire.

I've heard the opposite.  I believe they will hire from within.  I don't know of any of the coaches the kids don't like.

They play good football from the youth level up. It all appears to be a similar system. Better of to hire within and keep that system going. It serves them well.

Anyone heard of any of the applicants?

[Classless]

From the talk at the basketball game last night what I stated previously is true. Players have already began getting out of the weight program. I was really hoping for a good hire but it looks like promotion from within.

  Who do you think would be a good fit?

I don’t know who is a good fit. I am just going by the talk on the street. If kids are getting out of the weight program based on the perception of who the coach will be I’m guessing that’s not a good fit.  It may be natural progression of high school kids changing their mind but it’s not usually your upper classmen getting out.
