Portland has plenty of talent with their skill players. Needs a little more size and depth on the lines. Biggest problems are coaches not knowing what to do with the talent they have. No creativity, stuck in their outdated ways. 

 

What would be your fix. What are they doing incorrectly from a schematic standpoint? In the run game? Passing game? 
 

Facts are Portland hasn’t had “plenty of talent” for close to twenty years. Anyone that believes they do is either a Portland parent or hasn’t seen teams with “plenty of talent”.

Curious... what are they doing they shouldn’t be and/or not doing that they should be? Also, what do you mean by outdated ways?

Anything but the wingT, at least try some different formations. Some times you need to adjust to what you have to work with. I would prefer our backs to be moving forward instead of sideways. We become predictable and never try to exploit any advantage.

Also the outdated ways are how they handle discipline. A player can be sick, have a dental appointment if they miss practice they have to sit part of the game. Some of these things a player has no control of, so why punish him.

That’s a pretty simple answer, but I would argue that a formation isn’t the problem and I haven’t seen them play. Principles and philosophies could be a different story.

Maybe I'm a parent, maybe a former player or coach. Either way the talent they have is comparable to the teams they face.

Nothing wrong with the wing-t in high school. Agreed, you need multiple formations. Creasey bases out of the wing-t at Oakland with multiple formations.

May very well be comparable to most of your competition. A look at your schedule shows you have been competitive with everyone except Westview. Springfield and TC have outstanding skill this year. I haven’t seen Portland have that type skill since maybe 2002.

That's what I mean by having plenty of talent. I know what D1 looks like, not saying we or many on the schedule have that. However based on the teams we have played, the difference in my opinion comes down to coach ing. Very little halftime adjustments. The defense is decent, but always gets left out there because of a lackluster offense.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
