I also see from the purplesfootball.com Coach Griffith has a son:

 

Owen Griffith

Position:OLB 6'3 225 SR

2013 All-State Candidate

 

Senior next season or senior who will graduate in May?

Good luck to Coach Griffith.

 

To the bolded, I am not sure I would consider an assistant from Bowling Green a big name hire. Bowling Green won championships before he was there and will win them after he leaves.

 

I am very surprised BC hired an assistant coach not named Kyle Niederman. I could see him getting passed up for a current head coach or an assistant who had previous success as a head coach, but not just another assistant from somewhere else.

 

Ask Trinity, John Hardin, Christian Co., Warren Central and St. X what it's like to try and score on BG...then ask BG people why BG's defense has been so good for the last 12 years...then you'll find out that you didn't just get just another assistant from somewhere else.

 

Phenomenal hire by Boone Co.

Just curious. IS his son coming with him and if he does is their a waiver through KHSAA that will allow him to play this year?

Since they refer to him as a 2013 All-State Candidate I can only assume he is a junior right now.

They don't even need to go that far to ask how hard it is to score on BG, just ask Cooper. It was very tough!

 

With that said, Boone last season had a pretty decent defense already, they did allow some points but they have a pretty nice foundation to build on. This should make it very interesting on how much more they will improve. The offense is what really needed an overhaul so should be interesting also to see what kind of OC they bring in. If he brings BG's OC with them the 6A schools in this area could be in trouble down the road.

If he moves with his family he will get a waiver and play for Boone.

I am speculating but I assume the son would be coming and I can't imagine the KHSAA standing in the way of a coaching move.

I'm thinking so there isn't a conflict, they should let the son play for Cooper his last year :clap:

There is lots of precedence for children of coaches who change programs to get waivers.

Thanks, a move like this is as legit as it gets.

Great hire by Boone!!! IMO had to go outside the system, hiring someone on staff and keeping the rest of the staff doesn't change anything, even if off/def scheme changes. It could be interesting to see who Jeff and bring in with him to coach.

The bold text was not an insult or jab. It was a statement of fact. He was an assistant. I was not discrediting his ability to coach. That said, Bowling Green has not been destitute of talent. The coach puts them in the right place, but kids make the plays on the field.

Now you need to worry about getting those spring practice dates moved!

I can only assume Coach Griffith and Jon Smith have discussed that at length and have a plan in place.

My first question is "will he bring the BG offensive system with him"?
