I agree. Thanks for doing the work and putting it together.

 

I do think Cov Cath since the series suspension is a different animal and a much tougher obstacle than it was prior to the series suspension.

 

The record versus New Cath and Mayfield is disappointing and should be better. Beechwood should have beaten New Cath this year. They should have beaten Mayfield in 2011. They should have beaten Cov Cath in 2007.

 

Coach Rash needs to find a way to get the team to have more success in these types of games.

 

I think this is a pretty fair and honest post.

You have no clue

 

I have no clue? How do you know what I know? How can you assume what I know? But, this isn't about her....go away!

OK, Z5. I have lined up many of my posts in this thread for you trying to find out what you are referring to when you say "You're not going there are you?" These posts are from page 1 of this thread forward and I have edited them down to the information that I think deals with your comment. Please help me out. Where am I going that I haven't been? I think the posts point out that I have been consistent in my comments throughout this thread. But to try and be clear, here is where I stand on everything.

 

1. Coach Rash is a great coach and does a great job with the kids. This thread was started specifically questioning whether "the regime" needs to change which I took as asking if Coach Rash should be replaced. I adamantly disagree with that question and support Coach Rash 100%.

 

2. Many of my posts in this thread and in others point out that Beechwood has experienced great success under Coach Rash. I also point out that the success is comparable to what was accomplished in the last 6-7 years under Coach Yeagle before Rash became the head coach. There has not been a huge drop off under Rash.

 

3. No one is satisfied at Beechwood. Everyone wants and expects more, including the coaches. There has been change. This year's offense was very different. The defense has been tweaked and refined in assignments and approach to better defend spread offenses. Coaches have changed. This is not the same coaching staff that Rash had in 2006. During the season, I have seen adjustments and changes in strategy and personnel. Coach Rash and Beechwood have not been walking into every season the past 7 years with the same approach and same coaching staff.

 

I think these are all things I have stated consistently on BGP. Yes, I do go overboard in support of Rash because it is easy to complain and someone needs to be vocal in backing the coaches. That doesn't mean I believe it is a beautiful world and nothing needs to change. Those two statements are not contradictory.

 

Should there be an even harder self check this year? Yes, I think there should be. This team coming back next year should be good enough to win a title. Coach Rash needs to pull out all the stops. If necessary, make some hard decisions. I trust Coach Rash to get it done.

 

So, Z5, where am I going that is different than where I have been? Do you agree or disagree with my comments?

 

Oh boy !!! I already read them one time ! That's all it takes for me.

We are not that far apart in our opinions.

Successful change is measured by the results of those changes.

We will see how it plays out ?

As for the "Your really not going there comment"? It had nothing to do with your opinion(s) but rather the fact that you referenced the kids from last years team by name (one name is not even familiar to me ) and that I should or might be intimidated or scared of them in some way ? And you would like to witness this ? That's the way I took it. And I think that's the way you wanted others to take it. Trust me, I don't roll like that. If I want to say something to anyone I will on my terms and how I want to.

 

As for TIGER MOM.....

 

This is a quote from my son. " Dad nobody believes that stuff on there. It's just a bunch of old dads that don't know what there talking about "

 

It's the truth for the most part. But fun too !

I agree. Thanks for doing the work and putting it together.

Really ? Please enlighten us on how and why ?

I've got no dog in this fight. I am a high school football coach. I sat near Coach Rash and his staff a few years ago as we all scouted Frankfort. They were scouting them for an upcoming playoff appearance. I was thoroughly impressed with their scouting. So much so that I went to the game the following week to watch them implement what I'd heard them discuss that night. Beechwood needs no change. Let the man do his job. He does it well.

That comment was out of line by me. I apologize for the insinuation.

I am a believer in two platoon football. Highlands since Mueller did it is better. I think Cov Cath is better. I believe it makes Cov Cath a more difficult team to beat now.

Actually Bob Burnett was the coach in 2002.

:lol2: I know, I know. I graduated in '99 (so the '98 football season), and I had the misfortune to never beat Beechwood's football team in my years at Cov Cath. Having grown up and lived my entire life in The Mitch, that was a tough pill to swallow when it came to hanging out with all of my Tiger buddies. Honestly, I'd love to have included it those games for the sake of record, but I have no idea what the scores were. Maybe I'll do a little more research and see what I can find.

Actually Bob Burnett was the coach in 2002.

 

:idunno: I'll take your word for it. I just pulled that off of the KHSAA website.

 

Actually Bob Burnett was the coach in 2002.

 

Burnett was the acting or interim coach at the time. Yeagle was out on sick leave

Oh, that's right! I forgot about Yeagle's sick leave all together, and misunderstood Jason as saying that Burnett was Mayfield's coach in '02. Mea culpa.

 

Is there a catchy acronym out there yet for the group pushing for this change?

 

PHM, FRR, and TCPR each give me a chuckle,

 

Someone has to have a name for the group from Beechwood. Please share.

I believe they're known as "The peanut gallery"
