I see … any good candidates?

I think so. Time will tell. I just hope they get someone that wants to stay for the long haul that is ahead of them.:thumb:

After reading 3 pages on what a mess the administration vs. football is, I don't know why anyone would want to stay for the long haul.....

I think some people love challenges. And whoever is up for a challenge, well this is the job for them. It can come together, but it is going to take support from all Paris Supporters, not just a few. All the negative talk and bashing saying that the team is bad, has to stop. If that continues then there is no esteem. They are going to go through some rough patches, but atleast they are not on a state longest loosing streak. Paris still has athletes and everyone knows that Paris always has athletes. Paris also has a good feeder program coming up, it is up to the parents for sure and supporters to make sure it continues to move forward. :thumb:

I am not bad mouthing or bashing the football program or the school as a whole for that matter. I graduated from Paris under the Reese/Goins era so I know what the tradition is and I think its a shame that under this new administration things have gone down hill. Until they get people involved who actually care about a program, then it will never get better.

I'm sure there will still be plenty to discuss.. maybe along the lines of how bad they still are...

What's this?

I totally agree with your last sentence.

Goes along with the last sentence of (never going to get better)

I'm just stating the facts when I think they will still be a bad program. I'd love for them to prove me wrong!

Real clever. However I don't think the spring practices helped Paris this past year as they only went 2-8. Maybe they should have just lifted throughout the summer and they could have managed one more win.:laugh:

Ask not what your football team can do for, but rather what can you do for your football team.

Trust me I've done everything I can for this football team other than going to Vicki and saying "Give me the Job." However with the fights we have gotten into, I don't think she'd give me a chance anyway, and plus I wouldn't want to work for her, or against Phil.

So, I am guessing that there will be no spring ball for Paris again this season? I wonder if they are even looking for a coach at this time?

Now Now Now, I never said they shouldn't be allowed to play more then one sport...

Read my post again... if you are satisfied with being medicore or less then average, then so be it....

 

Every sport is a different type of conditioning. Basketball is a training at high intervals because you run non-stop. Football you sprint and stop, sprint and stop. Totally two different types of conditioning. How many basketball players do you see "bulked up"?

They can't have all that bulk that you get from pumping iron. How many basketball players max out each week with squats, bench and clean?

 

IMO, focusing on just one sport when you are capable of playing more is the worst thing you can do to a kid. Do they focus on just math in school for 6 hours? Kids need to experience more in life, and a teen is too young to focus on one thing that early in life.

 

Look at Brian Brohm. He went to state in three sports his senior year alone, but we all know where his bread was buttered. Did it hurt him? Or Bobby Curtis at X, who only joined cross country to get in shape for wrestling. Just happens to be the greatest runner EVER at X, and top 10 in the state's history. He just broke the 4 minute mile last year in college. Or my daughter, who joined lacrosse to get in shape for summer field hockey, and has scored all but 1 of our teams goals this (young) season. :ylsuper:

 

These kids that focus so hard on just one sport, and then fail for one reason or another, are set back in many ways.

 

Also, I see a lot of talk about this happening at small schools, but it happens very often at large schools as well.

I this one has ran it's course.
