September 8, 201016 yr I don't know the details, so I won't pile on. All I can say is thank God the newspaper isn't here to report when I lose my temper. Same for me! Dumb mistake, error of judgement. But he's human like the rest of us and received what I think is an appropriate punishment. I'm sure he's taken a good lesson from this and can hopefully get back to trying to turn the Dayton program around.
September 8, 201016 yr Needless to say it looks like this could be a very long season for The Greendevils. For the players. Probably a short one for the coach.
September 8, 201016 yr For the players. Probably a short one for the coach. If they were going to fire him, I would think they would have done so already and not bothered with a 3-game suspension. I would assume they thought this out before they issued the suspension.
September 8, 201016 yr If they were going to fire him, I would think they would have done so already and not bothered with a 3-game suspension. I would assume they thought this out before they issued the suspension. You could be right. On the other hand, it may have been the easy decision while they decide long term if he's the right guy.
September 8, 201016 yr Either way you spin this situation he was in the wrong! Zach's first year Dayton went 8-3 and hosted a home playoff game, however many players from that team and in the city would say that team was Stephen Lickerts team. The Dayton program was headed in the right direction and has went down hill since the 07 team. Its time for a change if not now then it will be to late. Also i have heard that a frist year asst. coach had some things to say the were very negative to the kids, however if Chad Montgomery gets to the run the team the players will rally behind him. I have heard many of the kids state that they want him to be the head coach, the team has been split all summer they must come together and play as a team if they do they will win as a team!
September 8, 201016 yr I wish there were more facts. Speculation is only going to lead to an uglier situation.
September 8, 201016 yr Sounds like he is fitting in just fine down in Dayton! What do they punch out in Independence after a tough loss? Cows?
September 8, 201016 yr What do they punch out in Independence after a tough loss? Cows? Yea a big Ribeye steak is always good!

It sounds like the players at Dayton need a lesson on who is in charge of a football team. If players want to backtalk coaches, act in an unsportsmanlike manner, or any other negative context, they should be punished with conditioning, lack of playing time, and eventual suspention from the team. Numbers don't equate to wins, and they certainly don't equate to young men learning the lessons that the sport of football should teach you. It is not a rare thing that young men would prefer not to be under the first adult that has ever attempted to institute discipline into their lives. It is human nature.
September 8, 201016 yr Wow. Where have I been? How long has Dayton High been a school? And where is Taylor High? Is that Taylor Co.?
September 8, 201016 yr Wow. Where have I been? How long has Dayton High been a school? And where is Taylor High? Is that Taylor Co.? Taylor is along the river in Cincinnati - near where the ferry is.

However, it's tough to teach discipline and self-control when your coach goes Tyson on a bus window .
