Not sure why people were trying to push him out. Was he not doing a good job there? He seemed to be putting out good teams lately.

Good for Coach Lickert.

Offered what? The military academies don't give sport or academic scholarships. The coach has to be interested in you and you have to be a qualified candidate. A Letter of Assurance and congressional nomination will get you in. After your in then you can play the sport. Best of luck to him.

Hergott is a talented kid who can be a 2 year starter. Hopefully he isn't wasted for 2 years and follow the status quo....

Those are some good "talented" football players there. Congrats to those players. Proud to see that the "talent" is being recognized.

Ask all you want. You continue to apologize for BW and you dont bring any facts why he should be kept on. You want to challenge what everyone says and try to play “gotcha”. Until you have sat there at games home and away and seen the badly coached football that us fans/alumni have seen than your points are mute to us. So go play gotcha in another thread because that seems to be your motive...

This decision made by the admin is going to hurt in other ways as well. The education foundation is going to hurt from lack of support from the people who donate money to watch the games from the cafeteria. I see a down turn in support there because people aren’t going to show up to watch badly coached football. Game attendance will drop which will hurt in revenue. Annual booster money will drop which will hurt all sports.

All of us alumni want what is best for our program and we do have a right to express our concerns of the current state of Highlands Football. Some support him and some don’t. What the biggest crock is that the spineless admin currently in place didn’t have the guts to take the alumni concerns into consideration. They just sent the emails directly to BW. That put him into panic mode in which phone calls and emails were made to current players and parents. Then parent(s) sent out emails to other parents to have their sons write emails to the admin to show support for BW. Now aren’t these the same players who he says aren’t talented enough to win..

Great Post!

Glad you are amused... Did you watch any highlands games this year?

You are...

That's because highlands was playing in December. Now with early exits in November they are getting started earlier.

Over Qualified...

I am sure it was very offensive minded....

And he doesn't even teach at the school...

Dale was very visible during weights and conditioning.

WOW... SPIKED BLUE KOOL AID is being served

Would be a waste of time to apply. These coaches know now they are untouchable. I had a certain coach tell me in August that if this season goes bad than they are out of a job next season. He said he was even "fine tuning" his resume. But now with having a horrible season these coaches are going to be there for a lifetime. The admin doesn't have the guts to hold anyone accountable.

I guess so...

I see better than I hear.. I have seen terrible coaching for HHS for the last 3 years. I have seen leads lost in 3 games this year, I have seen a 1 round playoff loss last year. I have seen a coaching staff not make adjustments at half time, I have seen a coach be hired last year who is a offensive minded coach with plenty of coaching experience not be used to call the offense, I have seen a defense give up an average of 47 points per game, I have seen 10 running clocks on HHS, I have seen BW's teams not prepared to win, I have seen players in positions that they shouldn't be in, I have seen to many personal fouls in games, I have seen undisciplined football, I have seen plenty to believe that the current coaching staff isn't fit to coach Highlands Football.

I agree. To many outsiders putting in their input who have no clue...

That's the million dollar question. Seems lately the talent is being wasted when it get there.

We understand very clear so don't insult us on that.. Talent is there and has always been. Plenty of talent in the lower levels as well. We have 23 state championships so being "top dog" will always be in our favor. We who have worn the uniform and own a state ring just demand more out of the current coaching staff. We want the players to experience what we all have experienced. We take pride in Highlands Football, its just to bad others with in the administration don't.

We just have a higher standard. Sorry you don't understand that or appreciate it.

Amazing how there are people who sat in the stands this year and felt like there wasn't anything wrong. That's what I am seeing after parent(s) are sending out a group email wanting people to send emails to the admin to save the coach. I saw the come back wins by LexCath, Simon Kenton, South Oldham this year. I saw the running clock games, I saw the 1 round loss last year at Louisville Doss where that team wasn't even prepared to win, I have seen a lot the last few years that is an embarrassment to HHS football. Not sure what those people were watching. The blue kool aid being served in the past was pure. The blue kool aid being served now has been spiked. In no way am I attacking the integrity of BW. He is a great person who takes a lot of pride in HHS and Ft. Thomas but he just isn't fit to tend the role of being the HHS Head football coach.
