I wish I could like this quote more than one time.

There are plenty of head coaches that call their own plays, and even now a head coach that calls the defense stilll in Seattle. So there are plenty of teams who have done it and have been successful. The issue is unlike those guys, Zac Taylor was never proven to be a good coordinator before getting the head coach job. So it may not be that it is to much to handle, it may just be he simply isn't good at calling plays. I'm guessing that's a wordy way to agree with me...I think.

If Taylor isn't fired, then how about the addition of an offensive coordinator. My opinion is Zack cannot manage a team and call the offensive plays all at the same time. As evidence in the Steelers game when they were struggling to get plays in quick enough a time out was burned on that final drive that shouldn't have been. Too much for one man to handle in my opinion.

Ah yes we have to go to the freshman level. And look 3 years out for the next varsity win. That's quite the flex! Funny I recall a vastly under rated 24-25 team not winning a game their 8th grade year followed by a modest freshman record and then dropping 50+ points on SK their senior year then eventually taking down the #13 team in the country in the state quarter finals on the road. It was even leaked out that the coaches had no faith in that team. There are a lot of athletes on the freshman team. Several are injured one has a 5-game suspension for deciding to play football after summer practices ended. The freshman will be fine come 2029!

Rinse, Wash Repeat! Yawn.

That's right! You will see it and have seen it year after year

Probably for the same reason they schedule Simon Kenton an easy early win.

Boone Co used to always have big strong offensive lines. The 80's and 90's were a good time to be a running back at Boone. That was always a big game for Coach Ray.

My son ran into one of the walk-ons this past weekend and asked him how football was going. He says he came at a good time. While the prior coach was most certainly loved by his scholarship players. Will Stein seems to be loved by all of his players. I guess Stein being a former walk-on himself hasn't forgotten his roots. That seems to be the mark of a guy who has the capacity to build winning teams. Kentucky is a tough place to do it but so was Indiana.

I agree. It seemed like blockers were getting to our linebackers incredibly fast last year. Maybe with an extra second to read and react they can improve their performance this year. At least that's what I'm going to go with at this point.

Dang! In my head I must have been buying into the propaganda. I was thinking 6-6. This doesn't look good.

Hearing rumors Fryman is a possible get now for the Cats? Any truth to this one?

One of my college roommates from many years ago is an assistant AD at Xavier University. He keeps his finger on the pulse of the sports programs at the University of KY and is also an alum. He says Batt has a good reputation in the industry and thinks it would be great to have a youngish AD at the helm for reason already mentioned above. I'm glad UK has moved on from the prior AD.

I have a love hate relationship with the 3-4 defense. I think the 3-4 is a very good defense but don't think it is a great fit for the high school level. I'm not sure the kids are physically developed enough to handle that defense yet. I'll say this because most every outside LB that has played for CCH over the last 8-9 years has had at least one torn shoulder labrum. I would not be upset to see CCH shy away from the 3-4 as the base defense and lean more towards the 4-3.
