He has a Physics degree. He employed string theory.

Brian Weinrich!! Though this isn't a surprise selection, it is a wise one, which will maintain the continuity of a winning program and a tradition built on the shoulders of all the many players who preceded him.

Nope. It has none of those things.

That makes perfect sense. :lol2:

Seeing as the school is not run by total idiots, I think you guys can stop, um..."worrying."

Although he didn't say Weinrich was the selection.

And the award for Best Use of Color in a Post goes to.......

Why wouldn't any program want to use a proven system that works? They wouldn't if they already have a proven system that is far superior. I was trying to be tactful, but that's the honest truth. I don't know whether he would try to change the system, but it stands to reason that any new coach is going to bring his own ideas and his own ways to his team. That's his right as head coach. But like I said, if it ain't broke, no need to fix it. And no, if he takes what we have here and "Boyles" it away, that would be like trying to reinvent the wheel -- maybe it works and maybe it crashes. But hiring from within maintains the continuity of not just a system, but a culture that has produced undeniable success. If you promote someone who has literally grown up immersed in that system and culture, it seems much more likely that the train will just keep on chugging down the tracks.

No need to feel defensive. I mean that Boyle had/has a system and Highlands has one. I don't think the powers that be in Ft. Thomas will see any need to switch from the current one to that which Chuck Smith might bring in from Boyle County.

This says it perfectly. Absolutely no offense to Chuck Smith and all that he has accomplished, but if Highlands wanted to do things the way Boyle County did them, they would go with Coach Smith in a heartbeat. The big blue engine ain't broke, so there's no need to fix it...or replace it. Prince Brian Duke of Woodfill will most certainly ascend to the throne this coming season. And all the kingdom shall rejoice and make most merry!

They were absolutely 100% rivals for a few years. But let's not over-analyze the joke. :lol2:

They have been rivals.

Wouldn't this be like the Redskins hiring Tom Landry?

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

I have no scoop at all. Just an overactive imagination.
