I am waiting to see the jobs that open this year. They seemed to ba a bunch last year. Was last year a normal turnover rate or abnormally high?

getting all 3 teams back up and running is his next priority.........if he can get that in place the program will start to move forward again..........this click i warned you folks about decimated the entire program.........top to bottom........its going to take a few more years before 96 will be a real challenge for good teams..........

Einstein tried to revive the board to what it was like just a few years ago when any thread he created would get 5000 - 8000 hits, but even that monkey couldn't keep the fans interested. Times have changed...

sadly this board is a shell of its former self. but i'm afraid hs football is declining in interest as well. i know attendance has been down the last few years at every game i've attended. people seem to want to do different things on friday nights now and football is getting such a bad rep b/c of injuries.

about 5 years ago in the political room here ( they shut it down ) i told those people.........enjoy high school football all you can now..........it is about to change.......high school football lives and dies by small town friday nights..........make no mistake..........i knew then that many of these small towns were on the way to becoming poverty stricken slums and when that happened pride would go out the door.......and when pride in the school and town went, high school football would go with it.........NAFTA.........when you shut down 70,000 plants and industries, all small towns get gutted.......football is just another victim.......along with many other things........
