[Coach McGuirk]

FIFY

You officially know nothing.

I personally have no idea whether Howell will turn out to be really good as a DC or not.

I am trying to think of Bronco's hires and which ones have turned out to be good to very good. Grimes comes to mind. Maybe it is because of the talent, but I will put Poppinga at least in the good category.

Who else?

Sounds like Howell is probably our next DC.

You officially know nothing.

You're right.

He's been overwhelmingly successful with the recruits that he's brought in. And as his guys have started coming back off missions, the product has gradually degraded to the slop we've watched the last three seasons.

All while the ones that were here when he became HC and were brought in by Crowton didn't go back to back in the MWC while brooming the place or anything.

Solon and I have discussed that both coaches (KW and Bronco) may have a control issue. Too many unqualified coaches are promoted from within. Even Norm Chow was somewhat of a known quantity to Kyle.

It gives them control over what's happening, but offers very few new ideas that keep a program innovative and alive. I think Bronco wants a yes-man where he can essentially dictate what happens on defense, but who takes care of the details so he can do some of the head coaching duties he's let go. Maybe not a bad thing in this case, because he's a good DC. But could be really problematic in other places.

That makes a lot of sense.

Thank you.

No, I was trying to give a pointer to blitz, the self proclaimed king of smack, a pointer on the art of "subtle smack".

lol!

[The_Douger]

Thank you.

If you say so.

Howell went 4-16 in two years at Ben Lomond, but Bronco loves him and apparently is a tireless worker. Sounds like the coach version of Riley. What could possibly go wrong?

[Indy Coug]

LaVell had a far from stellar record at Granite HS.
