Willow football coach

If he doesn't go win every game this year in the Down SCA then something is amiss HAHHAHHAAAAA Just for you DEW Just for YOU

Some of you guys are still not being fair to the former coach. Guy had them in district championship 2 yrs ago and you all were celebrating with wins over grove and mtn view and you had a dang parade going to ava. But yes the community has been asleep and needs a new direction....

I think the former coach from the outside looking in was solid. And the risk of getting a worse coach was very possible but in this case WS scored a untouched TD.

man ur really all bent up about this aren't you bonehead? I've been off the board for several months an its just like days of our lives it's been like 7 months now. I don't know if that's accurate on the months but I just guessed. appreciate all the past coaches have done. they've all worked ther butts off trying to be successful. ther is alot of different ways it did or didn't work. guys have all been good men. wer hoping this hire will be the right fit. wish the past coach all the best an his wonderful family. yes wer all very excited about this hire why wouldn't we but who know what will happen...

It's ok to have different opinions you all, that's what the word discussion is all about. Differences of opinions will keep this message board going but please no fights.

Bonehead I said a prayer for Schwalm last night that his new job goes well. He is going home and I've also said a prayer for Coach Wyatt coming home (if any school board member changes their mind and doesnt make official if the story is true I will....nvm). One thing I haven't done, nor I bet none of us have and I will tonight, is say a prayer for those in Kennett who are now looking for a head coach so late in a school year. Football wise they should be just fine as many were saying they could go all the way this year. Whether or not they do now that Wyatt may be gone and how many youngster's lives are influenced remains to be seen. This also makes 3 coaching hires we have had to go through in June (Fris leaving may have been in July, can't remember) and I don't wish that on anyone.

Coaching is a high variable and multi-factor job. And in truth being a good guy and likable really has nothing to do with success per say. A lot of nice and big character guys bounce from job to job with minimal or no success. And sometimes real arse hollieee O's win and win even though a lot of people have a issue with their demeanor.

And sometimes good guys and good coaches just don't fit the community and school for various reasons. And to some degree I think WS has been a victim of that scenario. I really thought that Coach Fris a former Ary/Wyatt player and assistant coach would have success as WS he knows football. But coming in after Perkins he was night an day to his approach it appeared and many of the Players and Community didn't Cotton to his hard nosed style. Lowe who followed A&W had almost no chance of success even if he walked on water(he didn't) because he wasn't A&W and so his chance of living up to those expectations was small, add in the drop in talent at WS and Yikes why did he even take the JOB? Heck I can't even hardly Recall Heggeman other than I know WS was pretty devoid of talent at that time and the A&W hangover hit it's peak. Perkins was a OK X&O guy but again I'm not sure how much he inspired the WS program I think he got that vibe and was smart to move to WP to learn a bit more under Ary. As far as Schwalm goes I thought he put in a strong effort and appeared to be inching forward, but with that said it's pretty clear that he was not beloved in WS and the confidence in his ability had diminished. And in truth if the Community and the Players have a over all lack of confidence then perception then becomes reality and his moving on was for the best on both accounts his and WS.

Now we will See if Wyatt can bring back the Glory of WS hay day as the HC. Clearly he knows his stuff on the offensive end and is a astute tactician of the game in general, and nobody works harder than Joel Wyatt NOBODY. His approach will not be soft or New school unless he has mellowed and changed his approach, so he will expect excellence. The players will have a adjustment period I suspect. This year will be interesting in the SCA to say the least. This should make the league stronger.

Kenega has continued on MV program with nary a lost flap of the eagle wings.
Swofford is as good as they come and has his program rolling.
Webber is the Dean of the SCA and one of the best in the state.
Spittler is a up and comer and with Acklin a even tougher foe
Sloan does good things at Houston and is no cupcake
Barnes is a complete unknown....
Rodgers has fielded some competitive teams and moving forward

So the SCA as a whole should be better. While we don't always have the talent that the Big 8 produces do to enrollment size and the Private school they added. Without a doubt we are competitive a lot of years.
