    Lovie's Out

    This is a coaching grave yard by the way in the eyes of most coaches in D1. If that is truly the case then it's a retread looking for a 2nd opportunity (which is fine by me) or a guy looking for his 1st opportunity betting on himself. The later could be taking a huge mistake though when other...

    Lovie's Out

    He would not get a $5 million salary. He has zero negotiating power. He works at a high school making perhaps $80-100K. You do not pay someone 50 times their salary for a complete lack of resume that type of cash. Name a high school coach who has made that kind of jump without being an assistant...

    Hoops Starting

    Basketball in no way shape or form is going to start on time. For 2 reasons. 1) the china virus spike numbers are too high 2) basketball is the biggest money maker for the ihsa. They will kick that can down the road as far as they can to see if anyway possible they can run some sort of state...

    Football isn't happening until the Spring

    At this rate what makes anyone think Spring is happening let alone winter sports, its probably safer now than it will be coming off cold and flu season. This is horrendous

    Worn out sports terms...

    Because people throw around the word culture like it is some magic potion that we do things the "right" way or that the previous regime did it the "wrong" way. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/04/college-basketball-coaches-culture-video

    Worn out sports terms...

    Culture Culture Culture!! A Culture does not mean anything in terms of winning, losing. Every team has a culture. Ohio State has a culture of guys leaving school early, guys at times getting involved in legal matters, guys getting in school with marginal academics, guys talking smack to...

    What Program Should Be Better Than It Is?

    not like those other schools they face. Waukegan has only won 5 game sin last 5 years and has qualified for the playoffs only once in last 25. under multiple coaches. The argument they have 4,000 kids is a moot point, same for Morton etc. Kids in those schools do not play football

    What Program Should Be Better Than It Is?

    Hubbard and Curie do not play against a majority of schools that have feeder programs and a football community, Waukegans of the world have very little youth football and have a transient community of move ins move outs and a high rate of first gen students who have not been exposed to football...

    What Program Should Be Better Than It Is?

    School like Morton, Elgin etc. Schools without feeder programs, probably many transient student population, and not a football community who play in conferences mostly that have those resources.

    What Program Should Be Better Than It Is?

    I really want to know what everyone is missing when it comes to schools like Waukegan. Schools like this regardless of the enrollment are not going to be good in football

    What Program Should Be Better Than It Is?

    Saw them play Naz, they do not have a lot of talent. Not sure how any coaching overcomes lack of talent

    What Program Should Be Better Than It Is?

    Some of these (Elgin, Waukegan, Morton) have zero feeder program, financial backing, or community interest in the sport. Does not matter how large the enrollment is the structure is just not set up for football success . Cannot speak for Carmel and St. Pat's would seem to me Private Schools have...

    Playoff expansion not on IHSA ballot

    It was proposed but the only football proposal on the ballot is basically for things to remain the same and with no districts https://www.ihsa.org/NewsMedia/Announcements/tabid/93/ID/1736/Legislative-Commission-Forwards-11-Proposals-to-Schools.aspx

    Lake Park on IHSA probation for recruiting

    Basically from the articles I read is that since the coach is no longer employed as a coach then the school is just put on notice. If he was still coaching then he probably gets suspended by the IHSA. The IHSA history of penalties is basically that when it comes to recruiting or illegal...

    Harold Blackmon takes the Oak Lawn job
