Coach Judy @ Smyrna

Marks is the brains behind that entire operation. They will come looking for him first.
Marks has already coached for the Oakland Raiders and at UD. If he has a desire to move he will get offers. Very smart high energy guy that has that it factor. Gets caught up in the emotion of the game at times. Might be better off calling the game from press box lol Definately a rising star though

Dinardo has a pretty good pedigree don't think we're ready to bail on him. The folks from Smyrna have had a couple of good years but they have to do it for the long haul before they're hall of fame material.
Assume Marks is the guy running up and down the sideline after a touchdown...??
Agreed. Will be back to normal in a year or two...ha. Although with the population boom down there they should be good for awhile, but time will tell.
Here is a model that I use when talking to young guys. The rapid rate to the top was unbelievable:
Del Mar High School (1959) age 23

BDN is an old line coach but a good one. Thing that has always mystified me is his approach to the passing game as an after thought. This season he has a kid that could be special as far as chucking the ball is concerned. That said he always looks to the run first. I guess he grew up in the Woody Hayes era believing three things happen when you pass and two of them are bad. A little behind the times in that department but light years ahead of others that have coached there before him.
@Dove....
10 men in the box..
let's run up the middle...
are you kidding me?

Yes....I got distracted and sent this without comment. I once heard Vermeil give a talk about his coaching career. It was fascinating. With all of his upward movement and success he didn't get to the UCLA HC job until he was in his late 30's.
Vermeil remains to me one of the most interesting coaches of all time.

BDN just isn't going to throw the ball all over the yard. I think he approached like 12-14 passes a game with Gene DelleDonne. The Troy Reeder Sr. year offense they had a 6,8" WR who was clutch and one of the greatest all around athletes in the history of the Big S and basketball player of the year....Brian O'Neill.
People can criticize BDN all they want but he will retire with like 300-350 wins. I think he had like 4 titles at MDT for D2 and 4..so far... at Salesianum.
As far as Smyrna kicking Sallies butt. Good for them. You are what you do. The Sals better show up against Caravel or they might get embarrassed again.
BDN will throw, except the bar was set very high with MTown/Wm&Mary/Pittsburgh Steelers/Tampa Bay Storm QB and Atlanta Falcons Scout Mike Potts.
As good as Gene was for the SALS, MidTennState TE Gene never had the accuracy or arm strength that Mike had and Gene was a damn good High School QB.
Obviously, FB is based on the run philosophy with BDN with a sprinkle of blocking and tackling, you want him to throw the rock, you better be as good as Mike and Gene.

Bummy will be sitting on the MDT side toward the South end zone. I will be wearing a Notre Dame hoodie. Please stop by and introduce yourself. I think all of you guys are great. Peace..
Ches- no doubt BDN is/will go down as a Coaching legend at least in my opinion. But he does need to make some changes-its time for him to coach to his talent and runnin' the ball w/out a Reeder is not a winning recipe....QB has the arm and let him throw it once in a while-I ain't saying pass/pass/pass.....just throw it some more.
And it would not hurt for him to make some changes on his staff. At the end of the day-Salesianum does not win because they have the best Coaching staff-they win because of sheer player turnout.
I haven't seen MT play but if the D is as good as everyone is saying running the Backs up the middle is gonna get them nowhere fast. Josh Patrick is big yes but he's no Reeder.
It never hurts to have 1000 boys but they are not all jocks. There are probably a few potential Nobel prize winners in the student body. Where was the program for the 5 years before he got there. They had the numbers. They had the talent. They didn't win.
As I pay to get in I may second guess a call once in a while....... but he is the man I want to coach my HS FB team.
