Try contacting the head coach directly through his manatee county schools email. I'm sure it's public. There is so much I can talk about but to defend coach green, coach green is way better than coach carnes and it's not even close. Brion had way better talent to work with than coach green. You are right, being young is not an excuse, however this team had to first know how to win and play that way consistently. A lot of times we put so much into play calling but sometimes it's just simple as execution. Green puts the kids in the proper situations to be successful but they have to execute. On the Kinnan situation, coach shakir has an open door for joe to come out and he has been there a few times a practice, only a few, but from what I heard he is trying to stay away and give coach shakir space. But definitely if you can help the the program out in any way especially coaching, that would be great.I've written 2 different individuals the day after I asked you about who to contact, at the email addresses that were provided for contact purposes. So far nothing?
And I haven't been critical of the program, I've been critical of the individuals making decisions that affect the program. You see I'll be at Manatee games regardless of who is making decisions, individuals come and go......just like fair weathered fans.......Got nothing against you, yeah you and I definitely see more than a few things differently...............but my MO has never been to be a "Go with the flow" individual, and while I know it typically will cause more than a few to not like that. I speak up when most stay quiet.......like it or not that's just me..............my resume in business in fact is filled with a career of being like this, and it gained me the respect of my peers and the managers and VP''s i interacted with in DC, primarily because one of my talents was the ability to see through the BS and fluff......
Let me ask you something, has the current HBC invited Joe out to the practice field............ever? Has Joe been out to practice on his own with the current football staff, since he got out of coaching.............ever? I'm guessing he hasn't, but yet I know for a fact he's been out to other area school practices.......... why?
Im waiting of the seedings for 7A, but I think the odds are good if the seeding goes like I think it will for Manatee to be home for 2 of the first 3 playoff games........yeah I feel Manatee's chances at being region champs is real good......beating STA however is a whole other thing......
Go Canes Go!
Few things about the game:
*Miami Jackson in as far as the offense and the play calling, reminded me of what SliverKing's powder Puff teams offensive play calling must look like? I swear when the QB with all the WR's huddled up on the sideline in between plays, they had to be drawing up plays right there in the dirt,,,,,,, that was some strange/odd schemed offense!
* Tyreak Allen, gets my game ball for defense tonight, as he was really laying the hits out there tonight and wrapping up. Then on Irone's TD on the KO return, someone from Miami Jackson plastered Tyreak on the return. I wondered if that was going to change the way he played for the rest of the night, but on the next defensive series.....there he was once again laying some major hits on whom ever had the ball......I was impressed.....he took some and got back up and gave it right back and then some! He's just a Sophomore too......wow!
* Ron Harley NG, must be really banged up......I've watched him the last few weeks and he's obviously lumbering.....with shoulder and ankle issues.....energy level is extremely low too
* Devon Stewart DE, could be really really really good! I don't believe he's getting the right kind of coaching to move him to a upper level. He's another one I believe has a boat load of un-tapped potential!
* I've watched the OC all season, and I just don't get him? There are so many things available to him with the offensive personnel Manatee has, but he keeps going back to the same thing......which against the better defensive teams, I just don't see as a offensive philosophy that can hold its own. Last week was the 1st time, I felt he adapted the offense and his personnel to give Manatee its best chance to win the game!
The score was lopsided, but if I were the HBC I believe there was plenty to not be happy about, when you get everyone together for film review.
Hoping its Pinellas Park next week, as I want to see Lawrence Toafili play. He's presently a FSU commit, but I know at one time the Gators were after him big Time......so I want to see this talent in action to do my own evaluation...
Go Canes Go!
gatorman, so after all these years you're finally saying something positive about Carnes, with me not having to defend him, and then you jump on my Powder Puff team? I'm the DC, by the way.
This will be much like Manatee vs Pinellas Schools of old. something like 56-0 or something like that. LT is good but they still run the antiquated Wing T... He has been shut down on numerous occasions this year so I doubt he does much against manatee. Probably wont be his best showing... I think he is a tad bit overrated personally.
Careful... Gmans memory of the Carnes era is much different than ours.. last time I brought up him complement Carnes he got all huffy and puffy about me bringing up old stuff... I tried to explain on this board he simply will never live down his words and disdain towards Carnes as a player... Everyone still on the board remembers... It was THAT PREVALENT to the point it was a topic of discussion amongst men at state games... A topic of Great Humor... I am sure Dan remembers the famous quote. Something about railroad tracks.
Okay I go away now... Glad to see the canes improve late in season and hope they make a run.
Its just a debate, that I now see that neither side is ever going to see differently.......so I just prefer not discussing it................... My mistake back then was allowing myself to be lured into disingenuous debate, that in reality was just fodder for humor in subsequent conversation, I obviously wasn't in a position to take part in with the "Men" at the state games, glad however you men were able to find a consensus amongst yourselves........you'll have to let me in on the "railroad tracks" quote some time or another.......?
Go Canes Go!
