Dayton Football


Bill

Recommended Posts

I know a kid that wants to play for Dayton this year but the coach said that he won't get any playing time this year because he didn't play last year. I know this kid very well and he is by far better than any receiver that Dayton has right now. If they would just try him out they would start him. He is also a dang good defender. Fast and can do them one arm grabs as well. name is (Romeo)

Well howdy Bill,
Tell the kid to get in athletics, work out with them this summer, and work hard to win a spot. If he is as good as you say he will play, but they aren't going to just give him a spot. Someone else worked hard to get the spot they have and he will have to earn one.

Jowell Hancock is a smart man.  Even if the kid never played organized football before, if he shows by his work ethic and skill that he deserves playing time, he'll get playing time.

One thing that bugs me though, if he hasn't played ball in over a year, how is it that you can proclaim that he is all that?

That is the trouble with this next generation --- They all want to start at the top. I say get your butt on the field and earn your spot. This is an insult to those that have been busting theirs to get where they are. By the way, if this is his attitude going in, than he won't last anyway. You have to love the game to play. Those two-a-days are hard work Bill.

    • That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.     
    • Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up. 
    • Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived? 
    • We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
