My LPD Forecast

[ QUOTE ]
Your right I don't get it.... By the way this is the first year Burton has had 49 players. Normally it is around 25-35 on a good season.. And what do you mean Appy had less caliber athletes, Travis Turner (If I remember correctly he could carry any team in the LPD on his shoulders when he played), Travis Clark, Jamie Jessee, any of those players could have played for PV or any team for that matter.. Those Appy teams used to beat down of PV, Gate City, the Old Lee High, not todays Lee High.... What approach would you suggest?

Norton didn't beat any of those teams regularly like Appy. I think I made my point.

Thats cool and a good point, but you don't have to downgrade a good coach and run him in the ground like he doesn't know what the h&^% he's doing... That was the only point I was trying to get across.

Jimbo wasn't coach then either....Buster Large and Paul Hale were..... The whole point of this thread was about Jimbo's bad coaching.

Never downed him. Just thought one of the big 3 could've done better.

You may be right, we will never know, but What would Jimbo do with 80+ players on his team like Robbins and Colobro, Hmmm, What about that... Alright, I give up, you win.... I'm out

I was just giving my opinion. You have yours. No argument here, just an opinion. Don't leave mad!!!!!!!!! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Its all in good fun, just opinions, [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beer1.gif[/img]

I played under Buster, Hale, and Jimbo. Three Coaches in four years is pretty crazy. Each with their own style of play. I think we could have won a state title under Buster, but Appy had our number year in and year out. Then along came Hale. He just got a bad deal taking over for Buster. Burton just needed a quick fix. Then Jimbo came in as headcoach my Sr year and we made it to state. Got our [censored] handed to us lol. But that year we ran out of the I formation. That was something most of us were fimiliar(sp)to. Having played that in Pnut and some in JV. Also Jimbo was the defensive coach for many years prior to that. Anyways, look at what he runs now compare to then. He knew what had then and what he has now and has made the adjustments. You also have to consider the compettion up there is alot better then it is down here. IMO I think they have caught up with us and then wave goodbye as the passed us lol. Also alot of your D1 schools are like the D2 schools here. I would also venture to say that alot of those D1 schools up there play a few D3 and maybe a D4 school. That helps alot I think. Here a D1 school may play 2 or 3 D2 schools and maybe 1 D3. I doubted but it's a possiblity. But you can't beat up a coach who is has been to the state game 3 times. How many coaches can say that around here besides Robbins and Turner? Very Few I bet.
