    Jags904 reacted to gatorman-uf in Bolles has a new head coach   
    Jacksonville traffic is the weirdest thing to me. Whenever I travel there on 95 or 10, the traffic is usually ok. You get off on JTB or University or Beach and all of a sudden there is just random stops. No rhyme or reason, just 100s of cars in a small area (no accident, no police). 

    Orange Park area is even worse though. Everybody rides on the same darn road (Blanding). Yuck, I would sooner drive all the way to Fletcher across Jacksonville rush hour traffic than to ever drive to any of the Clay County schools during rush hour. 

    There will always be the balancing act of how far will people be willing to drive vs how "nice" of schools do we insist on. I think for Fleming Island, PV, Nocatee, those adults made those decisions. "I want very nice house, no riff raff, and nice schools even if it means that I have to drive an hour each day." I don't think they are going to change their minds in the short term or at least not enough to cause Bolles to have their admissions office flooded with people willing to pay that cost.

    Judging by the look of Bolles teams over the past 5 years, they have had vastly less talent than in the past. I think them getting any athlete in is not a reality.

    I got out of coaching when I got out because of the changing attitude in school administrations. My wife loved me coaching and wants me to get back into it. Not a chance, especially with the transfer anywhere epidemic.

    Jags904 got a reaction from FL_HS_football in Transfers Are Really a Dade/Broward County Problem   
    Bingo. If you get 12 good quality HS football players to transfer in a year, then you should be making a deep run. 
    Imagine if just your average HS football team got 2 good HS OL. Not D1 guys either, just two reliable players. Nothing else could change and I guarantee that team goes from a 5-5 team to a 7-3 or 8-2 team. Now imagine adding the same thing with a QB & RB, two more WR’s, two more DL, two more LB’s  & 2 DB’s. That’s a team that may win a state title.

    Jags904 reacted to Ric Flair in Why Are So Many Kids Flocking to These Positions?   
    Go to any opening day of youth league (or Freshman ) practice and watch the coaches.  The HC will say to his group:  'Anyone who wants to be a wide receiver....go over to Coach so and so.  Anyone who wants to be a running back....go over to Coach so and so...   Anyone who wants to be a QB.....go over to Coach so and so.  Anyone who wants to play defense....Go over to Coach so and so...   The Offensive Linemen group rarely has anyone left, or it s by far the smallest group.  
    I place the blame on the weight controlled football leagues around the country.  The big kids often are too heavy to play youth league football, and many can't start playing until they are a Freshman in HS.  By this time, it is often too late or the players are way behind the learning curve already.  My experience says that the big boys really don't start coming into their own until their junior or senior years.

    Jags904 reacted to 561_Fan in pahokee football   
    Pahokee has a patient administration. they stuck with B. Thompson through some rough years. Walkes, probably would still be the coach if he didn't embarrasses himself and the school/program during the Cocoa game and it seemed as if the team was just drifting with the wind. Glades Central is the program with the short leash. It seams they have 2 seasons to win or some changes will be made.
    I think PK will have a new HC and OC from what I've heard, mostly from players. Haven't spoken with any admin or adults associated with the program...so don't quote me!

    Of course there are issues (as is to be expected) but this was a very solid job by the FHSAA. 
    I think we will see some more lopsided scores (4A for instance, nobody will be able to go with Carol City) but on the whole, we have more equal classifications. 8A north got better, 7A south got better, 6A north got better, and 4A north got better. Excited for the upcoming season, hope everybody is back to work.

    The school is becoming an IB/magnet school. Therefore, they are reducing the size of the school and kids who can’t make the grades are being forced to go elsewhere. 
    I have already seen the student demographics change.

    Think about 3A for instance:
    Bolles, Cardinal Gibbons, Cocoa, Jesuit, and Carol City. All teams that even on down years would run roughshod over 3A now.

    Jags904 got a reaction from DisabledAccount in So something i noticed with 7a and 8a champs   
    I think the two biggest factors are the district strength & team experience. If you’ve got a tough district, then why not play a tough team and then schedule the rest easy? If you’ve got an easy district, then you should schedule 3-4 tough teams. Same goes with an experienced vs inexperienced team.

    The real problem is we have so many transplants who aren’t from here. They aren’t bought into their community. 
    My college roommate/teammate was from western PA. He was from a very football rich town and that they filled the opposing side bleachers and had standing room only for regular season away games. You had to buy tickets early for playoff games (home or away). Then the town took a crap ton of charter buses for the state title game in addition to those who drove. Why? Because it was a true community. They knew each others’ kids, parents, uncles & aunts, and grandparents in one way or another.
