North Marion’s Willie Offord has stepped down from his position as head football coach the school announced via Twitter on Monday.

Offord led the Colts for four years, finishing with an overall record of 28-18 and bringing the program to new heights. During his final two years, the team went 21-6, with two trips to the FHSAA Class 5A, Region 2 semifinals and a trip to the 5A State Championships where the Colts took runner-up in 2018.

“I just want to thank everyone who supported us from the booster club to all the parents who helped out. And second of all, all the players that gave me the opportunity to be their coach, to follow my leadership,” said Offord. “I’ll never forget the kids out there and I’ll never forget the things we accomplished.”

While Offord has not announced where he is heading next, he says that he is pursuing other coaching opportunities.

The Colts say that a search for a new football coach will begin immediately.

 

 

Really bad news for the Colts. They won't do as well without Offord who seemed to motivate his players more than any other coach before him. :unsure:

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      Nolebull, I'm not sure who you're referring to when you talk about the "jealous" and "disdainful" people.  Bridgewater has put the MNW administrators in between a rock and a hard place.   He basically came right out and said "I've been breaking the rules and if you don't like it, tough sh*t."  The MNW admin folks have two choices:  try to take matters into their own hands in hopes that the FHSAA will go easy on them or, alternatively, put their collective heads into the sand, ignore Bridgewater's public confession and hope that the matter quietly goes away.  Oh, and it ain't going away.

      Sure, but going about it this way will bring more attention to the absurdity of it all. Teddy is going to be just fine given his finances and reputation. The average high school coach who occasionally spends his own money like that, couldn't overcome getting caught helping.  If coaches REALLY wanted to bring about change, they'd have large email chat groups and decide to all come out together, at once, and proclaim that they, too, sometimes dip into their own pocket to help cover expenses. I suppose the schools and/or FHSAA could always cancel the season so as to administer punishments to all the guilty coaches for their generosity.  tl;dr: JUST SAY NO TO COMMUNISM.

      Imagine the jealously and disdain you have to have for someone that brought you a state title, bringing in top flight talent, so much exposure, huge showcase game against a national brand opponent, all while forking out your own money to do it for some punk clowns to undermine you and try and push you out. SMH.    You know in SFL you can get really good or really bad real fast. So I wouldn’t shocked if this all ends in a dumpster fire that kids start to jump ship and they struggle to maintain the standard

      If Bridgewater does get 'taken down,' I'd like to see him take a whole bunch of other guys down with him.  No reason why he should be the singular sacrificial lamb.
