Who will replace Ed Fry at Meigs?

[sandstorm23]

So you're saying a .500 coach in football (the sport where he played in the NFL) should try his hand at being an above average basketball coach?!?!?! HAHA.

[itsme]

In all seriousness, I would love to see Bartrum be the basketball coach. I really think he could do both football and basketball. Why not? He’s obviously knowledgeable in football and basketball. Why not let him coach both? It’s what would be best for the kids.

Knowledgeable has made him a below .500 coach. He needs to focus on football!!!! But lots of people at Meigs thinks winning 4 games a year is a sign of a great coach

[itsme]

Sign him up for the baseball and wrestling coach too. If you're a pro athlete (long snapper) then you must know everything about all sports.

Would you be serious?!?! I'm not saying it would be easy to do basketball and football, but if anyone could do it, it would be Mike Bartrum. I really think it would be best for the student athletes of Meigs to have his influence and guidance over them as young men. Does anyone know if Coach Bartrum is interested in doing both? I certainly hope so, for the kids' sake.

Could not agree more with these posts. He's a great man and a proven winner, who just happens to have NFL experience and that goes a long way. Hire the man already. Do it for the kids.

so a 29 - 31 .483 is a proven winner!!!!! Has only won against one team with a winner record but it was 2 times

While it is funny reading all of the ridiculously over the top sarcastic posts and people biting by commenting on them, can we talk about people who might actually take the job? Coach Bartrum is so deep into the football program (he truly is) there is no possible way he has any inkling of wanting to actually coach basketball. He may have friends he encourages to apply that he could use on his football staff, but in no way does he want to sacrifice from football to coach basketball. So who are actual people who would want this? It looks like somebody made their mind up on who's coming in already though seeing as how this hasn't been posted anywhere, not even within the district. Whatever the case, I just don't understand how losing Coach Fry benefits the program at all at this point.

There are so many other factors to being a good head coach than a Win/Loss record, 80% of that has to do with where you are coaching and the cards you have been dealt.

BlizzardMan, I think you are correct. I have a hard time understanding how losing Coach Fry benefits the program either, Coach Fry was recommended by Mike Bartrum in the beginning and then......... I too, think they have already made up their mind due to it not being posted. And if what I’m hearing who they are interested in is true, it will be interesting. But, you can’t believe everything you hear and rumors are certainly not reliable!!! Just because he hasn’t had success at one school doesn’t mean he can’t have success at another!

Just because you don't support him doesn't mean others don't. So stop telling us why we are posting. I know why I'm posting and it's not sarcasm. If you don't want Bart ("NFL") coaching basketball just say it. But leave us to our own opinions. You certainly give yours whenever you want and cry when anyone questions you, so allow others to give theirs without criticism. He's a proven winner, so hire the man already.

You're trying to hard. Obviously you have a big problem with him, and so what if you do? I just think this is hilarious! You are seriously a good troll.

It's funny, I praise the guy and you criticize me and insinuate sarcasm cause I can't possibly be serious about his abilities, but you accuse me of having a problem with him. Whatever your beef is with him, or even if it's just your small man complex, you can leave me out of it. But I do agree that your efforts to trivialize his accomplishments are hilarious.

I don't have a problem with him in all seriousness. He's actually a very nice guy. He let's his opinions and desires be known, but you can't argue with the fact that the new field wouldn't exist without him and he is 100% in for the football program. I mean 100%. I do think he's wrong in this particular situation about Coach Fr. He does have a son that plays so he is entitled to an opinion, but I don't see how Coach Fry hurt the program at all.

Yeah, and nothing can be done about that. So stop dwelling on it. They have a chance to replace him with an even greater coach. So hire the man already.

See you are good. Now you got me sucked in. It's not as if he even wants it anyway.

I too, think they have already made up their mind due to it not being posted. And if what I’m hearing who they are interested in is true, it will be interesting. But, you can’t believe everything you hear and rumors are certainly not reliable!!! Just because he hasn’t had success at one school doesn’t mean he can’t have success at another!

This makes it sound like it's Hill or Drummond.

Hill would be great. Drummond is a mistake. Can't conduct himself off of the court.
