It is the only reasonable option for Meigs. Jay also coached Meigs star Weston Baer all through elementary and junior high. And his son will make a great addition when he comes with Jay. Can't wait to see the impact he makes on the program. Great things to come at Meigs.

I'm still holding out hope for Bart. He has to at least be on the staff. Proven winner, well liked by the players, and worshiped in the community. Who can match those qualities? I'll answer that, no one.

So do you keep track of all parents who yell from the stands? I have been to a lot of basketball games over the years, and I can say I have heard more than one parent yell their two cents worth towards the young men playing in the game. Moreso, I seem to hear a lot of ex-players (alumni) giving their advice as well. Since he would actually fall under both of those areas, I see it would make sense to be invested in the game emotionally, and thus becoming vocal. But the crew that wants to place him under a microscope, and criticize his every move, in my opinion, shows more about the person pointing fingers. Whether it be jealousy, hate, or just a negative person. I will never understand why people belittle the ones who genuinely try to give back to their community. It is not just Bartrum and Meigs, this stuff happens within every school and any person with a little notoriety. Be thankful someone is giving back, Lord knows he doesn't have to.

This would be the same crowd that with critize him if he was doing nothing. For some people, critizing is something they enjoy doing. If they complain enough about someone else, it make take attention away from their own shortcomings and lack of ability to give something back to the community. Bottom line, there is a reason it is hard to find good coaches now days. It takes a special person to coach and to do it well.

Fonzie wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 10:20 am I guess that is my point, take away the fact of the NFL background, he is then no different than any other parent getting emotionally involved during a game. Maybe jealous was a poor choice of words, but without a doubt, people enjoy singling him out on a regular basis.

To be honest, I know him, have worked with him (never in coaching), and have witnessed his passion for the county and Meigs Local. If people want to nitpick him over everything, I personally believe you're obligated to acknowledge the good as well. Otherwise, those posters do come off as jealous, critical, or shortsighted.


But now to the topic at hand, Any news on interviews or leads. I haven't heard much for a couple weeks now. Seems quiet.
