So one more thought after watching q4- McK QB spotted Brunswick 10 pts via 2 interceptions literally thrown to Brunswick D. No receiver within 20 yards - first one might have been timing route but the second looked like a post, should never have let that go. 10 pts spotted against good team. Ouch
3-2 But that's true he could beat them. I still have visions of N Canton running through them when they had a big lead. And he still was an idiot with a big mouth.
I always wondered why he could beat Massillon and struggle against everyone else. It was amazing the year Howard ran through Mckinley's defense like crap through a goose and Massillon couldn't. And let's be honest Johnson was an idiot, but Massillon made him look good. He was a 3 loss a year coach; it shows how much talent was at McKinley it kept him winning.
An OK to that. We're suffering in Canton from similar circumstances. Oh for McKinley to have a good defense again.
I agree 100%, if they want to put the McKinley name back to past glory days, they have play a schedule. In the big picture, the Fed puts too many “ don’t play anybody” games on their schedule. I hope they can find a candidate to get the ship back on course. When the D2 Massillon Tigers, post an 18-7 rivalry record, since 2000, something needs to change. But like others have said, the days of Canton, Akron, and Youngstown city school powerhouses, is over. McKinley is the last one, still trying to hold on.
Yes, take your average coaching and drop in athletes and start playing upper level talent and you'll be winning more, smh.
Covid happened to everyone else too, just not only Canton.

Sarcasm won't figure out what the problems are in the fed. I personally think the fed is a slightly....just slightly....below average league. What are your thoughts and what would you, personally....do to fix it? If you think it's not broke just say so.
Any problem I see is participation but its probably across all HS's. Football is a brutal sport, my brother has shoulder problems 30 years later from a broken collar bone. Parents are different these days. When I was in youth no parent stuck around for a 2 hour practice, when I coached youth there wasn't a kid without a parent at every practice making sure lil johnny was treated fair. The Fed had a team play in two championship games in the past ten years but by your standards that isn't enough. The Fed has two basketball and two baseball SC in the last ten years. It will get McK more than ready for a run this year as they are loaded. So can the Fed get them ready in these sports but not football? McK has a chance to schedule 4 power houses if they choose, Massillon solid, St.Eds, St. Ignatius and Mentor along with three Fed schools that will be strong and change. This year it'd be Perry, NC and Lake. That schedule would more than prepare them, heck last year or two Massillon has played Firestone, GO and one or two other bad games and it prepared them. SO thats what I got.
Mentor, St. Ed's, Ignatius , rinse repeat until you are ready to leave the nest. Oh I forgot The Tigers!. Whoop on these guy's then you are ready to kiss the Fed goodbye!
I think you need to bless McKinley with your presence as head coach so you can all show us all how easy it is to bring back a winning culture.
I was wondering that as well. Also I know Massillon was looking for a JV game and wondered why mck wouldn’t jump at that since they didn’t play this year.
If the situations were flipped I would be concerned about that. Kids aren’t getting better if they aren’t getting in reps
I have to agree this was an opportunity in a year that was short of chances to play, two teams that I would have been calling after the Medina game were Ed's and Euclid, both good teams would have been great experiences.
I think you should mind your own business, farmer. Where's your winning culture? Oh that's right McKinley is a has been and you belong to a culture of never was. I've done enough in this life probably 100X more than you. Someone that lives in a garbage pit between Massillon and Canton. I pay property taxes in Canton - you don't.
So in your 100x of life you’ve lived more than me, there isn’t enough experience in that life of yours to win games as McKinley’s head coach?
