I have no skin in this game, but I have watched all three coaches along with many others the last 15 years from afar. You seem to be defending Pav, Pro, and JI a lot here, which is just fine, other people have that right too! I am not a fan of participation trophies by the way, and you are right it is common sense that you should make sure that you are vetting coaches to get the best possible candidate at all levels. The point I was making was it that everyone has to start somewhere. Whether it is in Pee Wee Football, Middle School Football etc... Yes, you should work your way up through the ranks to earn an interview, and yes, the school and people interviewing should vet the applications to choose the BEST candidate for the job. I think this is what people the people in this forum are upset about and it is good to see people in Canfield have a heartbeat on a center piece of their community. Something just doesn't seem right here though, you are defending Pav, Pro, and JI like you know them personally which only leads me to believe that (1) either you have coached or are coaching with one or all of them, (2) you are related to one of them, or (3) you hang out with one or all of them quite a bit. To say, "Pro, Pav, and JI would be disappointed in some of the BS that some of us are spinning" or " Pro is a great coach and would probably slap some of the people running their mouth on here for what they are saying about Pav or the guy they hired. If you disagree, you probably don’t know Pro as well as you think you do", leads me to believe that you are close to one or all of them. So, I am just going to take a shot here and say the Canfield school district would be very upset if one of their coaches was on a forum making comments at others to speak on behalf of the program or defend the program, THAT MY FRIEND IS A BOLD STRATEGY, UNPROFESSIONAL, EMBARASSING TO THE PROGRAM AND THE COACHES YOU DEFEND. All of which I am sure if these coaches found out it was someone close to them they would be truly upset that one of their own got off track. If you truly want to honor these 3 gentlemen, then you would get off this forum and work your way up through the ranks by getting YOURSELF ready to work with Pro wherever he goes, or work with the new coaching staff in Canfield, so that they can continue to have great football in NE Ohio. YOU CAN HAVE THE LAST WORD BECASUE THAT IS YOUR M/O. STOP EMBARRASSING YOURSELF, THESE COACHES, AND THE PROGRAMS!! END OF RANT!!
