How long you got? They have a laundry list of issues. Some of the big problems are that the discipline in the school has been lax for a few years now. Its not the same caliber of kid that walked the halls in their heyday. I know when I looked at sending my kids to one of the 3 Catholic schools Mooney was quickly crossed off the list because of the issues in the school. There are other families that I know that felt the same way. Hiring Pelini isn't going to help the cause either.new coach at mooney, new administration, but what are the problems with this former state power
Rumors didn't get him fired at FAU. Saying he knows more than any coach who has coached at a school that has as many championships as they do is just stupid.I would guess Pelini knows more about football than any coach who’s ever been there. Just because you have some problem with him apparently doesn’t mean he can’t coach. Sometimes a lot of rumors are just that, rumors or at least exaggerations.
No calling someone stupid may be something you should think twice about. Pelini has coached numerous years at a national championship caliber power five conference team. Not knocking any of Mooneys past coaches (even championship years) but to say they have more knowledge than Pelini is questionable at best.Rumors didn't get him fired at FAU.

How is that rationale helping Cleveland St. Joe’s?I would guess Pelini knows more about football than any coach who’s ever been there. Just because you have some problem with him apparently doesn’t mean he can’t coach. Sometimes a lot of rumors are just that, rumors or at least exaggerations.
With all do respect, I cant believe he has more knowledge that Bucci! However, his (Pelini's) high school track record is not good from what i have been told. I have also been told that he is a one year coach and then there is someone on that staff that will be given the head coaching role moving forward.I would guess Pelini knows more about football than any coach who’s ever been there.

10 years ago it was Ursuline that everyone thought was a mess and in trouble
Whoops
National championship caliber P5 teams? Minnesota St, Ohio, FAU and Bowling Green are a far cry from meeting that criteria. He rode his brothers coattails for a few years at Nebraska, sure. Im sure he does know his football, its the character that is the issue.No calling someone stupid may be something you should think twice about.

True and 20 years ago it was also Mooney, at least from a football perspective. However this time feels different to me and that's all I will say about it.
As far as this game goes as I said on another thread Mooney has shown a penchant for giving up the big play. Ursuline has the playmakers to exploit that and if the Cards continue to turn the ball over as well this could get ugly. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Good luck to both teams.
I would agree in the past, the Youngstown area kids for the most part are staying home right now. I don’t think either team will be as good as when Ursuline won 3 straight and Mooney around 2008-2012I know it’s not happening but if they consolidated into one school, that could be a powerhouse.
Tressel wants a Youngstown Central Catholic in the worst way, even going so far as to offering to have a new school built on land donated by YSU. Word is Ursuline is/was game, Mooney not so much.I know it’s not happening but if they consolidated into one school, that could be a powerhouse.

Interesting set of dynamics surrounding the Youngstown Catholic HSs, especially Mooney. The failed attempt to relocate the HS might be too much to overcome. They all but admitted to prospective customers that they don't feel their current location is safe enough, but send your kids and give them your money anyway. Also, anything can happen if and when a new bishop is appointed. If a new bishop is not supportive of the school system and decides to close and consolidate some buildings, who can stop him?
I've grown to dread some of these "Holy War" rivalry games such as this one and Canton CC-St. Thomas Aquinas. They end up serving as a reminder of how far the DoY school system has fallen.
Not really. Kennedy is the only Catholic school in Trumbull County. A lot of our kids already drive 30+ minutes from the northern parts of the county. Doubtful they would double that to go to school in Youngstown. We have little to no kids from Mahoning now so losing them back to the Ytown wouldn't be sn issue. Sure maybe a few from Warren would maybe go there but a lot would still consider JFK for more opportunities that would be available sooner. This is all moot anyway because it is not happening, at least for the foreseeable future. The Mooney money people are going to hold on as long as they can. For better or worse.That would likely be the death knell for JFK. A shiny brand new school with more offerings and resources 20 or so minutes away.
Would the school colors be Red and Green or Green and Red^^^ It's essentially a d**k swinging contest between a couple folks with deep pockets. Meanwhile the students and staff they 'service' twist in the wind.
Maybe before we are dead we will see a Youngstown Central Catholic. Probably not though.
