As an outside observer, the Massillon powers-that-be should do everything they can to keep Nate Moore in town. He has turned Massillon into one of the best programs in Ohio and in the nation. Whatever he wants, give it to him.

I'm an "outside observer" as well and I have a better of a chance of hitting the mega million jackpot than Massillon has of letting Nate Moore walk. You can look at his social media and tell that he absolutely loves his job and now that he has the Tigers at the top, things will only get get even better.

Don't expect any changes any time soon.

Quite a feat. And given Massillon's state and national recognition and the success he's had esp. at this moment, I am always afraid some bigger offer is going to come knocking. If any of you are superstitious I can delete that, Lol.

I’d have to think it would have to be a huge college offer.

Credit to Shepas and McDaniels for getting us back together in the early 2000's too.

Absolutely. I'll never forget those classics in 2002! Both are on my YouTube page.

Shepas was doing a solid job as the "chief of performance and athletics for the Youngstown City Schools," but his position was eliminated in 2020 for financial reasons. Not the easiest job in the world with Ursuline & Mooney in the same city.

Yeah I wouldn't mind that either. I hope we continue the series. I feel like the Ed's game this year really was one a couple games that helped prepare for Hoban. Do I want us to play 10 St Ed type teams? Nope, a ;little too much (well it would be 9 since we play McK) I'd like to drop a couple out of state games and play a Glenville, Mentor, Avon, Painesville Riverside, Hudson, Elder (my first choice because of the pit) or any up and coming D2-D3 teams from ohio.. easier said than done whith conference play.. I do like we play Warren, fitch and Mansfied because of the history and they usually are decent.. I guess Glen Oak too because of the Fed... I know most schools and parents may want a home and home, but I've know quite a players personallythat played a game at Massillon and they wanted to play at PBTG and still mention how cool it was...I wouldn't mind seeing one columbus team like one of the Hilliard schools, or dublin, Pickerington teams.....I know I'm really looking forward to seeing if they can get back there.. It is NEVER easy to win a championship... But we have a lot of pieces in place including a stable coaching staff.. Hopefully they take some time to enjoy and then get back after it.. I read in my local paper today Kirtland had 42 players in the weight room yesterday.. Not sure if those were all undclassman.. but still 42 for a D6 is pretty good...

Yes it was 11th thru 7th graders. 9am day after. Actually had weight room open as soon as busses got back to school and some 9th and 10th graders were in there before they went to the community party.

And that's why you're where you are. Tiger has had that program on the right track for years, the kids buy in.. Same at Massillon the kids are pushing iron all year and we've had the same staff for quite awhile now.. makes a difference...Love that bar the stadium by the way.. :Just One More" Best wings I've ever had.

This. Ditto Marion Local, other MAC. *And - last and certainly not least - very few if any private schools to contend with.

I hate to even think about how many titles Massillon would have vs. other publics. Back in the day that was enough. Then Faust ushered in a new era of "catholic football" and we have not faced a public school since, only the #1 ranked private school and also nationally ranked.

Just watched the final tiger talk episode of the season, when you watch it....notice what the kids say when they are asked what "Massillon against the world" means to them. I believe their explanations are a direct result of Nate Moore opening their eyes to the truth.

I checked it out. Nice. Also interesting was Pringle's take on the 4th down pass. To paraphrase, he noticed they lined that kid up back there for the first time and he thought hmmm why? I bet they are going to pass it to him. (He normally blitzes on that play or spies near los). That is football IQ - heady play by him. I'm sure Tyrell thought he was going to surprise us w/ that. He and Fair both are going to be very good college LB's for somebody.

Dunno who in Mahoning/Trumbull might be looking for a coach, but if one of them (e.g. Warren) is interested in spicing things up, they could do a lot worse than calling Rick Shepas to gauge his interest.

Only if they selected Barney or Clarabell the Clown
