2024 St. Ignatius Football

I do not see how Franzinger hangs in here at HC much longer at this rate. It’s malpractice by the school to continue to allow it.

Has the program ever tallied double digit losses in a season before?

Ignatius program needs a major overhaul. There’s just no other way to put it.

In all my years I never would’ve bet on something like this happening. I genuinely feel bad.

Even in the 90s during the dynasty years and beyond, Ed’s was still able to grab a couple of wins and play some hard fought games that they may have lost, but they could still be proud of. Sure there were a few blow outs they suffered too, but Ed’s was never even as close to as bad in the 1990s as this Ignatius program has been in the 2020s.

Funny you have been posting a lot while Massillon has been on the up and up. Hope to see you around when things shift and you are on every teams’ thread wanting to talk about football. 😂
 
Hopefully the administration will finally start to see that daddyball and throwing ex-NFL players at the problem doesn't work. It's beyond pathetic.

For your sake, I hope Mentor wins next week. Because if by some miracle Iggy pulls off the upset, all the entitled douches will be able to point to it being steered in the right direction. It's not.

A complete overhaul with a strong HC that can curb the daddyball epidemic is the only fix.
 
Ignatius wants and deserves zero sympathy. We are talking about a wealthy school with advantages over almost every school in the state.

It’s now a matter of choices coming to roost:
Kids choosing other schools to play football
Choices in leadership
Choices with scheduling.

The only direction is up but that is going to take better choices and probably years.

And I remember being shocked at a 5-5 or even 4-6 season. At least then the following seasons were better. 1-9.
 
Mentor's reward for a 5th place in points last year was a visit with Ignatius in Week 11 a year ago, which they lost. I am sure Mentor has no delusion of automatic win

That mentor team wasn't as good and that Ignatius team was on an upward trajectory, relatively, heading into playoffs. Big difference
 
I don't have the patience to go into detail, but I'm watching the JV game and think I witnessed one of the worst play calls I've ever seen backed up into their own end zone.

I'll try. The Cats went empty set with the QB standing in his own end zone. Of course there's a heavy rush, so the QB has to get it out immediately, but there was no quick option. He gets smeared by 2 defenders and should've been called for grounding in the end zone.

Sorry, but after your kid graduates, I feel the same for you. I see a lot of new posters come in when they have kids, make strong statements and then disappear. Just my thoughts from being on this site since 2001.

No need to be sorry. And congrats on being on this site since 2001, I’ll be on for at least one season after my son graduates, a lot of the freshman are like my sons. IMO you being on this site since 2001 👏🏾 doesn’t make your fandom or opinions anymore valid. But again congrats on being a 23+ year member, what a great accomplishment. Looking forward to watching the Hoban- St. Edward game this afternoon.

I did have to laugh at your response! You’re right, no validation. I just see a lot of posters that pile it on when teams are up and down. Have always respected what Coach Ginn does and appreciate the OSU pipeline. Hope you have a great post season and even better things next year. I know you have fired a lot of shots for next years Glenville team and hope the haters don’t call you out too much. 👍

Thanks, appreciate the well wishes and I send them right back at you! And no shots fired or wins guaranteed from me (not that it would mean anything) but a lot of people around the program feels next year’s team has potential to be special. If I were Coach Ginn I would opt up to D1 but I’m not so I can’t, lol. And we love St. Edward as a family, my son shadowed and tested and I would have been very happy if he would chose St. Edward. Go win another D1 championship!

Talent acquisition machine needs repair!

Even with the injuries and youth of this Ignatius team, they still have talent that puts them among the top 5 teams in R1. I know they haven't played like a top 5 team for most of the year, but they're better now than they were in weeks #4 and #5 against Hoban and Walsh. The Ignatius failfull see the glass as 1/10th full and it is, but that could change. The sophomore QB has developed enough to give them a plausible passing game. They still have Washington at RB and Haddad is back at WR. Even though they don't seem to know how to use them. They have the best young corner in Ohio (IMO) in Tristen Hughes. Their position players, while young, are not overmatched compared to the rosters in the rest of R1. If they could just get rid of the headset brigade on the sidelines, and get back to basic CYO style football, they could be a headache for any other team in the region. Both X and Football North were quality teams that are on par with the top 5 in this region. Ignatius should have beaten both if they didn't make so many head scratching mistakes.
