I've followed Stow last few years. Knew a few guys over there. Brecksville's 4 years before Poder they were 8-2, 7-3, 8-2, 4-6. 27-13 overallYah, I meant that your source was wrong. They definitely had a rebuilding year and struggled, but he had helped turn the program around.
When Poder arrived they went 0-10, 7-4, 7-2, 2-8. 14-24 overall
The only good years were when they had a future Big Ten QB. I cannot say much about program numbers or anything like that but record wise I wouldn't say he turned anything around. At best he kept them where they were which isn't a bad thing.
