Nothing personal against coach Filtz, but he just seemed overwhelmed while at Canton McK. He wasn't going up against DIII and DIV teams, as the Big Red typically plays, and the Maple Heights football schedule is not exactly filled with solid DI and DII programs, back then and now. If Dan Reardon had stuck it out in Canton, the McK football program might be further along. Actually, the Bulldogs haven't had solid coaching staffs since the 1990s. In recent years it consistently shows up in "big games" where they get out-coached and out-schemed. With all of these alleged "star transfers" coming in it will be interesting to see how they develop and contribute to advancing the program. Twenty years ago, and prior, any coach who had three consecutive losses to Massillon, including an embarrassing shut-out, along with an unacceptable loss to GlenOak, would be fired. But everyone knows that A. Hall isn't going anywhere, so it is what it is.
