PAC 2023

That is quite a list if its true. The good and not so good about each from a distance:
France. Knows the program since being a toddler. Played there. Coached there through the ranks. Studied under Koach- balanced a 'modern' offense with the run heavy power I of Koach. Has a NEED to bring back the tradition that the previous coach lost. Wouldnt doubt too that he brings his own son in somehow as i believe he graduates soon. Once here as cosch, he would never leave to another program. Ever. Only negative is hes never been a head coach and im not sure on his education. My vote is for him though.
Boley. Grew up a panther. Always wanted to be in football because of the program. Always wanted to come back to the program. This would be a dream job and final stop for him just like France. Neither would want to go anywhere else. Boley took a hard to be successful at school and turned out some decent teams. Like the panthers, the chips play in a really solid league which makes wins that much harder. Only negative I see is that he was not perenially successful in a similar situation at Doylestown. But bringing the kid home would be nice. Hes younger and would stay a while.
Seeman. Had a great career himself. Knows the game at a very high level. Has coached as an assistant for a solid program up the street, in a town with difficulty. Many props for those efforts. Hes young and ambitious. I sense strong want to win ans toughness. My only fear here is that hed leave, soon. Hes clearly a ladder climber. The panthers would be a quick stop, either through winning and being poached, or losing and trying his hand at another olace to keep the momentum of career going. Cant blame him, but the panther program historicaly has and i think needs a lifer there.
Spitler. The man has paid his dues. Hes learned how to win through struggle, ups and downs, and many different experiences. Time spent at Hartley, Mount Vernon, County, etc. Has paid off. He has solid mentors but im guessing is now a mentor himself at this point. Hr has a silid tenure and is in a grear spot right now. He fits Lucas and Lucas fits him. He would be a long stay guy which is a need at Manchester. I believe he wanted this job when Koach left initially? Only negative is Lycas is a great place? He done so well there. Why move now? Is manchester so much better? I dont see the motive but im not close to the situation.
If this candidate list is accurate, id say thats a prettt good list. If Im Manchester, id be looking for:
1. Guy that can and wants to be there for a long while (maybe this is just too much Koach in me and need to move in, but it is palpable for me and i think the school)
2. Guy that wants to win. Winning is the goal. Thats why the score board is up. The game is olayed to win. Need someine thar wants that over sating something like "building young men". Thats is obvious and you know the best way to do that? Win. Show em how.
3. Good character. Has to have good values and is under control.
4. Tough. Kids have to be somewhat afraid, in a healthy way, of coach. The coach has to embody enough toughnes to trickle down to the kids.
Either way, good luck Panthers on the choice.

#1-3 are a given for any coaching hire from football to cross country. #4 is just a matter of taste.

Usually laugh at colleges that hire "search firms" for coaching candidates, but in this case I think it would make sense. No one in the great New Franklin area has any experience/success hiring a coach and no one in the administration that wants to stay in office until retirement would pick anyone but a guy named France.
 
Budd was late to the party but he is a finalist with one other. Spitler is out. He wanted the job three years ago and applied this time but decided to stay at Lucas.

If this talk about Budd is true, talk about a culture shock going from Jackson to Manchester ...wow! :oops: He'd no longer have to worry about the kids driving nicer cars to practice than he can afford but, well, let's just say he might learn some new words from the "fence patrol" at 'Chester.

Rumor has it the marketing mavens over at the Manchester Tavern have printed "This Budd's For You" tee shirts.
 
So disappointed in all of you.....no reactions to the Seaman and Spitler comment???? You all are designated as losers in my book!!!

On the other hand, Budd might be the right guy there. Not the pressure like Jackson to compete with the band for practice field.....

Thatā€™s why Elmer Schuetz will always have respect among fellow stark county coaches.
He told the Jackson Goliath after school ā€œget the F*#* off my fieldā€
He was fired the following week šŸ˜‚

If my bourbon addled brain's memory is right didn't Elmer use the Wing-T? So add that crusty personality to a wing-T offense and you have coaching greatness and matchups vs Keith Wakefield which would be a level of tuffness beyond our imagination.

Side note - bonus points for use of "bourbon", "Elmer" and "T" in the same sentence.

If you'd have used "Lee" it would have been double bonus!
 
Tonight I will finish off my bottle of Woodford Reserve and say "KOACH" for each shot.

I'll also contemplate PAC expansion options and consider the biggest reaches out there since Belichick drafted Craig Powell in '95.
