I would hope so too but I seem to remember a very vocal group that insisted on a person of color when Reardon left…..what were they called? the barbershop gang? Do you think it had something to do with how you got Wattley?
Don’t try to take us back to days gone by. We are moving forward. You can stab back there if you want.
A new voice is sometimes needed no doubt but dont expect that new voice to be some "one of the best coaches in the state " type . Bunch of people want a change but the change they are asking for may not come with a major upgrade at HC .
Let us worry about that. I swear, I think you are more concerned about Mckinley than we are. Gee whiz!!!!
Whats that supposed to infer? My investment in Mck athletics goes well beyond yours and probably 99% of the people in here . Some of you just dont want to accept that the modern day Mck is a completely different entity than was the " where champions are made and success is a tradtion" era.... just like democrats who think we are still living in the JFK era today....JFK would be a republican today .
All the assistant coaches got fired today.. Coach Hall has a meeting tonight bout tonight bout his job he’s going to get fired
No.
Yes. didnt he win or at least get to a state championship coaching Akron Buchtel
You're basically correct as to the atmosphere which surrounded the program after Reardon left for Youngstown. Actually, it was somewhat similar after Ron Johnson was fired. Many who have any history with Canton McKinley would hope that more practical and unbiased thinking would prevail, should Hall be dismissed. Regarding Ricky Powers, there has been mixed reviews on his coaching abilities. Don't believe that Powers bring the overall experience to oversee a football program which must begin developing a disciplined, fundamentally sound and winning culture at the 7th and 8th grade level in Canton. The Akron City School system is a genuine train wreck. Just my perspective, though you and others may disagree, which is fine. Peace.
Not sure of his exact record but he had some VERY impressive teams at Buchtel. Last I heard he was at Brush but don't know how its gone there.
Many years ago. In recent years, however, Buchtel has struggled to beat many of the Fed League programs.
He did have a few good teams/years, but that was quite a while ago. Powers is no longer that "up & comer" head coach that he was back in the 1990s. Nothing personally against the man, whatsoever. I just don't believe he would be the right hire at this point in time at McKinley.
Hello Hilltop24, I appreciate your posts! Please excuse my lack of internal knowledge in reference to your statement about Hall and his assistants being fired today/tonight. Is this alleged action being driven by the BOE or the Superintendent?
Well. Get the applicants ready. Hall is gone.
Not needed.
Get in the game!!
Ron Johnson
