Huron League Thoughts and Questions

View Comments

• I know 1 guy never makes up a team, but since Justin Busch, one of the MLB on the Chiefs has been out with a torn ACL, the Chief's defense is all over the place. There is no way Grosse Ile would have been able to go up the middle so much if Busch had been playing. If you look at the games when Busch was playing, he confined those players so that others could make the tackles-now that he's out for the season-look what happens to the defense!

  • NAH!!!!! The team is not made up of only him. Huron did really well on defense against Airport and where was Busch? On the sidelines on crutches. It had nothing to do with one kid's ability, it's a team thing

• Also, I dislike how you can reply to a post and slip the reply right in under the post u r replying to. In a thread this long nobody will see it.

• All coaches know they still "have it" when they step down. Do you think Lauwers all of a sudden thought he could coach anymore? He just realized it ms time to give the next guy a shot.

• Will Marc Cisco get a little nudge so to speak towards the door, example Bobby Bowden.

• He should be wise enough to know how selfish he is being by staying this long. Let the next guy step in. He is waiting and has been for a long time.

• Chris-we were talented and extremely discipline. We were taught that from Cisco. Heck-we were taught to knock someone on their ass and help them back up. Looking back we also had one hell of a coaching staff. Maybe the old man is losing some fire but he should definately have the option to leave when he wants to.

• Listen folks, here is something I have learned over the years being around athletics.

  It's called the parent's credo.

  When you win, it's the kid's fault and when you lose it's the coach's fault.

  Let's use GI as an example (sorry). When the Red Devils were in the midst of their losing streak back 4 or 5 years ago everyone wanted to blame Bodner. They said he couldn't coach. Now that he is winning, you hear that it is all about the talent. Guess what! John Bodner is a good coach whether he went 0-18 or made it to the semifinals.

  Let me tell you something else people. This isn't exact but when you have good talent 9 times out of 10 you do well. When you don't have talent 9 times out of 10 you don't do so well.

  Now are there great coaches that win wherever they go? Absolutely! Just look at Al Romano from Tecumseh. He was a winner at Erie Mason, Adrian and now Tecumseh.

  Cisco is a good coach. Great? Who knows! Good? Yes! Did he have the talent when he won his state title.? Heck yes he did and I'm sure he would admit it.

  I know I brought the subject up but I think Cisco should be allowed to leave when he sees fit. Obviously just my opinion. I'm sure Jefferson has nice kids just like most schools do but they are just down a little talent wise in football this season.

• There might not be much enthusiasm from Cisco but his assistants are good coaches and good motivaters themselves. It probably is time for the old man to retire but who knows. It could be another 5 years so to the kids and parents-make the most out of it. It'll be what it'll be. I'd like to know who's in line to take it over? Does anyone know?

• A little worried about GI vs Huron this week. Last year Huron was the toughest team for the GI JV to beat. With most of those kids moved up to varsity...should be a contest.

• Wow, a lot of people feel really strongly about Cisco and the coaching staff. As a former coach and former parent. I can tell you that a good staff has a balance of experience and youth; Vigor and calmness. Age does not make a coach unenthusiastic. While I don't know Cisco, it is my understanding that he is a fine coach. I think those of us not in the program need to back off and let the Jefferson school district work this all out.
