Carlson Hires Giarmo

View Comments

• Sadly I think you're right, not all parents but there are enough to make things bad

• Airport coaching job is a puppet job. The big families there think all there kids will be playing college ball. No matter who coaches, they will get constant grief from parents. No appreciation there.

• We will see how Jack does at the public school level. I do not think he will be as successful. Carlson is a tough bunch. Some will work hard for him, others will not buy into it. Many Carlson kids probably do not even know who Giarmo is. Anyhow, Good Luck. If he can create a champion at the public school level that will be very impressive.

• I don't know about Airport but Huron is searching far and wide. They will hire a good coach who comes with experience.

• 12:37 the part about the great athlete part has nothing to do with coaching. But it an intangible that adds to the resume about the type of passion he will have for the school. Kind of silly as you say just because he has no varsity head coaching experience. Neither did Jack Giarmo. I think it worked out pretty well for him. Jesse Hoskins head coach experience? John Bodner head coach experience? Dan Kalbflesh head coach experience turned huron around? Buck reaume no experience flat rock had their best season in years. Adam Kipf smcc. So I think that is more than half that had no varsity head coaching experience and have all done a great job. So by your criteria none of these guys would be head coaches. And that seems silly to me. Again who else is applying for that job?

  • *varsity head coaching experience, my fault

  • @1244 I said nothing about varsity coaching experience, I said varsity coaching experience in general and I was pointing out the hypocrisy of some Airport "supporters" who bashed the hiring of Chad Baas because of his lack of varsity coaching experience and how long has it been since Mr. Duffy was roaming a sideline. Again I'm just asking questions, I will fully support whomever is hired and wish them the best of luck as a proud Airport grad and former member of the football program. I just hope it's done the right way, if no one wants the job that is understandable that the man that wants the job gets it.

• I would agree, anybody that coached under Giarmo sounds like a good candidate to me. EM

• Wow, whomever only gave an opinion. And I love your criteria, "he's the best athlete the school had ever had" so that makes you a good coach? What varsity coaching experience does he have? All I saw all year and have heard for the last four was how Baas didn't have any experience and he coach varsity football. I'm not taking anything away from the guy but you have to admit it looks a little funny. And "great athletes" don't have the track record at any level of being even good coaches, just my opinion. Happy Thanksgiving to Mr. Schultz and Mr. Half and everyone else on here

• Didn't care for the reality public school opinions on Giarmo. Don't just print the good , print it all.

• Played under Redmond and coached under Giarmo. That's a pretty good pedigree, I would say. Airport graduate and super athlete to boot. What's the hold out for?

• What do you mean? My kid is not going to be in the NFL. You need to play him more.

  Every kid and parent involved in High School sports should be grateful for that time and not continually jockey themselves around for the next level. Other than some bragging, the next level isn't all that great, it just prolongs your career and you miss out on valuable co-op jobs that the kids who aren't playing sports are eating up. Reality bites.
