• From what I’ve heard Baas got the heck out of AP and teaching altogether. Parents had Facebook posts and a twitter account spewing negative rhetoric. . Funny how they act so supportive on here for their team and coach when some of those same people still have kids on the team. The AD hired brother and father then inserts himself as OC. all a coincidence? I’m sure AD and family had never discussed this. As they say on ESPN, C’Mon man!

  1053 likely an administrator at AP.

• Every post is an Airport post. I put my 2 cents in on Airport comments because that's the school I'm associated with. Trust me I would love for the Airport comments to stop.

  The Troll

• Bring back Baas

• Troll-is it just me or does it seem like you have to throw your 2 cents in on every post? You can lay low every once in a while—it won’t bother us!! But I’m sure you’ll just “keep on keeping on”!

• Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of Airport people take a lot of these posts way out of context? Every Airport message is so blown out of proportion. Keep the panties from bunching up people. Just remember-rainbows and butterflies!!!

• Thank you 7:01
  We have a great Coach in Jim Duffy and the boys love him. It’s a select group of parents that really need to lay off and look at the big picture! Everyone wants their son to be the superstar and it just doesn’t work that way. The Coaches are doing their best with the team that they have. Airport has come a long way this season. A new coach was in no means a promise for an undefeated season. Coach Duffy is building on what he has. Please.....let these boys have the last two weeks to play some high school football and do the best job they can. Lay off the coach-he’s one of the good ones people.

• @7:01 - you are wrong on multiple counts. In 60 years of Airport football, there have been 3 alumnus who were head football coach. Jim Whiteside in 1960's, Chad Baas (previous coach) and Jim Duffy (current coach). Over the past 30-40 years the coaches have included Darrell Mossburg Sr., (Bedford grad), Steve Molnar (Riverview), a seond Mossburg stint, Eric Redmond (Monroe), and Adam Barber (Ypsilanti High). The last 30 years has seen the most sustained success in program history, primarily in the Redmond era. In the case of the current coach, the most qualified applicant was selected, and it was a choice between 2 very qualified alumnus who had both gained extensive and valuable coaching experience at other Huron League schools. They both wanted to return to Airport and lead the football program at their alma mater. Admirable goal. If you are going to make broad brush statements about program status and history, at least know what you are talking about and be accurate.

• Wing T is a great offense, Full house t is a great offense, double wing is a great offense, spread is a great offense, and I is a great offense if you have the joes to make it work. Airport has went from 2 1 win seasons to having a great season. Doesn't matter who his alma matter is.

• A culture change isn’t replacing one alumni for another who runs the exact same systems. But like others have indicated, it would break the AP code to actually hire the most qualified. This has been going on there for the past 30 years.

• As a riverview fan I agree with you 1:46. I think there is no place for ANY berating of any coach or team or player. This is H.S. football. Let them have fun and point out the positives. No place for negatives in H.S. football. H.S. football is suppose to teach these boys many lessons that will help as they become men. All of this berating hurts those lessons. Enjoy the blog and if you don't have something positive to say then don't comment.
