Welcome back! You're off base like usual though. Let me break it down for you, not that it matters, nor would you be able to rationalize what I type.Red Rider Nation;1815201 wrote:Calling out coaches from neighboring communities?? You should look in your own backyard! Yours is once again proving I was right all along. Hearing from many in the community that the boys have quit on him again. What's the new excuse since the "we are playing teams twice our size" one is no longer? I will await your negative and non value added response.
For starters, find where I've said that moving to the PAC and playing smaller teams would solve the problems. Bet you won't. Dropping to the PAC has helped Orrville get an extra win or two, but there was never enough talent and work ethic on this year or the last few years of teams to win 8-10 games. I know you think 8-10 wins should happen every single year, but it's not logical with a dwindling population and playing teams from NEO.
These are two totally different situations and circumstances. First, I never suggested that Zuercher be fired like you've suggested and campaigned to have happen to Davault. If Matt decides to stay and the administration keeps him, good for all of them. He's a solid coach, but I would think if he ever would want to move on, he'd hurt his chances by sticking around for a couple more years if the future isn't very bright as suggested by a reputable poster like Beast. I don't think he'd move on, but you never know. The situation of the past few years haven't been very kind to him. Another drastic difference in situation, Southeast Local hasn't had near the transition in size and economics that Orrville has been through. Those numbers greatly effect a school and it's athletics when it's as drastic as the one Orrville has seen. More stability in the talent pool over the last 20 years at Waynedale compared to Orrville.
If you would like a solid numerical argument to support answers, lets look at things since 2012. Be honest, if you've thought Orrville would win more than 5 games in any season since '12, you're insane. Even this year with the new schedule, they are a .500 team (IV loss hurt the chances of 6+) and won't really be much more than that until 2 years from now when they should have a chance to win 8 or 9 with two solid classes of talent back to back. (They'll be very young, but have some talent back for next year. I don't expect more than 4 wins next year depending on Non-League schedule.) Waynedale on the other hand, should have won more games than they did in that same time frame. They should have never been 0-10 in 2012. They weren't much more than a 2-3 win team, but to win 0 games that year was underachieving. 2015 they were 7-4 and made the playoffs, but that team was capable of an 8 or 9 win season and possibly an additional win in the playoffs if they get a higher seed. This year, if they go 0-10, it'll be the second winless season in 5 years.
I can't say that Devault has ever had an 0'fer team let alone 2. A reasonable person wouldn't be able to say that any of Devault's teams have greatly underachieved either. You can make a case for 1 or maybe 2 of Matt's. Has Orrville lost a game here and there that they probably shouldn't? Yes, probably, but that happens every now and again at all levels. Has Orrville won a game or two that they shouldn't have? Yes. Norwayne this year as an example. Waynedale? Maybe, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
