Rumor

We will see in a couple days

CVC and Donnie Arax?????

As I recall, it almost cost Tee Shepherd a scholarship to Notre Dame.  He got bad advice from his entourage. 

Your way off with that one!!!!! Tee couldnt get enrolled at ND so he went JC in Mississippi then went to Ol Miss.

I remember When Central got a influx of transfer, people said they were recruiting, When All the CN kids left to Buchanan people said they were recruiting and now that kids are going to CE they must be recruiting.. Crazy takes on this type of stuff

Coach Goston has stepped down as the head coach at Memorial. He will still be the Principal.  There was a letter that was sent out.

Coach Arax !!!! Lets Go!!!!

From Goggle he was with the New York Jets the last two years and before that I believe he was at Buchanan

Coached for The Seattle for 4 years or so.... Before that he did the Bill Walsh internship with Denver. Before that he was Fresno State, Before that He was at Fresno City, he did Coach 1 season for CN I Think.

so where exactly has Manning been coaching the last season? He is going from Edison to LV Raiders?

For the last 7+ years he has been coaching in the NFL, Before that he was with FSU, Before that FCC.

db coach at FCC should put in for Edison job

That wont never happen, I think he is Right where his hart is at, And he is at a great place in life and his career

I heard that Edison may have named a HC....an alum. However, not been announced. Did Selma make a decision?

any news on CVC or Parlier??

If its Not Rob Golden or Rick Manning I cant think off the top of my head of a coach who is an alum that has enough experience. This must be the Admins way of saving their jobs...

Saw on Facebook...All of West Fresno and Edison Alum are in the process of trying to remove Edison Principal and AD....

Wow, interesting hire (not saying good or bad, I don't know). Super young head coach. Has he been coaching anywhere?

I think anytime an AD throws a young very inexperience coach in as a Head Coach, Your setting that young coach up for failure. I think they took the easy way out this go around. I get going through the process is work. But a coach who only has a few years coaching experience, and only been a position coach is alot different than beong a head guy. I though the guy who took over last year did a great job of holding the program down

I think the problem is, we have grown adults encouraging parents to have their kids play almost eight months out of the year.(padded football) To me that is insane!! The coaching at that level is crapty at best. When I was growing up we couldnt play football until 12 if I remember correctly. But I also dont like the State telling parents what to do with their kids.

Anyword on any new hires

What do you guys think needs to be done in Parlier to keep a coach and also to improve the program? is the AD and Athletic guy?

Wanted to get some feed back from the coaches on this site and see how what their thoughts were on attending a coaches clinic held here in Fresno at one of these Hotels. Is this something that is needed here locally? I know Us coaches here in the Valley are always having to travel to the Bay or LA or across the country to the AFCA to network with other high school/ JC/ College coaches. Is this something we need here in our area?

Not official yet?

I dont want to name drop, its not professional and not my place, but they got a good one!!

Righetti has their new HC.. I am super excited for him!! great guy and one heck of a coach!!!!! tons of experience....

Edison high School playing RFK how was this game even that close  :D  :D  :D

It was bad!! Very Bad. RK Should have beat them!! Edison plays Hoover next. When was the last time they played two D5 teams ever!!?  Edison had the ball on the 2yd line and elected to throw the ball 3 times then run it on 4th down and got stuffed. Number 1 from RK was killing Edison and their DBs. I will Say Edison along with their coaches are very young!! so there is a lot of upside. Wish them good luck.

Well I wanted to wait and let the dust settle on this one. This resignation was a much much bigger surprise than the Hammond news IMO. I'm sure everyone is aware, but Gio is a top coach in the section/is a great person.
Alright now for same coaching rumors I have herd around the grapevine.

Ross Woods (-120): No longer a dark horse, but a central figure in the clubhouse, this could be a smooth changing of the guard. Woods has authored Buchanans success on offense and I sure bet the kids would love to play for him. He has the inside track to job unless someone is hired from SoCal.

Bernerd Berrian (-110): Oh no, things just got awkward. I herd the Ex-NFL legend will throw his name in the ring for the Bears. He has helped develop this receiving corps and added a vertical element to Buchanan that it lacked before he got there. His big name could continue stock piling transfers and keep the farm system that is Clovis North/the rest of the valley coming. Almost like the NIL of sorts.

Vince Branstetter (+200): This man built the Roosevelt program back up from nothing, I wouldnt be surprised if he could be the man for the job to keep Buchanan going. He could bring in his coaching staff and really take Buchanan to the next level. I herd he might take the year off, but only apply for positions he really wants and would have support.

NorCal/SoCal guy (-150): This job will have a heavy amount of applications from coaches across the state Buchanan has competed with some top dogs lately. Wouldn't be surprised if they could pull a coach from the Trinity League like they did with Jacot.

Bradstater DID not rebuild Roosevelt program..Not sure what makes you think that..
Look at the HC who were there before him..
I'm sure they won more games than he did.

Mike Hobby
Casey Quinn
Antaf Harris NYL coach of the year...
I'm sure the foundation was already there....

On a side note
Mclane is open and Rumor mill has it Edison may be or already looking for a new HC.
Dont fine me a rumors fee!!!!!

The Anthilllegend has some experience in getting noticed, offspring getting noticed, and players that the Ant coached getting noticed.............

#10. Bench in excess of 300 lbs or 150% of your body weight
#9.   Or, rep 185 lbs. a minimum of 20 times (30 x's would be excellent)
#8.   Have a power clean of at least 275 lbs. or double you body weight
#7.   Have a vertical jump of 35" or higher (not as critical for linemen)
#6.   Have race horse legs......."no cankles"......this is critical for linemen!
#5.   Run a sub 4.6 forty (skill player).....linemen, high 4's low 5's.
#4.   Clock off a 20 yard pro-shuttle in the 4.0 area (skill players)... be quick!
#3.   Look like an athlete when you run and execute drills.....have imagery!
#2.   Have the required GPA and SAT or ACT scores (sliding scale)....with the appropriate number of core classes passed.  Stay on track do not fall behind, and stay away from online fixes.
#1.   Produce on the field (hustle every down)........"the eye in the sky never lies"

Do these simple 10 steps......and you are in the D1 club.

This is not really accurate ....Depending on your position a college coach does not care if you bench 185 20 times..lol.. Nor does he care how much you power cling...lol...smh..
the biggest numbers they want to see, is that GPA and your 40 time...Those numbers matter the most.
Believe me, a coach is not gonna go out of his way to ask a head coach, " by the way coach what are players power lifting numbers?'
as a OL guy your height and size plays a big part. and how good are our feet? especially as a OT. your feet better be as good as a DB.
being knot knee is not a good deal, but having a big butt is!!!! Of course stronger you are the better you look, but to say you need to have these numbers to be a D1 recruit is completely false.

as far as skill guys go.... If you can run, you have a chance.

I have coach on the JC level and have had several of my DBs recruited year in and year out.
I know tons of kids who were on very bad teams and got plenty of opportunities. Hell when I was at COS 6-4 was our best year..But we average over 15 D1 kids year in and year out.
when adults start thinking that kids transferring to a certain school, it will lead them to a scholarship.... is why we have kids transferring.  they talk about it around town at these events, then they put the thought into the kids heads thinking it better for them over at the other school. ITS 2021 GUYS. kids dont need to transfer. all they need to do, is bust their ass in the classroom and master their craft and freaking get faster!!!!!!!! college coaches will find you through word of mouth!!!. Parents need to stop doing this!!!!  Also not everyone knows what the hell they are talking about. But so many want to act like they do, but have no clue. Im starting to see a trend where parents are starting to train and in some cases try to become a coach.
