Starting to hear bad things. Sounds like this is starting to look like same old song and dance, just a different band. They screw this up after letting MacFarland go, and things don't go good, look out. The fallout should include decision makers heads.

I agree Fox should be the CLEAR cut front runner, the young man from Mapleton 2nd, and the current dc right behind him, no offense to the young man who is an alum, but no head coaching experience should eliminate that idea. If you hire one of the first 2, then bring back the dc in same capacity, that gives you 2 quality coaches to start the staff.

Potential teaching jobs is definitely the hold up. Things do not appear to be going as planned. Maybe they should of specified what jobs were open before accepting resumes? maybe list we have a substitute bus driver position open for anyone wanting to be our next football coach....wtf

Usually when this process has went this long, it may mean they have went cold on the top candidate for some reason. and have to regroup to plan B or as was the case the last time they were doing this, plan C. may be a hold up in finding a open teaching job? I'm not sure. But my guess is that they are in plan B mode. And you may not be getting the guy, or guys that were the top choices.

wallacefan might be right Norwalk may go Norwalk here and go safety vs. hiring the beSt FOOTBALL coach? Another wasted opportunity to hire the right guy? Im hearing they are backing off of fox because of skeletons. he was good enough for a Christian based school but not for good ole Norwalk? Don't get me wrong I hear a lot of good things about mahaney, he's done a good job with little talent, but 7 straight playoff app. that's a pretty good resume.

does anyone KNOW the timeframe for the hire? I would surely think that it would be done by the middle of January. weight room activities are already going on. This in my mind already is a done deal, with ad just doing his due diligence. The most interesting thing will be who fills out the rest of the staff. a lot of names being tossed around we'll see soon enough.

Norwalk fired the coach who fixed the thirty+ year dumpster fire Norwalk called a football program. Due to a couple lean years as the talent cycle went back around and they didn't like his methods. Five years from now when Norwalk is back to being a full fledged member of the cupcake brigade. They'll miss Mac and remember the good ole days when Norwalk used to win. There was not lean years in talent actually. Last years group of seniors were very successful their entire career's. They were best in league from jr. high on. Talent just has not been getting developed the way it should. can't keep making kids try to fit your system instead of making your system fit kids. Need to have plays , schemes in place that fit the talent that you have. Not much in the way of adjustments ever. getting beat by inferior opps. on a yearly basis, and really never beating a single opp. that you shouldn't have beaten. And always blaming the kids for the failures, and I don't ever recall hearing we need to coach better, but have seen several quotes in the media where the kids have to get better at this and at that. which may be true to some extent, but I have seen several examples of where the coaching needs to be better too. As far as "fixing" 30 years of losing, I think a kid by the name of Turner and his classmates had a lot more to do with that than anyone else. That was as good as a 3 year run of talent that has come thru the halls of NHS. And to be honest last years sr. class was right there in talent also. He has done some good things here, but its time to move on, too many disgruntled kids, parents, fans for this to continue.

Or maybe St. Paul just ran up against a very talented Minster team?... Do you honestly think playing Huron this season instead of one of the other teams on their schedule would have had a major impact on the 33 point differential? Such an ignorant statement. They beat their first 3 playoff opponents 146-27. Pandora Gilboa was beating (12-2) Liberty Benton in the 4th quarter. Pandora was a quality team. Seems to me that St. Paul has things under control pretty well, most teams would kill for a 13-1 season. Great season Flyers! I think the point is that SP never faced any adversity during the season. When they got down last night 20-7 you could tell Flyers knew it was over for 2 reasons. 1) they hadn’t played from behind all season. Yes, I know Mapleton was up but nobody thought SP was losing. 2) SP was just physically dominated by Minster. Nobody on their schedule even remotely matched what Minster brought. 7 divisions is too many. Different topic I know St. Paul definitely ran into a very good football team, there is no doubt about that. And there is no shame in getting beat by a team of that caliber. My point is that they don't see enough good football teams in the season that will somewhat help prepare them for when they do a see a good football team. Lets be real they didn't play a good football team until the final 4 this year. You can say whatever about PG but they are not a traditional final 8 team. This division is a joke in my book anyway, there should only be 6 divisions, its all about making money, they will spin in that more teams get in so its better, and I somehow agree with it I know that's contradictory, but its too watered down, too many teams traveling 100+ miles (see wayne Trace) only to get their buts handed to them 56-0 or whatever it was. Is that really good? St. Paul is a good football program, with coaches that know how to coach, but they can't simulate what they are going to run into at this point in the year.

beating up on Plymouth, Monroeville, south central, new London, st marys, and the likes don't help st paul when it comes this time of the year. minster is a real football team. id like to see st paul beef up their schedule even if it means losing some non league games. huron was a great game for them.

this division is extremely watered down this year. I think they should go back to 6 divisions but ohsaa wont give up the thousands of dollars involved, money money money. Its just not a good product until you get to the final 8, or this year the final 4.

just from an un bias perspective. Shelby is an elite team, Armstrong is an elite QB, with a few above average players around him. I seen very few weakness's in their team. they have a huge athletic o line, a nice play caller of a coach too. Bellevue was able to throw the ball with some success, so maybe that's how you attack them? I thought Bellevue played a really good game, the tide turned when #1 took the 2nd half kick-off back, that was pretty much the ballgame. Bellevue is very well coached, they were just outmanned. Not sure if Shelby will be able to pull off an upset over big red, but I give them a chance to pull one off. btw Armstrong is a hammer on defense too!

Nasonti always gets his kids peaking at the right time of the year. I'm not sure if they have enough to knock out one of the best if not the best Shelby team of all time, but I'll bet he has them in the best position to try and get a mammoth upset.

that team Turners senior year under-achieved in no way shape or form was clyde better than them. And that in no way is a slap at that Clyde team, Clyde is Clyde. His Jr. year they got ousted by a TC team that had no business beating them. Beating Keystone, western reserve, ect. does not impress me much. This year 2 wins both coming at the expense of D5 downtrodden programs Willard and Margretta. Last week couldn't beat a team that had something like 7 or 8 starting positions not in the game. last night running wildcat 3 straight plays after flipping the field and getting stuffed, then on 3rd and like 19 sticks with the same darn thing? C'mon man.But the tale tale sign of all, is just ask any random senior on the team their thoughts of their coach.

Only in Norwalk does it seem like a good idea to run out the only coach who's had success in the last 40 years. Be careful what you wish for. You mean the coach that was fortunate enough to be at the right place at the right time, and be in position to be the head coach when the 3 best classes in NHS history back to back to back came thru NHS?

I thought Norwalk played hard, just to much to overcome after starting qb went down with shoulder injury early in first quarter. I think Norwalk would of put up a lot of points on that defense. I cant see whippets hanging with sanduskys speed next week.

Quiz was definitely what kept the pirates going. Zigler was skating on thin ice when quiz came along and bailed him out. Gonna be alooong year without the quiz.
