Lima Senior fired Brett Lee via the non renewal

[polkhigh33]

I hope Lima Sr. administration didn't really believe they were supposed to compete in the TRAC?? And then give them non-league games against Thurgood and Piqua. The only team on the schedule they probably had a realistic chance against was Harding and they lost a shootout.

hard to ever become good when you change coaches that often. Lee was trying to change the mentality of the players and instill discipline and respect. Which was probably the first thing needed for them to become successful.

I really hope they find a guy who can instill discipline, but also has a good football mind. There is too much talent walking around Lima to have a football program as bad as Lima Senior's is.

[cameroncrazie90]

Kids just don't wanna work there, more than anywhere else. Athletic talent is there but execution is awful. Don't have that killer instinct needed, can't make plays. That offense could have been deadly with more time.

Bring back Leonard Rush!

Very interesting interview with Coach Lee on Koza tonight. I imagine it'll be on the 93.1 website later tonight or tomorrow.

If this is true then I guess he didnt get very far. I know of a certain player he kept pestering all winter (11/12) about if he was going to play sr year or go back to his other sport. the player informed Lee that he was giving another sport a chance....lees comment....."we'll you weren't very good anyway". To teach respect, you have to live it.

A wise man told me that it takes years to build a good program, and about 6 months to tear it down. I don't know all the details, but Lima Senior needs to get out of the TRAC. WBL, go independent whatever. You have to give kids a realistic chance to win or they won't participate. You have to grab your jr. high football program, coach those kids up and keep them in the program, two years at a time, then follow them with the next two years of jr. high kids. Lima Senior has too many kids leaking out to LCC, Elida and Bath. Got to find a way to keep your athletes in the district.

If Coop really wants to be legitimized he should man up on this one.

LCC's program was almost as pathetic when Coop took over. As long as Coop is ranting and raving on the sidelines, nothing will earn him respect in the minds of most LCC/Coop bashers on here.

Lima Senior has so much talent and athletic ability walking around the school. They should be the top team in Lima by far every year, but have probably been bottom 2 in Lima for the past 5 or 6 years. I don't know how to turn a program around that is in the state LSH currently is. The culture of both the football team and the school lacks work ethic, motivation, and positive attitude. (Side note: I know there are a number of people in the LSH community that do not fit this broad generalization - I do not mean that comment to reflect everyone in the LSH community). Hopefully, they can find someone who can help the team and kids to reach their full potential. Unfortunately, I think it will take more than just a change in the head football coach. Any coach that is truly going to turn this program is going to be incredibly unpopular at first, both with the players and, perhaps more detrimentally, with the parents.

This is a Lima Senior coaching thread. What does Coop have to do with this. It is clear that LCC is a great fit for Coach Cooper why does his name even come up on this thread

Coop could coach the browns to a winning season and wouldn't get your respect. That said, who would care to have your respect? No one.

Let's get back to lima sr football
