First step in COOP bailing from LCC, things go bad and he runs away!!!

[Droopy32]

Cooper is going back to Grove! Lol

[flounder]

LCC is building for the future.....there have been many commercials recently promoting catholic schools and education with LCC as the school involved....this week is catholic schools week, and no better way to get that out there than LCC promoting LCC.....LCC is moving on from the NWC....I feel that they want to be the elite school in the area...just my thoughts....and their facilities keep improving....and all without the state kicking in......K of C is close by for Tbird followers after games......and I don't think they will have a hard time filling their schedule......most good schools want to fill their schedule with a quality opponent!!!!

Quality "opponent" and quality "program" are two different things!

This means that if Cooper is leaving in 2 years....the well is running dry. Scott should have known that the first time he followed Cooper as Head Coach. Cooper uses up the talent and goes to greener pastures. I'm not criticizing...I'm just stating my opinion.

Lol you obviously haven't been to any of the grade schools sporting events. Coop has always said he would retire at the latest when his son graduates (5 years). Nice try though.

Why so jealous Hound Dog. Did Coop not play your kid or did he kick your dog(s). I am guessing that LCC has real talent at every grade level. It is sad that a highly successful coach trys to do the right thing for the program as he nears retirement and all you can do is negatively bash him. I think that your animosity deserves a closer inspection as to why you are so bitter. Please explain.

Et tu, Brute?

Is this normal at the high school level to have a press release announcing the hiring of a defensive coordinator/ HC in waiting?


Has any high school ever officially had a HC in waiting?

this is LCC after all...........the same school who contrived the story about them NOT being kicked out of the NWC
in Lima, high school sports IS LCC..........much like Rush says, "the left leaning media bias towards Obama".......

The grass isn't greener on the other side, it's greener where you water it. LCC had just as much talent before Coop was at LCC.

Please understand some history before you criticize me or assume that I am jealous. In the past when Jerry left a school, IE. Waynesfield, Hicksville, Bath, Grove....the talent and the wins would trend in a downward cycle. That is not debateable. Was it coaching?...talent?....I don't know. But I feel sorry for Scott because he was a great coach at Grove and he will not be able to overcome the amount of success that Jerry had at Grove or LCC unless he comes in and wins 90% of his games and multiple state championships. Even if he wins 75% that is not as good as what Jerry has done.

I have not animosity towards Jerry or Scott. They both left Grove on their own terms. Plus in two years I could care less about what LCC has on their football team as they will not be playing any NWC teams anymore.

I can't quite understand where my statement above would be one of jealousy, etc...... But I can understand you LCC fans not liking me because Badlands and I got LCC kicked out of the NWC.......

Where in my post did I give any criticism or say anything about jealousy? I didn't make any reference to you in any way, shape, or form except to quote what you said. You said Cooper "uses up talent and then goes to greener pastures." I responded by saying that, at least with LCC, there was just as much talent there before Cooper, and they were awful. So, just maybe, Coop has a lot to do with the success and not just the "talent" on his team making Coop look good. Don't be so sensitive.

For the record, I couldn't care less what you or badlands think or say about LCC, so I have no dislike (or, for that matter, like) for either of you.

I am a Grove fan, but the reason Coop's leaving in 2 years is because of the retirement system. He will lose money if he doesnt retire in 2 years. I wish Scott luck but after everything he's said about Coop/LCC I was shocked to see he is taking this job. $ does talk...but I dont blame him because I dont think I could honestly pass up that pay raise that he will be getting.

It also doesn't hurt to have unlimited resources to resod when needed. If the current grass isn't looking good why not bring in new from other places.

Ah well played metaphorically. Though the point of the original post was that LCC doesn't have more talent with Coop than they had before Coop.

the retirement issue was mentioned during the Koza intenrview. a lot of people are retiring for that reason.

Then your point couldn't be more wrong. First off Cooper is a good coach not great but good. Just look at LCC's improvement his first year. That was a result of good coaching. What Cooper is Great at is finding a situation where he can be successful and getting out of dodge when the talent is about to drop off. See Bath and Columbus Grove. To say LCC doesn't have any more talent now than before he got there is the most ridiculous statement ever. Yes, LCC has traditionally had good athletes past and present. Now take the traditional LCC athlete and add in the athlete getting out of the Lima City School mess. You now have the most talent ever walking the halls of LCC. So don't give me that it is all coaching B.S. It's good coaching and being in a good situation of having immense talent wanting to get out of the public schools. Now if Coop was a great coach he would be able to take that talent and do something in the playoffs.
