I will just be the first to throw out the name......Mike Cramer from Marion Local
before anyone else does.....almost a perfect storm so to speak and after what happened
last night in that area with all that rain.

He is someone who could come right in and jumpstart this program back to the glory days
of when Spike Berry patrolled the sidelines for the Hornets...Coach Cramer has the
experience to come in with such short notice and get the kids believing again in themselves...
So if you're out there..........RM

Yes rocket, took a position assistant principal/ad @ Napoleon.

[Dakota Green]

Maybe Andy Shaffer should consider going back to C-R giving that success with the Columbus Grove program has not materialized. If I remember correctly he was doing well at Cory-Rawson when he thought that the Columbus Grove job would lead to greater heights. Just hasn't happen at the southern part of Putnam County and I just wonder how much patience the fans of Columbus Grove have at this stage of the juncture. It is just almost impossible to get a coach to take over this late with Aug 1 just around the corner.

the duster is correct- Meyer took an assistant principal/ad job at Napoleon HS.

Good plan if Palte was still in the school system.

roarintiger1 you are correct Grove football has become laughable in just 2 short years.

[cameroncrazie90]

I say nobody in their right mind leaves for this position. Chad Hirschy gets the job as he was Josh's number 2 in everything.

[evilscotsman]

Before they seek a new coach, they should seek a carpenter to repair their visitors side stands. Those bleachers are almost as run down as their program.

I do believe that the talent level the past 2 years isn't even close to when Palte won only 7 games with a 4 year starter at QB. Why do you think he turned his back on Grove? Just like Cooper before him...he got out because the talent wasn't coming and he saw "supposedly" greener pastures at LCC. That is to be seen.

[Common Sense]

Yikes, looking for a football coach on May 30th!! Not good. The troubles at CR continue.

Everything you said is true. But I think you left out the part of a poor Superintendent had something to do with Palte leaving. To bad our current Super didn't start a year earlier. It is like the 1980's all over again. Talent level is down but poor coaching and not getting the kids in the correct position will cost you 1 to 3 wins a year. I'm sure you remember the Denny Shanner and Howard Foltz years. We got another Shanner or Foltz on the sidelines. Nice guys but not good high school football head coaches. Hopefully the administration will realize this and get lucky enough to get the next up and coming Mike Fell to turn things around.

I thought Palte left for "Family" reasons..are you saying he lied to the players and the community?

You sound pretty close to him maybe he could use you on his staff at LCC.

Your logic is skewed..it's ok for coach Palte to have a decline and blame talent, but to not give Coach Schafer a chance to show what his ability is because you know after 2 seasons that he's not a good high school coach? You admitted that the talent was less than what Palte had just a year before he took the job. Do you realize that Fell had 9 wins after 2 seasons and Schafer has 7? Thank goodness you didn't have a say in Fell staying or going after 2 years.

The defensive coordinator was Def. Coordinator at LB for 10 years and is on this staff but he's not a good coach? Do you realize how foolish that makes you sound?

Mike Cramer might be the answer but he will need a teaching position.

Your logic is skewered.

Does that mean it has a spike going through it? Or did you mean skewed?

[HH75]

CR has potentially some good numbers coming up thru starting with this coming falls Jr class down thru the 6 th grade. To go past that class is to far to look at this point. Now I know that this doesn't equal success on the field . We need a few things to happen .... 1 ) the right person MUST be hired to be the coach. 2) our current HS principal must retire ( which he is come July 2015) 3) a decision needs to happen on which fall sport CR would like to keep.
We ARE NOT big enough numbers wise to have both soccer and football. We will continue down the mediocre to bad road in BOTH as long as we have both.

Will all kids that play soccer play football if soccer is cut.... No. Just as all football players wont play soccer if football is cut.

However if you cut football you might as well put in pay to play for ALL other sports! Boys and Girls both! Because even mediocre/ bad football pays the bills and a great undefeated soccer team wont!

Since is June 2, I'm not sure you have the time to hire the RIGHT person. You are going to just have get someone for the coming season. A staff needs assembled and summer workouts, 7/7's etc. The timing of this is terrible.

And true, looking forward, you have to make a decision on football or soccer. Can't do both at small schools
