...you dance with who brought ya.....sometimes it just doesn't go your way.....and blaming it on the coaches is fine.....that's what "fans" do.....and #23 is going to be the "bell cow" next year!....Originally posted by GreenandGold:
Yeah you can play the blame game. You turn the ball over you sit down. #23 fumbled 4 time himself. That's up to the coaching staff to decide. If you keep putting him in, who is the blame?
Why is it hard to recognize Luke is NOT an option QB. Is he a good QB YES! However for the option system with an ankle sprain to add, gameplan should have been switched up. Just my opinion.
I recognize 8 turnovers, 7 lost fumbles & 1 int will NEVER win a game. But if you cont to let the players play that are con't to mess up, that boils down to coaching. Everybody knows that!

Man r u serious with me right now ..
...it's the same offense.....Scotland has a great defense.....and I don't remember paying any dues to the "buddy buddy club".....btw...it's funny you criticize the coaches at your convenience...lol...I think they were the coaches last week too....what part of 7 turnovers don't you get....and also....IF Coach Hoggard ever did leave see where the program goes.....sad that folks do not see what a good job he does.....Originally posted by dcov33:
Please tell me you are joking! The RB's had at least 300 of those yards .I understand you are part of the buddy buddy system. I will ride or die with the coach but if we have another QB that is just as effective as Luke and can RUN then its about winning not who runs the offense the Best. ? Raiderlaw and don't dodge the question be straight up with me, since Luke was expose by Scotland the offense has not been the same right or wrong ..Don't count last week because Luke did not run the offense last week. Let me let you in on a little secret, One of my closest friends that is in the Buddy Buddy club at Scotland High stated that Richmond will never win because they were going to take the pitch man away and Luke was not going to beat them with his feet! If they knew that why come we did not know that .
umm ok?....would you remove the all caps and quit yelling!!Originally posted by dcov33:
@RAIDERLAW, I NEVER SAID COACH HOG WAS NOT AN AWESOME COACH, BUT LAST NIGHT WAS NOT LUKE'S NIGHT. "ADJUST, ADJUST, ADJUST .DO YOU REMEMBER THE DRIVE WHEN LUKE WAS UNDER THE CENTER AND WE PLAYED SMASH MOUTH THAT OFFENSE IS FIT FOR HIS STYLE OF PLAY. LET ME ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IF COACH HOG LEFT THE SHOW WOULD STILL GO ON. D. BARNES 87-90 3 STATE TITLES AND A 3RD APPEARANCES, H. SHULER 91-96 SEVERAL 3RD ROUND GAMES BUT THAT WAS FAR AS HE COULD GO, D. BARNES 97-00 2 STATE TITLES 1 WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL, AND A 3RD RD APPEARANCE. E. EMORY 01-06 SEVERAL WESTERN AND EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE, COACH HOGGARD 06-PRESENT 1 STATE TITLE, SEVERAL 3 RD APPEARANCES. I REPEAT THE SHOW WILL STILL GO ON
,,,thanks for your impartial opinion.....it's sooo easy to sit in the stands and criticize...but that is where society has come to today....pay your $7 and act any way ya want.....Originally posted by DLS2004:
Outside prospective. I was in the area for work last night so I decided to go to this one. I have not seen either team this year and do not know anything about the players. I did do some homework about the teams before the game just so I would know what to expect and who I wanted to watch.
I sat on the home side and herd several fans making comments like fans do esp when it involves the coaches son, same stuff as on here.
Richmond's kids play hard, O and D. They are well coached,that can not be argued.
Millbrook #21 is tough to tackle and they are Big!!! 22 is a monster. 6-6 250. Millbrook capitolized on just enough and got away with this one.
...I'm sorry your relative who played for Richmond didn't have a good experience.......ALL of your post are transparent.....it's obvious you have a "personal agenda" against the current staff due to nothing but negativity spewing from you....maybe one day you will get over......Originally posted by crysnake:
If I was that Zeigler kid, I would start looking for a new home if I wanted to play QB. He's going to get the same treatment Calhoun got and worse. All of a sudden, he won't be able to remember plays, He won't be able to read those fancy signs the coaches hold up. I won't even mention not being able to pass or even run the option as good as Luke. All of us should know that no one has a grasp of this complicated offense like the next coming of Peyton Manning. If I had to choose between the simplified "O" we ran last week and the complicated one we ran this week, I'll choose last week. Hoggard being the dictator that we know him to be, is going to play his son no matter how "Crappy" he performs. He showed everyone in attendance that he would rather lose, than pull his son. I feel sorry for the kids who are going to have to be subjected to this mess. Pitiful crowds, mediocre results are what they have to look forward to. Adults can just do something else, kids don't have that option. All of the fanboys, good ol boys, and administrators, incapable of doing their jobs won't change that. Later!
...will that staff bring some Melvin Ingram's, Danelle Ellerbe's, Justin Jackson's,etc with them....Millbrook had 7 D-1 power 5 players on there roster.....Richmond had none...our kids play hard and do what the coaches ask....even with 7 turnovers(not 8 because Millbrook fumbled one of those back to Richmond on the same play) Richmond had a shot at winning....you play with what ya got.....it seems the critics want to gloss over this point....the ole saying...."it's not the X's and O's it's the jimmy's and joe"s"Originally posted by Heel yes:
The staff may be great. However I personally believe they have run their course and it would be good to clean house and take the growing pains of a new staff.
The fan base is divided, attendance appears to be down, they can't beat Scotland, they can't advance in the playoffs, we seem to have a ton of injuries and so on.
None of this may be a problem reflective of the staff's ability or work ethics but to every time there is a season. This set of coaches have been in rockingham since 2000ish?
Change isn't always good or bad, sometimes it is just needed.
He makes a good point.Originally posted by Heel yes:

Thats never been an excuse before Law. Richmond has always punched people in the face with their talent. People think the talent pool is low at Richmond, I totally disagree. I just think the right talent is not being put in the right place.Originally posted by raiderLAW:

lol...it's not an excuse...it's a fact.....we play with what we have got....and they play hard!.....the sidelines used to be crawling with scouts from D1 schools....they aren't there anymore......11-2 this year with this group is a great year.....Originally posted by GreenandGold:

Law, I talked to a former college scout and his answer was that Richmond is not getting our kids qualified in the classroom so the scouts don't bother coming anymore. You can have all the talent in the world but you may not see a single scout.Originally posted by raiderLAW:

You are right, I forgot to not count that one. Our stats just show each team with a fumble on that play.Originally posted by raiderLAW:
