Who will be the next Waverly head coach?

[Waverlyguru01]

Just remember
Meadowbrook

[EagleNut14]

If what I’m hearing is true this all I’m gonna say is WOW!!! 6 wins past 3 seasons?!

[YouCantBeSerious]

Well there is a board meeting tomorrow night so guess we will see if they have a decision made yet or not.

[Seneca]

I would love to be wrong but this looks like yet another disappointment.

If it is Teryn he is a very good coach. He had talent for exactly 1 of his 4 years at Meadowbrook and he went to the elite 8. The coaches prior to him neglected the program for years and left zero developed players in the program beyond his initial senior class, John Wooden himself couldn't have won games in the MVL with the talent level he has had the past three years. Whoever takes over at Meadowbrook will see vast improvement in the near future as the kids he's helped improve are now in or approaching high school. He personally ran youth clinics, helped with lower level practices and was involved to the fullest extent. He also is not married so his full focus would be on the program. If you have the talent you say is there he will win with it. He is a very knowledgeable young coach.

This. Spot on

I will be shocked if this parent group gives him a fair shake. Expect a mass exodus of players.

If he is your friend, tell him to run.

I've purposefully stayed off this thread for obvious reasons.

While Teryn may not have been the "expected" choice and many are questioning his resume, I truly expect everyone to stay put. Waverly has a group that has the potential to be very special the next few years and most of them are more than 1 sport athletes, some playing 3 sports. As a matter of fact, basketball may not be the main sport for some of them.

I really look for everyone to band together, rally around Teryn, and give him a chance. I'm sure there will be a few locals everyone knows to join the staff.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Sometimes , the grass is greener on the other side!

I predict at least 2 leave

[bucknuts09]

I really hate to see any leave, but NIL deals may be better elsewhere! I am predicting 3 leaving!

[EagleNut14]

Grass is looking pretty green on the East Side of the County! Plus we have a great ball handler that could allow someone to play off of the ball (Werner), a kid that can get it done on both ends of the floor especially when it comes to putting the ball in hole which can help keep the double and triple teams off of someone (Webb), with Tucker and Declan graduating that’s probably losing 35 shot attempts per game and we have one of the best young coaches in the area. Oh I forgot to mention our 6’7 QB will be lacing them up next winter as well.

EagleNut,
Great try at recruiting but if you have to get on a message board to try and convince people the grass is greener on the Eastside than it really isn’t. Most people know this fact. Anybody that does their own homework on the two schools own better. I don’t have a dog in this fight but for 95% of the people it’s not even close.

The two schools (physical building) and educational instruction - Not even close.
The two weight rooms - Not even close.
The two gyms - Not even close.
Basketball talent returning - favors Waverly
The two baseball programs - Not even close.
Football program: Waverly averages D - III; Eastern - Solid D-VII. (FB facilities - Not even close)
Basketball Coaches: Eastern Coach - 1 District Championship in D-VI of the new 7 Division system.
Waverly is hiring a BK coach with 1 District Championship in D-II in the much tougher 4 Division system.

So I think the list goes on and on.

In this case I’m not sure the grass is greener on the other side!

[formerfcfan]

Lot of “rob Peter to pay Paul” politicking for athletes to transfer going on, here!

[EagleNut14]

Facilities yes they’re nicer. Baseball program a lot better not even close. Weight room nicer probably so. Basketball talent returning is a toss up IMO. What about culture though? I have heard a lot noise coming from Waverly in football and basketball and it’s the good noise either. I’ve heard that players have made the comments they was done passing the ball to certain teammates on the court! I’ve heard that players parents told their kid to stop passing the ball to certain players. By the end of the end of the year that locker was not good as they had lost 11 in row. Could it have been the coach? Maybe so but I think it was way more than the coach.

[EagleNut14]

Caldwellbasketball you said that he inherited a mess? From looking at it from my point of view it looks like he inherited a pretty good team winning the district in his first season?

Inherited a loaded senior class with nothing behind it. He easily could have easily parleyed the year 1 success to another job but he elected to stay at Meadowbrook.

[Hoopster98]

Give the guy a chance. Just because his record is bad, does not mean he is a bad coach. You gotta have the Jimmy & Joes also. There is a reason why Norm left Peake and Oak Hill because he knew talent was not going to be very good and he did not want all those L's on his record. Coach Barrick struggled his last few years at Burg but does that make him a bad coach? No, the talent wasn't there. Don't judge a coach based upon their coaching record.

I would agree with about 2 things on your long list there. Strongly agree that baseball isn't close but baseball is also a sport that is very personally driven for example if your batting .500 at Eastern and pitching a no hitter every night I'm sure you'll get a lot of personal recognition although you may lose most of your games. I also agree with facilities being bigger and better as they should be but I really question how well these facilities are being used when Waverly has become one of the most mediocre D-3/D-4 schools in the area. They are the largest school in the SOC and rarely win SOC's in basketball or football which are the two sports you mentioned. I have been around Waverly football for several years now, weightlifting is very structured but the kids are no where near the level Ironton, and Burg have gotten their programs too. Ironton's weight rooms are much smaller than Waverly's and you see what they do. Waverly could go through a season or two only winning 1-2 games over the next couple years. I don't know why at Waverly we have gotten to the point where we look down on everyone else because they are smaller than us but haven't showed dominance in the two major sports being football and basketball. I'm going to stay off coaching but want to say I am not disappointed that I will not being seeing some of the applicants that applied for this job on Waverly's sideline. I do think it will be interesting to see who this guy can get to coach assuming he's not bringing staff with him though, hard to find assistants who aren't parents these days
