Tom Barr is out.

Seems Shurmer will have a real opportunity to compete for the starting job at Vanderbilt. I wish him the best.

Did Cohen resign

Any views? I think it's great news and perhaps the tip of the iceberg in terms of NCAA overreach and how that all fleshes out....if at all. A trial would have obviously opened the books on the NCAA in a unflattering way. The decision also frees up the 60M fine to be used for child protection services rather than held in abeyance per continued litigation making it a win on a number of levels.

Any word on possible candidates? Is the job even open yet?

Chalie Szydlik has stepped down at Neumann-Goretti

He will stay on as athletic director, so he will play a role in naming his successor.

The word around school this morning is Frederick met with the team yesterday and informed them that there is a "less than 10% chance" he will return this season. A few players were disgusted and left. The QB is transferring to LaSalle to play with Schmidt.

RIP Neshaminy Football

Is the head coach job open?

CB West hiring someone with ninth grade and 2A football coaching experience. There's no question this was a political choice, and I know for a FACT they did not hire the MOST qualified coach. Oh how Central Bucks has changed.

This is the bombshell hire I've been hearing about on this board? I thought for sure Pettine Sr was coming out of retirement. When do D1 playoff tickets go on sale?

All kidding aside, I hope Cubbage can turn their program around.

Bensalem hire

Last year they couldn't get anybody to coach. The school board is a debacle and there are always contract issues, this eliminates any sane teacher who can coach. I'm hearing there has been a mass exodus of all teachers and principals and they can't get anybody to fill positions. The football coach is the least of that district's concerns. How many administrators have left in the past two years? The admin has been forced to changed their direction in terms of athletics. Who the hell would want to coach in a district that has labor issues every two years?
Get use to it.

2 great programs that seem to be going through changes, football-wise not for the better. One possible solution is an ORGANIZED alumni group---- get in the newspapers, schedule meetings with each & every school board member & school administrators. Put them under a microscope, this is something they do not like. I was involved in a non-public school, my alma mater, who, for a period of time, showed no concern & gave no value to any athletic teams(football,girls & boys basketball, wrestling,baseball, etc.) . We organized and made a lot of noise in many ways including financially. Public schools are different but if you get the word out you can hit them where it always hurts--- $$$$ . The powers that be work for you & they should be reminded of that. In this day and age sports should not be de-emphasized, they should be encouraged and celebrated.

totally dumbfounded when i woke up this morning and saw in the Intell that CBW hired a 27 year old former player with basically NO coaching experience. The word going around was the former Principle Rod Stone was leading a search committee to find the new coach. Basic reasons would tell you that CBW needed a coach w experience to settle down this once great program. This hire shows that the Central Bucks administration puts NO VALUE on their football program. Pettine and Carey must be shaking their heads

As if president incapable hadn't already demonstrated that he lacked common sense and operational capability, now his presidential spokesperson (I forget the name of the guy who is doing that job this month), says it was a mistake to not have sent a representative to this past weekend's march against islamist terror in France.

Did obama just forget to send someone, or did he not care, or was he just not aware enough of the impact?

As stated earlier, if this guy were a corporate CEO, instead of the CEO of the country, sadly enough, he would have been bounced out the door long ago.

Another embarrassment for the USA.

Malvern Prep quarterback Alex Hornibrook is now headed to Wisconsin. He was committed to Pittsburgh, but with Paul Chryst going to Madison, Hornibrook has followed.

Jack Strain announced today is going to Princeton (as is Tom Johnson) and Dillon DeIuliis announced he's headed to Colgate.

Moscow please take the advice of 71 Skins that you need to let this go, and show some dignity towards Heartbreak Ridge.

You may be familiar with the quote...

"The certainty of history seems to be in direct inverse ratio to what we know about it" -Anonymous.

I will speak for the majority of Neshaminy football supporters that would prefer a more pointed quote of...

"Time will never dim the glory of the Neshaminy Redskins" - Harry E. Franks, 1954.

Buddy, this too shall pass, let it go.

According to Rick O'Brien...

Central Bucks West will hire Charles Cathers as its new head football coach.

He was defensive coordinator at New Hope-Solebury.

Intell reporting that Chas Cathers is being hired as new coach. He will be one of the youngest coaches in the area, 25/26. Good luck to Chas.

Why do you keep deleting posts!?!?!?!

Not a rumor. Frederick stepped down

Neshaminy High School football coach Mike Frederick has resigned after just one season on the job: http://t.co/DeEdsZBLXD

I saw in footballscoop.com that they are hiring a DC

Was the DC fired for giving up a ton of points?

As of right now Frederick is still the head coach at Neshaminy, if he leaves which sources tell me he might not, a few guys that would be exceptional candidates would be. Coach McShane from Pennsbury, a good defensive coordinator that many feel he'd be a great hire. Coach Techtman would be a flat out score, he's turned the Egan program around and back to respectability and not many better people around. Kervick who was on Schmidts staff at Neshaminy, but him and Schweiker would both probably apply and if one got it, the other would be on staff. The lone guy from the current staff would be McGintty, he seemed to be just what coach Frederick wanted on his staff and keeping things the same in that fact would be a good transition. Just a few thoughts.

Just a few questions.........
Why did you remove your comment originally posted at 7:13am?

Where did you hear Wilmot and French were never considered?

Where did you hear the AD had nothing to do with the hire?

Just curious.......

When he took the job the public was dooped into believing this guy was the man for a program that has been so successful in past years. Here's a few examples.
"All he wants to do is coach football" NEVER HAPPENED
"He's moving his family here" NEVER HAPPENED
"Neshaminy is bigger and better" GOT WORSE
