    Leo Plenski out as HC at Tennent.

    That’s an impossible job. Let’s be real about it

    Ridley Upper Darby

    Caught this tilt last night. Green Raiders get into the playoffs, and may have found something offensively the last few games (albeit against not so great defenses). May save the OCs job though. Do you think that Upper Darby ever gets tired of being the most underachieving laughing stock...

    Springfield 31 vs Haverford 17 FINAL Springfield Central League Champs

    Like I said in the other post....isnt all of this coaching? I questioned why the Joe Gal love, had people come to his aid, and from what it sounds like, your post pretty much validated what I had said all along. He is an overrated coach whose program underachieves.

    5A Top Teams

    Stop with the Gal love. Results speak. They underachieve year in and year out, with the exception of one year with Donaghy. Didn't they lose in the first round that year too? I know they didn't make it far either way. The head coach at Springfield has won more Central League titles (3) in only 4...

    Springfield 42. Ridley 7

    Speed, it's finally good to see you coming around to what some of us other Ridley people who know about what goes on have said from the beginning. This staff is flawed. The "hiring process" was a sham. The AD hand picked his guy, The Garnet Valley powers that be brought in the OC who was a...

    Ridley?

    When are the powers that be or even the head coach going to realize that this offensive coordinator and his system are antiquated, and do not fit with the Green Mystique? They wasted a ton of talent last year running this option crap, and won games because of their defense. Anyone with any idea...

    Contenders to pretenders from top to bottom

    Springfield returns most of their squad from a team that won the Central League last year, and added lacrosse stud Kevin Long to an already potent lineup. Marple has arguably the best quarterback in SEPA in Paoletti, as well as Dash Dulgerian and the Tail back returning. Haverford returns quite...

    Ridley

    you know its a sad state of affairs when the lead comment on next years ridley team is about a returning kicker. Ridley graduations almost 30 seniors, and a lot of starters. Running that archaic offense, I am not sure how they will be successful on that side of the ball. The key to the option...

    Malvern Job

    Speed, but you are one of the more level headed Ridley posters. Would you agree that most Ridley alum would rather not run this offense, since there is a such a tradition of great QB play? Again, I understand about the process as well and agree as I said before, it was pre-determined even...

    Malvern Job

    I can tell you what I heard, which will either add or subtract to this thread. Wood did NOT apply, and was not part of the phone interviews. Also, as this position was soon moved to a full time job after the posting, it doesn't make sense that the rumor is he pulled out because not job was...

    Penncrest Coach

    here is what I heard: Bell did not apply. decker did. Not sure if he is interviewing. Also, former Bonner coach HC, current Chichester head coach, current VFMA head coach, current Penn Wood coordinator, and current O'Hara coordinator All interviewing. .

    the Latest out of Morton Ave

    Considering some of the things that I had heard about the old MP coach and his demeanor (and that contributing to his "resignation", I would be shocked if MP took a serious look at Wood. His reputation precedes him, and I am not sure his act would play well at Malvern. If he does leave, that...

    the Latest out of Morton Ave

    Not sure how true or convoluted the details I received are. Any Ridley faithful hear that coach Wood emailed all current players and told them that they were forbidden from trying out for the basketball team since their season was still going on? And that any violation will result not only in...

    What does 15 coaches get you....A loss

    Tri Champs for the Central League, but I hear you. I was skeptical not of Wood's hire, but of Green's as the board may remember. I still say Wood was the right hire for the job, and as Speed pointed out, we will see what the long term is. I will disagree though, with one of the other posters...

    What does 15 coaches get you....A loss

    Not mudslinging, but I also heard that after both their losses this year, Coach Wood has bailed on the handshake line at the end of the game. Again, just mentioning something a pretty reliable Ridley person mentioned. Also, I heard that Wood made some comments directed at a very well respected...

    Ridley vs. Springfield

    I wasn't slighting Coach Thompson, as I am sure he has a big hand in the teams success. But, I have heard that he has essentially passed over for consideration for the HC job so many times, that he wouldn't go back to Ridley for all the money in the world. I heard he interviewed when Decker got...

    Ridley vs. Springfield

    Was anyone else NOT as surprised by this as me? I know Ridley had momentum, but the first year in the tenure of the coach who everybody knew was getting the job, and the OC who is friends with the Principal lose to a team that hasn't beat Ridley in almost a quarter century? And basically get...

    The real truth about the Ridley Job

    I have been on the record as saying that I think that Wood will be successful at Ridley. I also have no problem with bringing up some youth coaches in order to keep that pipeline within the community. My only argument is/was that it is not accurate to say that the whole "interview" process was...

    The real truth about the Ridley Job

    Didn't someone, I believe Speed, post that last years defense was statistically amongst the worst in the history of the school in regards to points allowed? Allowed more 20 points games or something than ever before. Speed I think it was you, but correct me if i am wrong. Their defense last...

    The real truth about the Ridley Job

    Parker, I have learned on this board that where there is smoke, there is fire. If you look back on my, Speed's, Joe Kane's, and some of the other individuals with good Ridley sources, you will see that most of the time, the things we say end up coming to fruition. Ridley, as a community, is very...
