We talked about this on other posts earlier in the year. Against the big 4 teams in the CL( GV, Have, UD, Stoga) they are 1-7 in hte past 2 years. This year they went 8-3-with the 3 losses to GV, Stoga and Hav. They need to be 3-1/4-0 in order to be a factor for district playoffs. 6 of their 8 wins were against AAA opponents, and one of the other 2 was against Lower Merion. The way the league is presently constituted, they will win 5 games a year by defualt. Its getting from 5 to 9 that is the problem. Some may say that GV is now their biggest rival, buts its not much of a rivalry when you are getting your butts handed to you 4 out of 5 years.
Next year, the league is going to only 8 league games and 2 non league games. Tentatively, those 2 games for ridley will be AAA Glen Mills and AAA BShanahan. So no real help with bonus points, etc.
As for now, Decker is still in and he may be in for at least one more year. Wh knows? But ridley does not do theings the typical way as far as football is concerned. When waller retired, it took them 4 months to name decker as a replacment ( even longer if you consider waller announced his retirement before the season was over). So if anything happnes, it will not be immedaiate.. The job most likely will NOT be posted. They will putt feelers out to a handful of candidates and find one who they feel comfortable with, and only then let someone go. In other words, they will hirew the next coach beforew they fire the current coach. And they have only fired 2 coaches in over 50 years,so they usually lewt this things play out.
