Sigh…………I am just glad that the last game is tonight!
Medicine Man,
I’ve never blamed the players. Obviously you have not read every post I’ve left. I have not blamed the coach. I’m just realistic. I understand the basics of football. I have encouraged every player I have spoken too, to be their best and keep their heads up. I agree 100% that the kids need to be coached. If teams did not need rebuilding years, than every high school , college and pro team would win the championship every year. And then sports would not be so entertaining.
We may not share the same opinions ,but we do live in a free country. I have never said we suck or any garbage like that. So give me credit for simply putting this situation into perspective just like you do.
Thank you and have a great day,
Keith
Go Chiefs
Keith,
Several of the posts on this site are from people that have watched the games just as you did, but I promise you John Madden didn’t. The excuse you use that every team we play has cornered the market on size at the line of scrimmage, unfortunatly reveals your blinders you have on. Northview has sufficient size at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. These players have to be taught what needs to be done to be effective, by whatever source needed to get it done.
Next year Northview isn’t all of the sudden going to simply to start winning just because they have more seniors, that is a very wreckless statement. If that was the case then every school in the state would have winning seasons and win championships at least every 2-3 years, but as we know, that doesn’t happen. We also know that some schools though do have winning seasons and win championships often, like at least every year or every other year, and it is not because the have more seniors than other schools, it is because of Coaching. That is what makes teams consistent. Coach Keene is a great person on and off the field, but Coach Keene isn’t the only Coach out there. He needs help, as would any Coach trying to keep a consistent program, he must have assistants that can get the info to the players in a way that they can get the job done. One more thing, the players we have, is what we have, no more are going to drop out of the sky. The players Northview has are able to do what needs to be done to win, they just need the right info and stategy to fit the players they have to make that happen. Keith please quit blaming the players, when you do that you place a huge burden on their shoulders that they shouildn’t have to bear. Oh and I am a Chiefs fan, don’t ever mistake open discussion and concern as someone not being a supporter.
I’m with ” Seriously? ” on this one….. couldn’t have said it better myself. So i will just say….. DITTO.
It’s sort of like an umpire in a ballgame…..the winning team loves him and the losing team hates him. I would challenge any of those that talk the most about the “AWFUL” job Coach Keene and his “staff ” does, to walk a mile in their shoes and please EVERYBODY, ALL THE TIME…….NOT going to happen. So, Coach Keene, staff, and players…..keep your heads up…..work hard, and hate losing. Because you know where your heart is and if people think its so easy and have so much advice and could make you “winners” then by all means, they should go quick, fast and in a hurry and get certified to Coach!!!!!! Good luck Friday nite!
GO CHIEFS!
I really think that people need to quit blaming not winning on coach keene.
He can’t put pride in our boys. They have to want too. and we’re in a building season so what can we do? We only have what 5 seniors and a lot of juniors so next year will be better. and people who don’t even go to the school and say stuff about nakita miles that he was our only reason we won last year is pure crazyy!!
Great article!!! Let’s go Chiefs! Stand strong and play your heart out! Win or lose, I’ll still support the CHIEFS! Also thanks to the coaches for your time and effort that you give during summer hours and also through the year. I don’t know of to many coaches that will give up their summers to help kids by driving to Pensacola for summer school, to help educate our kids. Thanks!
I seriously think that some of the “adults” that post garbage on this site should really reevaluate their lives. First of all, the “TEAM” last year wasn’t “decent” because of ONE player. Second of all, I am SICK of people bashing the coaching staff. People say they don’t care but they don’t see the hours they put into this program both IN and OUT of school hours. Thirdly, this isn’t a “Century vs. Ernest Ward” deal. Let’s all just get over ourselves, shall we? You people act as if Northview football has always been this amazing team….it hasn’t! There have been seasons where the team hasn’t won a SINGLE GAME!
Football isn’t everything….and, you know, how do YOU think that these boys feel when they play and have zero support in the stands? People try to get up and cheer the team on, and the crowd looks at them as if they are morons. Half of the football team planted themselves on the bench and wouldn’t even get up when their own teammates urged them to!
People constantly try to point fingers and blame, and let me tell you, this isn’t one individuals fault. We are all at fault…we should be supporting our boys whether they win or lose! Some of us care, and those of you that don’t should be ashamed of yourself! People come on here and bash not only the coaches, but CHILDREN. Are you SERIOUS?! If you know so much about football, why don’t you prance yourself over to Northview and give some friendly advice? :]
CHIEFS – Keep it up!! Know that your TRUE fans and people that CARE love you and support you NO MATTER WHAT! The most IMPORTANT thing is to play your hardest and to have FUN!..don’t forget that, and don’t take it out on each other. You have enough people against you, you guys don’t need to turn on each other.
One more time!! We are down this year because we have a young inexperienced team.It has absolutely nothing to do with Nakita Miles. Nakita had a lot of size blocking for him up front. I’ve been to every game this year. We are being dominated on the line because we lack size. Any (John Madden know it all) should know that if you do not control the line your offense will not be successful. If your defense does not control the line your defense will get the ball run down their throats . Well guess what? Marrianna passed twice the entire game.Catholic ,Baker and Walton ran the ball down our throats.If we can’t stop the run, than the other team has no reason to stop running. Think about it. It’s only common sense. Keep running – keeps clock running.
The QB has to have time to pass.If the line doesn’t give him time than he will do nothing( accept get blamed) hint – Jay Jackson……If you haven’t noticed, many of our kids are playing both ways. Was it not obvious last friday night how worn out these kids are from doing this. Another thing, all of this talk about (they should have never combined these schools) I have one kid who has already graduated from NHS , and three that are there now. Never once have I heard these kids complain about this situation. As a matter of fact I never knew it was an issue until I visited this web site and heard all of these adults whinning about it.Grow up. And as for needing a new coach, We got a great coach and I’ll stand by him no matter what. He is an awesome person on and off the field. Say what you want , it doesn’t matter anyway. Have a great day and GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After this many years, I dare say this community will not come together. I think this is a wake-up call. There never should have been a school consolidation in the first place. It has bred nothing but hard feelings!
I was proud of the way our young players played friday night. Keep working Chiefs, every team has moments when it has to rebuild no matter what level you play. I still say that Northview will not be the school it needs to be until the people in the community come together and there are no more Golden Eagles and Century Blackcats. Until we become united, I don’t care who the coach is, people are still going to complain. Maybe we should go ahead and join the little league parks together now, so by the time the kids get to Northview they will know how to be a CHIEF!
Well I hope we have some kind of game plan this week.I would like the seniors to have a game they don’t try to forget.Guys I know it’s been ruff and not all has been given the chance to show your talent but always remember your team mates and all the fun you guys had together.Everything happens for a reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS TIME FOR A NEW COACH. THE REASON NORTHVIEW HAS BEEN DECENT FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS IS BECAUSE OF NAKITA MILES. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A GOOD COACH WHEN YOU HAVE NEKITA. JUST TELL THE TEAM TO GIVE HIM THE BALL!!
Its ok Chiefs. You played your best and that is the ONLY thing that counts. Also you cant win by yourself. There is one last game this Friday until next year so lets make this in count. And just remember let NO ONE bring yall down.
(2-9)
TIME FOR A NEW COACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Chiefs definitly gave several players a chance to get in the game and be a play maker. This was a good thing so that the Chiefs can get a good game look at some players that will need to step up. The thing that unfortunatly did not change much was the inconsistent play calling. When you do that you do nothing more than tie the hands of the players, stick with one thing, and do it very well, and the rest will take care of itself. Being a Coach takes more than just knowing some or all of the game that you are teaching, it takes a person who is also a good manager or supervisor so to speak, the Head Coach doesn’t have to know every miniscule detail of the game or every possible strategy that might fit every team, but he does need to be a good judge of workers (AKA Asst. Coaches) and able to get the workers that do the best work for the job at hand. The Coaches must be peolple who believe in the program they are in, their heart and soul has to be into what they are doing, not just going thru the motions. If the strategies the Coach or Coaches are using don’t work, or are over the head of the players, then that Coach needs to be able to adapt to what he has and what he will be playing against, if they can’t do that then the Head Coach must have the ability to identify that, and require the Coaches to obtain the information they need to accomadate the teams abilities or replace the Coaches with someone who will, it is his obligated duty to the job he was hired to do. With that said it appears that the Chiefs need more knowledge, and all supporters expect the Head Coach to do what is required to gain that knowledge, by whatever means he can.
WOW!!!! We kinda do suck ( well at least the football team does) But the Cheerleaders ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
