[voice of reason]

I heard a lot of grumbling going on about this staff during the game on Friday night. I've talked to several former players who have played for Maynard and Salmons and those players had no confidence in the coaches then and I'm not talking about players who never saw the field. I have had conversations with several ex coaches and they ask the same questions I do, where is the hustle, where is the toughness.

I've said it before and I will say it again and again, this coaching staff will gain my respect when they win a toss up game against a team with a winning record.

I think the writing is on the wall, just my opinion but Maynard already coaches his daughter's softball at Russell. The football series ended, possibly more to make a future transition easier when Russell needs a coach. You can't serve 2 masters. How can you be all in for a school in one sport and compete against them in another? You can't. In my opinion he has one foot out the door.
