Ivan McGlone is probably the best coach thats coached there. I mean, look at all hes done. Hes a great coach. A smart coach. And to say he aint worth nothing, thats just nonsense.

let me rephrase... I'm not saying he's worth nothing as a human, nor am I saying that he has never been worth anything as a coach. What I AM (trying) to say is that he isn't worth anything as a COACH anymore. Like say, for the last fifteen years. I played four years of football for the man. I think he's a great guy, don't get me wrong. But there's many more reasons that you are a coach than just what you can do on a football field. Some of the things that he did with players by manipulating them and such was wrong. He's infamous for not allowing kids to earn their spots in practice, but if you have the name you have the position. Not to mention (as I did previously, and didn't catch it if anyone commented) he is/was a terrible teacher in the classroom as well. I don't think anyone can deny that. I guess to sum it all up is to say that we owe our children something greater when we choose not only someone to be their coach and role model, but when we also choose someone responsible for educating them. Again, I can't speak for what he did in the 70's or 80's, but I can vouch for th 90's to the present and I would say he's a figurehead, and that most of what has been positive on the playing field has come from those he's surrounded himself with, including the many talented players, not so much himself. Heck, I bet I can tell you the first play he runs when the Red Devils play their first game this season....822...
