Re: Coaching Carousel

What's going on in Altoona? Did they "open" the position or fire Felus? Any reason why? I found an old article saying it wasn't about wins/losses.

Re: Lamont Wade

Most of us probably didnt play at a school like PSU so of course we think he is fortunate and doing well. Personally, I think what he has done has been phenomenal. Most of us were not 4 star prospects ranked in the top 100 nationally. If we were, maybe we would feel differently. LaMont had a post mi...

Re: Steelers

He shouldve never had that job in the first place. You can argue that others should go with him but not that he should stay. People on the inside have been saying for years that Porter is a terrible coach. Tomlin protected him until his head was on the block and then it was an easy decision. I hope ...

Re: Lamont Wade

I had suspicions about Wades ranking from watching him play guilfoyle and Berlin. But I was thinking of him as an RB, LB, and a little corner. I looked up his film from The Opening, and he was phenomenal. Blanketing all the top wideouts in the country at the biggest invite camp in the country. His r...

Re: Lamont Wade

Safety is a different beast. Corners have to be ultra athletic but not overly cerebral football players. It definitely helps but you can have a safety tell you whether to play inside/outside man press, 2 hard/soft, 3, etc. That first game against App state, they scored a TD because psu blitzed a cor...

Re: Tribune Democrat

There are valid arguments at multiple positions most years. Usually I dont agree with a few. I just hope the tribune democrat continues this. I look forward to it. That previously posted all-state 10 qbs and 5 o-lineman or whatever is an absolute joke. In my opinion they shouldnt even bother.

Re: Steelers

The most underrated part of the job is managing egos. Not every super star is built like larry Fitzgerald. AB is the best steeler by far . You don't just get rid of guys like him and win. I can totally see what Tomlin did. He extended an olive branch with the vet day and injury report. When AB didn'...

Re: War Memorial Holiday Shootout- Boys

I watched rasheed Wallace play for Simon gratz years ago in a tournament there. He was the number one high school player in the country. I also watched Steve tannyhill from altoona, who ended up as south carolinas QB play against a very good johnstown team. What great history. I'm glad to see basket...
