I've been with Marion Football since my oldest started playing in 2011 (the start of the good run) and then my nephew after him and now I'm in it for the next 5 years because of my youngest sons and it looks like it is going to be a long 5 years. Let's face it Tim didn't get left with much, Carroll knew when to get the hell out of dodge because he wouldn't be fairing any better. Tim controls the team and he doesn't let the players or parents determine who does what, which is not a bad thing. One thing Marion needs to do IMO is get rid of the stupid rec league football and get into travel ball but that won't happen because then many Dads wouldn't be able to coach their little Johnnys and make them the stars of rec league teams. I've had parents tell me that they told their child to quit if they didn't get to play when they hit middle school ball and up. That is just stupid if you're good enough to play you'll get to play and if not well then you need to work harder and try to improve so you can get some playing time. So many parents build mediocre kids up and have them thinking that they are the next big superstar when in all reality they suck. Didn't mean to ramble on but I agree with you though I don't know if Tim can survive but I do know he means well and cares about those boys and I wish him the best.
