IS this not a vhsl hall of fame coach we are speaking of???? Are you going to try to tell me that he would let pride get in the way of his good judgement???

dookie 10 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Whatever happened, I think all of us are glad it's over so we can get back to winning. And make no mistake about this, last year was a one time thing. You SWD guys will find that out real soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is that the same quarterback led you to the state semi's the year before. Oh dont tell me that Bradshaw had a large hand in that and the quarterback didnt matter at all.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldskool 10 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I think that Kevin really wasn't focused at all this past year and he played with no emotion at all. He didn't make good reads and the team payed for it. He fumbled the ball alot inside the red zone but he's not the only one that had a bad year. His position is the most important though. Ronnie "may" have done a better job but you don't know that for sure. He played well in the time that he did get to play and I for one know how it feels to have to play behind someone when you think that you are better that the starter but you have to deal with the decision of the coaching staff or go home and play the playstation. I think that people just felt that Roniie could do no worse so give him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STE 10 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 the 40's were "ok" for the dawgs ... they need improvement burtons soon to be senior leadership is looking prime as he takes control next year... angle and riddle have both gotten stronger (especially angle, kid is a moose) and riddle has improved his speed ... "pocy" is looking excellent in strength and speed ... thomas lewis is also coming on strong here lately, speed and strength wise ... they've also got some freshmen that look good ... a few benghing in the 200's ... but there is still a long time til' august ... i look for it to be a competitive year for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, his lasting legacy at Graham has and will continue to do more harm than good. Just watch over the next couple of years. This year was but a prelude to what his lasting legacy at Graham will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Yes....than obviously in the 2003 season he knew where the ball was suppose to go. Or are you guys willing to admit that Bradshaw carried a sub-par team to a 10 win season? Basically the same team won 5 games last year. Does Bradshaw make graham 5 wins better this year? We will never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kave06 10 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Sub par, All of the success in that season was accomplished by the TEAM. Yes AB had a big role to play but saying one person carried a team thats crazy considering that there are 11 players on each side of the ball. One person can't beat 11. You can't give all the credit to one person the whole team deserves it. Also everybody has a bad season but don't worry we will back next year.

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I wouldn't say Bradshaw was the only reason for Graham's success, they had a great team, but he was the difference maker. Opposing teams had to focus everything on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola 10 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 The Bottom line on Graham is Coach Carlock commands respect from all other coaches he faces, He has had great success throughout his years and that isnt luck. Lets talk about the upcoming season and not second guess one of the great coaches in our area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
