Boys, can some one tell me what is going on with this program??? I live out of state but went to see my team in DC the other week. Man WTF.

I thought I was watching Coach D. I feel bad for the kids because they were all effort and seem like good athletes but the scheme and play calls were HORRIFIC. Also I think there was some coaching malpractice regrading key reads and teaching around play identification.

Any opinions whether they can turn it around and make a playoff run?

Well..I’m from Deerfield..grew up looking up to cats like JPP, Brent Schaefer..went to school and played under the same pop Werner organization as shoelace, just the notable names y’all all probably recognize..talent has never been the issue at Deerfield, its coaching and discipline. I’ll admit I haven’t been been around the program for about 2/3 years but I grew up with some of the younger coaches they have on staff rn. Idk how thing are been run by coach Glenn. I do know one thing when we had coach art Taylore there discipline wasn’t the issue until he was fired

Brother Peep game! @We the Boss - If it wasn't for the great athletes down there to carry some of these high schools to winning programs. The coaching down south would be actually horrendous . Some are not qualified to be coaching with the exception of some greats . This is just my honest opinion being in the game. I worked with, coach, trained and know a lot of coaches throughout the state. It was baffling how some schools down south don't teach players simple football analytics x's and o's.

They mostly tell these kids shoot up field or do this or do that instead of breaking it down and going through reads if nothing is there? No counter moves, no techniques etc.. They also tell them wrong things in life's well. -Peep the South Fla Mentality you seeing in kids nowadays. It's bigger than just football. When actually the out of towners are making the crib gr8 again!

The grey beards are retiring and the foundation down south left to these young coaches is not up to par. Kids are being mislead, scandals, cheating and having underground tide$ to certain other college programs etc.. (<<< Yeah that part) . I could go on and on bout some things I experience but this is not a TELL ALL STORY and i'm not built that way ANYWAYS . It actually broke me inside to see this happening, so I got out the game before I move out of South Florida .

I had talk to my friend the other day who is a die hard Canes fan in Orlando . We were talking about recruiting. I told him that Head Coach Manny Diaz has a lot to cover and ground to make up to get kids to commit and stay committed to our program . This man will have to battle his own community! In his backyard. Is he fit for it? We will see but I do believe it can happen. He understands the city and plus his father helps in many ways in knowing the demographics. His approach will have to be different but a no nonsense (Howard S/ Jimmy J /Butch Davis ) Miami style recruiting tactic. This why I feel we are too young on staff now. He needs to hire more wisdom of grey beards on his staff IMO to compete .

Once these South Florida kids are transitioned and coach up in College Football We can see THEY BALL and what my old coaches used to say ; HAND THESE SPECTATORS THE NEWSPAPERS!
Just sad that we are witnessing on other teams.

Go Canes!

I had did it again ....Sorry for the long post OP and Canesinsight family (My OG used to say: BOYYY say it with your chest out!) lol.
 
From what I've seen over the years as someone who grew up playing Optimist and HS football in soFla and has lived in Balt-DC area for over 30 years, the so-called elite programs in soFLa are poorly coached....great athletes and all but the teams are playing street ball....you can see the street agent and 7v7 influence.... conversely, the elite teams in this area are well-coached and the kids participate in very extensive S&C programs...Two Worlds.

Completely agree. Seems that standards are dropping. The good old days were good for a reason!

Legit S&C turns average kids into forces of nature. I know they say it’s Jimmies and Joes not Xs and Os but the lapses on Defense show lack of fundamentals and a death of strategic thought. Really puzzling.

One of the issues is lack of attendance. I've been all over the country and most rural areas high school ball is well attended. In Ohio you better go early if you want a seats. Therefore pressure to perform is lacking. A high school coach in South Florida can be horrendous and keep coaching. Another issue (I taped games at Deerfield fo the JV coach) is some of the most talented kids live in drug areas and get into trouble. I remember a JV QB at Deerfield that was incredible and knew he'd be great in varsity ball. The next year I asked where he was, alas in jail for murder in a drug deal. Anyone remember Rod Baker? Kid was incredible but robbery and coached by Tony Russell, yes that Tony Russell. I wish Rod Baker was an isolated case but ask any of our players from Liberty City or other drug prone areas and they will know of super talented lids that messed up.

Rod Baker
