Hush down puppy one mediocre game when the whole team isn’t playing good doesn’t mean anything |
DM may be most poorly coached team in wcac |
GC defense is not good. They better get the triple slide under control before they play Gonzaga and St. John’s or the will be torched. |
Really Landon? Bragging about beating 2 down MIAA teams that have 0 conference wins so far and aren't even MIAA contenders? Well, STM did already beat GZ in WCAC. But that just proves OP's point. Would love to see Landon take on BL, McD, or CH. LOL! |
0 conference wins? They even started conference play yet? |
It seems like all of their coaches know absolutely nothing about lacrosse |
Have a 29 that is considering GC. Why do you think Dane is a bad coach? It's only his 2nd year at GC and the program appears to be on the rise. If you look at his previous job (SAES), he did a great job. SAES has fallen apart now that he departed for GC. |
Dane Smith is a good coach but he’s looking to keep rising in the coaching ranks. I’d be shocked if he’s there more than 1 more year. He took nothing programs and made them competitive and there just aren’t that many good coaches in this sport.
GC might just pull a shocker and be in the WCAC finals They will steal one from pvi, gz or sjc. |
So what is Landon's best win on the season so far? Beating the eighth best team in the MIAA or the sixth best team in WCAC? |
Where would Dane Smith go next? Seems like he has something going at GC.
He was at Saint Andrew’s for 3 years and did a great job there but the ceiling at a MAC program is not that high. I don’t know of any IAC jobs opening up next spring. Maybe if King from GZ decides to throw in the towel that would be an attractive opening…. |
Coaching at the HS level is very over rated. Only dads who think they know the game even care about the actual coaching. Truth is players win and good programs are able to get good players. A coaches ability to recruit matters. The ability to build a good culture matters. Look at SJC where are they without the good players? PVI had clueless coaches for years but win with talent. Coaching is not going to make a difference look for the teams getting the best surrounding cast of players. |
Coaching at PVI has cost them games. It’s makes a difference. |
Mid 30’s with 2 kids and camps. he’s moving on to college. |
He might stick around for free GC tuition. |
Should be interesting with a new coach this season. |
