[In response to “Criticizes newspapers, football coach, athletic director”]
Those very close to the program know that Coach Given and his staff did an excellent job this year in building the foundation for turning the program around. They worked very hard to rebuild a program that was basically abandoned for the last couple years. I was at every game this season and saw a huge difference from the prior season.
I agree that the next head coach should have real local ties and have faith that Jon Mitchell, who is very committed to JPM and all its athletics programs, will hire one. The constant criticism and infighting within the JPM community does not benefit anyone.
It seems so easy for some people to call others inept or unprofessional, yet I would love to see those people take on these public positions if they have so much knowledge and expertise. I guarantee the rest of the section loves seeing this kind of criticism because they know what kind of powerhouse JPM would be like with the full support of the community.
Lets get behind the school, programs, and people that have committed to making a difference rather than bicker and criticize.
