Meridian football has bigger issues then what happens on the field. JD was a huge stabilizing force. The city of Meridian has major issues that has unfortunately bled into the school. Those factors mixed with the level of competition and crumbling facilities compared to who you play. All of those factors make it a definitely unique job. They hired a all time great in Coach Boyels hopefully the wins start coming and it can spearhead a comeback for the whole city. Meridian has great history and great people.

Douglass did a good job at Meridian. He walked into a complete dumpster fire and definitely righted the ship. Unfortunately the last two years, we lost a couple a very close division games that cost us an opportunity to be in the playoffs. His first year, we were playing with 8th and 9th graders because most of the actual high school players quit the team. So in his case, you have to look at situation with some context. I think he is a good coach. Unfortunately, the LCSD has a terrible track record with regard to football. If they will leave him alone (doubtful) he can build NEL into a good football program. But it will not happen overnight.

Just dated yourself lol
