hey Jimmy I might be late but did you know that Tonio Cellotto decided to leave the Oregon program and give up football? I just found out because I did not see his name on the roster so I started searching and i found out that he left school right before spring ball started and moved back to Southern California. For the most part it is due to personal reasons, and they said that his dad was very shocked but was going to support him, and that the coaching staff tried to give him some options just to keep him there. Did any of you guys know that already?

BUT TONY CELLETTO HAD ALREADY COMMITED TO OREGON BEFORE HE GOT TO PIEDMONT, THEY DONT GET THE CREDIT FOR THAT, BECAUSE HE ALMOST WENT TO TECH THAT YEAR AND AT THE LAST MINUTE CHANGES HIS MIND TO GO TO PIEDMONT, HE ALREADY HAD COMMITTED AND HAD HIS RIDE, HE COULD HAVE SAT OUT THAT YEAR, CUZ HE WAS STILL ON HIS WAY COMING FROM SEMI VALLEY.

Piedmont Dad,
did you hear anything about St. Pats? You guys think you can still beat them especially with transitioning into a new offense. What offense will Piedmont be running anyway? Who does St. Pats bring back thats good? Who is their next QB?

At the end of the 2009 season, Piedmont players with full rides for football over the last 4 years will be:

Celloto at Oregon 2006, Arden at Oregon 2008, Andrada will accept a D1 offer in 2009, and Cragie will hopefully accpet a D1 or 1aa offer in 2009.

I should have said, 3 or 4 scholis after 2009 season, and not 4 or 5, that mistake was all mine.

Our kids are very excited by what the coaches are doing up on the hill at Piedmont. Since we know the kids are not normally big, those coaches do almost entirely speed work and nothing else.

I hear you Jimmy. No, I dont knock any of those coaches actually a lot of this is new to my ears.

Andrada is good too. I want to see him in action though in a more traditional offense.

4 or 5 D1 players over the last 4 years seems like a lot, that would make them one of the top 5 D1 schools in the area. Can you please name the 4 or 5, just seems like a bit of a stretch.

I don’t know any details about any interviews, but like Highlander Dad says, you can’t knock somebody just for going on an interview. You can love your job yet you always owe to yourself to hear about a new position if something comes up. Maybe Cal called some of these folks to have them come in for an interview just to hear from different people. Schools like to hear from different people, even if they know who they are going to give the job to.

Glad you are going away runslikethewind, you are weak.

Let’s see if we got this straight in terms of what a few people think – the coaches who interviewed for the Cal job, Want Out of their current job?

Crippling lack of wisdom by some folks on here.

Longero, the Miramonte coach, Bryan, Moreno at Dublin, and the Serra coach ALL should be commended for having the —– to step up to the challenge of playing the best and seeing what might happen.

It does not mean any of them want out, it means they have the maturity and football wisdom to see what might be a better challenge for them at this point.

Crippling immaturity by some people on here.

Reggie Hammond: The young man Keyton Arden earned a scholarship to Oregon as a Defensive End from Piedmont, and Joe Andrada will get division I offers soon.

Our boys have a great quarterback at Piedmont, going to stun people, even though we lost an amazing player in George, wait until the people see Craigie.

Scouts already on him and this will be his only season at QB, he was a receiver last year. 6’4, 220 lbs. and throws the football with amazing heat and accuracy.

Not one coach can do everything right, but Coach Bryan and his staff must be doing something correct, they will have 4 or 5 Division 1 scholarship players coming out of our football program in the last four years when this season ends.

Our kids love Coach B and the staff, so please grow up.

Well, Well, Well,

Bryant wants out of Piedmont. Is that true? Jimmy Durkin, did you get a chance to see how the interview went for the cal high job? What happened? Sucks for Andrada, and that 6’4 defensive end who I dont have a name for. What is the name of that guy?

Okay, you win,

“The few cry babies on this board are so immature when it comes to understanding the game of life and how it relates to football coaching”.

Since you have the answers, would you care to use this forum to impart your knowledge to us? What is the game of life and how does it relate to football coaching?

Also, Highlander Dad, it seems you have some kind of complex because you feel the need to call my text “Impotent” plus you feel the need to call others who disagree with you “soft” and “weak”. Wow, you are Freudian nightmare.

Upon further review, I’m starting to get a little creeped out by you now, so, you win. I’m done here. Continued luck titlting at your windmills Don Quixote.
