Well whaddya know Arroyo gets beat 35-20 by Newark Memorial. Weren’t you just talking trash about how Alameda got beat 59-10 to O’Dowd? Well, Alameda beat Newark Memorial? So what do you have to say now for your Arroyo Dons? Is 2010 still the year of the Dons? I guess we’ll find out this week when you play the Dragons. Give us another one of those sure-fire predictions.

Arroyo is now 1-2. Maybe they’ll learn to just close their mouth & play football.

Arroyo talks way too much for a 1-1 team.

Mt.Eden is weak. They lost every game last year, and from the sounds of it they gonna lose every game this year and the next. Maybe they can ask to move down into the Crusaders’ PAL league.

Coach Benevidez is, and always will be, a Mt. Eden legend. It is unfair to take those standards and apply them to another program. There’s only a handful of coaches in any of the bay area’s sports programs in the past thirty years who live up to those standards. Coach Rod may not have been turning out 8 and 9 win seasons every year but he won more games in his stint there than any number of coaches before him besides … BENEVIDEZ himself. You went to school there in the 90′s, you know what Mt. Eden football used to represent. Coach’s biggest obstacle is the same obstacle that these new, quality coaches are trying to hurdle today. They’re trying to change the culture of a school that is used to doing things THE WRONG WAY. After Rod left, I never would’ve imagined that the program would’ve nosedived like it did. But, a couple of wrong guys in a couple of right spots turns any ideal situation into a disaster. It’s hard to believe how people would want to cling to a frame of mind that brought so much despair to a program. Monarch 4 Life! I do understand your will to win and competitive spirit, seeing as how it was fostered by a great coach such as Benevidez, but trust me, as a fellow Mt. Eden alum, these coaches teach the same thing that he did. Maybe not as well, but not many others ever will do it as well as he did.

Rodriguez may have done well that year, but every time I checked their record at the end of the season they were under .500. I don’t know him, maybe he was a likeable person and inspired kids but please, Rodriguez was not a winner on the field. Benevidez was a winner. He was disliked by some but he had their respect and he motivated them to win, Check out his track record at Mt.Eden Benavidez won in every sport that he coached. They need to find Benevidez and hire him. I would pay to see that.

You should evaluate Coach Rodriguez more on what he accomplished to get Mt Eden to 8-2 in ’06 than his overall win-loss record. He brought stability, values and a higher set of standards to a marginally successful football program. The kids did respond to him.

BTW, Thompson and Perenon bring just what you believe “… these kids need now”.
