Apologies on the delay today. Real life work got in the way of hobby writing. But, not to miss a deadline. On with the show.

“Michigan did what everyone said they should do and junked the press man, mostly, so they could run a bunch of zones…They did this very badly….The main problem is that they don t know what they re doing…..Is this forgivable because of covid and a sudden realization you can t play man
Absolutely not. This is a three month fall camp where you apparently didn t teach anyone anything. You got obliterated by Ohio State two years ago and saw your approach last year repeatedly exploited. You need to run zones. You had plenty of time to practice them with experienced players. And Michigan is nowhere near where they need to be.”
Family remains first as Chris Moriarty is stepping aside as St. John s offensive coordinator
Former Burncoat coach has played major role in Pioneers success over past 11 seasons
Chris Moriarty stepped down as the Burncoat High football coach 13 years ago for family reasons.
After a year away from the game, one during which Moriarty and his wife, Jillian, welcomed their first child, he returned to the sidelines as the offensive coordinator at St. John’s in 2009.
Now, following 11 successful seasons with the Pioneers, Moriarty again has made a decision that is best for his family at the expense of football. So he’s assisting with the transition process this shortened spring season before fully relinquishing his duties as the OC and associate head coach.

Don Brown’s aggressive, man-press defensive scheme was welcomed by his players because it put them in control of the game.
The boom-bust tenets relied on Michigan getting pressure to the quarterback, allowing the secondary to play man-coverage in the backfield. Oftentimes, it worked. But things started receding in 2019 before the wheels eventually fell off this past fall.
