Rick Streiff sat in the stands last season watching his son, John , play football for Cathedral High School when the feeling started to come over him: I need to be coaching again.

Explain to me why the Cathedral "clique" would have ever considered anyone after the application was given to them by Streiff. He was always their first choice and the only question was whether he wanted it or not. Why would you not want to bring back a legend who is widely liked by the Cathedral community and who is a 4 Time state champion!!! Think before you post your idiotic conjectures.

On another note, the Oden kid is the softest 6'9" 300 lb. kid in the nation. I'm surprised Arkansas took him. His coaches said he didn't hustle, never gave 100%, a mere shadow of his brother.

No question about it! I know a couple of coaches who had said exactly what you are saying- No heart! He has NO work ethic, he just big.
But then everyone is saying how great the Newton kid is from Carmel and he's just big too! He's not a QB. He can't read a defense to save his life. If I could get a dollar for everytime he throws into double coverage, I'd be a rich man. If he threw at guys who were really defensive backs, he would be in trouble. It must be nice to throw at a 6'6" kid who is defended by three 5'8" kids. Wait until he has to show his stuff against really good comp.
Same thing with the Oden kid- he'll get chewed up and spit out at Arkansas when he goes against some big southern boys!

We anoint our kids as game breakers too early when they really don't show much after their stellar HS career. Look at the latest from Indiana. Darren Evans at VT. "he'll go in and start right away" according to the know-it-alls in Indiana - wrong! Red shirt, virdict is still out. "Jerimy Finch, best safety in the nation- he'll start right away at Florida" Wrong! Firmly behind three other freshmen at his position! Everyone here needs to get a grip and realize we don't produce football guys like we do basketball players.

Jeremy Finch was hurt for the Gators is the primary reason he didn't play, but now if he is healthy IU finally got the guy they wanted.

Congrats, and welcome back Coach Streiff...Shoulda never bailed
