Sammyswordsman Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 DLS has been incredibly underachieving for the past 3 years. Albeit by their own standards, as most other teams would be very content with the results since after 2015. In 2012 (after 3 consecutive losses to Servite and missing the playoffs, Rollo said he "blew up the program". Is it time for Coach Alumbaugh to do the same? I'd like to hear from the DLS guys about what the issues are and if the program can achieve exponential success, such as Mater Dei achieved. (Please spare us the talk of transfers).

RedZone Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I was 3 when DLS last lost to a norcal team. They are doing fine... I'm getting ready to retire in a couple years. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLS needs to make more in roads in the NorCal Poly community so they can pick up some bigger beef at the Center and Gaurd positions without giving up the ability to run the Veer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
California Fan Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 DLS was only 7 points behind the #1 team in the country with 6 minutes left in the State Open Game. What is it they have to fix? Don't talk about transfers? Why not? MD probably had 15-20. That is the only way Rollo could beat DLS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD got just many transfers 20 years ago so that has nothing to do with that Sammy posted...infact the D the MD field vs DLS had 3 transfers and the one we fielded in 2000 vs DLS had 6 transfers...so there is that... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammyswordsman Posted December 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Agree with Eddy. The days of the "gutty DLS 185lb center" would need to be over if DLS expects to achieve their goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with DLS, They are the #1 team in Nor Cal, playing a Nationally Competitve schedule, and competing for the Open Championship every year... I would say they are doing just fine.... Rollo was “Blowing Up a Team” that didn’t make the playoffs and had SJB and CC to contend with in the playoffs.... Why would Coach A Have to “Blow Up” a Team that has been the Open Runner up for 3 Straight Years.... Because of Folsom???...🤣🤣🤣.... DLS will figure it out...

I just don’t see it.... DLS football program's #1 Stated Goal is to win State. They are 0-3 since 2015 and headed toward 0-5. Anyone who denies there is a problem is not being honest. Do you think the coaching staff puts in all that work to be satisfied with being #1 in nor cal? Do you think Coach A will stick around 5-10 more years if he can't accomplish the #1 stated goal? Then again, they can always change their #1 stated goal to winning the NCS, and developing fiiiine young men.. Doubt that will happen because Coach Alumbaugh still has the fire. He will make the changes or he will leave DLS. Make no mistake. The next 3-5 years are crucial for the DLS football program. The old guard is fading away and the program needs new SBG hardware.

Of course there is a reason you are better suited to be a School president and not the football coach of DLS I think you’re right about alumbaugh but think Lad more aligned with my own sentiments in any event, it’s not their call the call is DLS’s principal’s and it has historically just been whether there is any special admissions receptivity to incoming 9th grader that happens to be a good football player or not Br Robert (assume he’s still there?) was there for most of streak years and returned basically at the end of DLS’s trough years (‘04-‘09) — he’s a bit more receptive to spreading the gospel to the uninitiated than was Br Christopher (Tom brady’s Uncle), who pretty much forbid accepting kids that were coming to DLS for sports particularly football doesn’t line up exactly but very very close to Br Robert (1st term) 151-0 Br Christopher 56-10-2 Br Robert (2nd term) 133-7 Players matter but it’s more fun to beat you when none of our guys would start on your team and kids get more out of that than the alternative and I became convinced this year that a good DLS team, created just with a little Br Robert sort of receptivity to a diversified freshmen class, can compete with any 11 guys socal can put together (and you can still take guys from sacramento) 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the #1 Stated goal is to win State theln its a no brainer that the 140lb freshmen (your words) are'nt going to cut it. But I think there is more to be done, and I think that Coach Alumbaugh is going to make significant changes in the program, because he knows DLS is falling behind. Even Jserra is catching DLS. Not to get off topic, but the Lions 2019 OOS schedule is insanely difficult and if they can pull it off....... I am asking for opinions from the DLS guys as to what changes Coach Alumbaugh should consider, because he is probably 7 steps ahead of us here. Anyone who says "nothing to change, everything is fine" is not being honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know man.... If all DLS cared about was winning state, they could just drop down to D1AA and beat up on San Diego... I do think they care about developing young men and teaching them to put forth their best effort against the best competition and live with the results... I think Coach A is there for the long haul Regardless of how many opens they win.... They may not win 4 in a row but they will win again... After all, they have been to 13 in a row so they are doing just fine... 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
