That, and with nearly 4 minutes to go in the game the Russell coaching staff quit. They started subbing and running basic plays. Nearly 4 minutes to go and down 13 points and they pack it in. I have seen alot of crazy things happen in 2 minutes let alone almost 4. I was shocked, disappointed and embarrassed. The coaching staff quit. I actually did not catch on to this at first. Another fan pointed this out to me. I was still crying over the roughing the punter. It was a good call just upset it happened and was talking on the phone and telling somebody about it. Then I heard someone say the coaches packed it in and have quit. Started paying attention again and was shocked to see they were right. Ivan McGlone deserves all the accolades he gets and is a hall of fame coach, but that was down right awful.

Agreed. I have been a Russell fan for many years now (probably more than many of you are even old :biggrin, and that might have been one of the most embarrassing momments of my Russell Football game watching. It is a very SAD sight when the players that have been out on the field in the cold rain, and who have busted their butts for you (the coaches) all night, and you throw in the towel and quit. What impression is this suppose to leave for the players???? Also, this would have been a perfect time to work on your 2 minute drill. I sure hope we aren't down by 7 points with 2 minutes to go in a playoff game beacause our players will have no idea what to do because our coaches will have not prepared them. I have been a supporter of McGlone for many years now, and will always be, but I'm am starting to believe that maybe, just maybe a little change in the Russell Football coachng staff could do us good.
