Reader comments: High school football: Turnovers lead to Bonneville victory over Weber

I believe Ted Peterson was a part of the old football coaching staff in 2000 when they were winning? Did he all of a sudden get stupid as the AD?
Weber football has never been great. They have had a couple of good seasons out of what 100 years of existence. Get real
As for when weber made its mark was when you had veteran coaches who demanded respect. Some of those coaches have moved on to other schools and the reason...the parents here at Weber. Maybe they should take a look in the mirror and before claiming that the coaches are those that never wanted to leave high school, maybe it's the parents that are living through their kids!
My disbelief comes from the comments about what a great tradition WHS football has had until recently. The fact remains that WHS football has never really been dominant. Coach Buckwoldt in 1985 and Coach Bosgeiter in 2000 did amazing jobs getting WHS to the top. But those years were extraordinary and not the norm. I don't mean to be negative, but it is the facts.
Whether or not WHS is underachieving or not is subject to debate; however, history shows that WHS has struggled on the gridiron for many years. I'm sorry that that reality hurts some people.
Just maybe instead of pointing fingers at coaches and administration WHS fans should focus on getting their athletes out for football (something a dozen seniors are on the team?). Where is the pride in this senior class, or are they just a bunch of complainers who want to criticize those in the arena willing to sacrifice? Good luck WHS.
Go Warriors!
Blame the coaches or the administration. Blame the school colors. Maybe 288 senior boys hate wearing red and black? How about facing reality, the athletes are not participating. Why--coaches, parents, administration? How about each senior boy who has any athletic ability, who chooses not to play, look in the mirror. The easiest thing in the world is to blame others for your apathy or failures.
Don't tell me that the talent at WHS isn't playing because they don't like the coaching or coaches. What a pathetic existence one must lead, if they refuse to do something they supposedly love because the coach is mean or an idiot, etc.
Last I saw the coaches and the administration are at least doing something. You may disagree with every decision they make, but most of the critics aren't doing anything but complain about everything done by the people in charge. How hard is that?
The 12 seniors on WHS football team are studs--the 288 senior boys watching their buddies sacrifice aren't even worth mentioning. What a let down.
