Valor HS Football Coaches

JFC, the budget for their football program probably exceeds that of the total budgets of schools in the bottom tertile of the state
 
that's ridiculousness... are there rules about how many coaches you can have? like mentioned above, how much is their football budget? doubt these dudes are coaching for the fun of it on retirement checks.

It “pays” to be a private school!

just my opinion, of course, but i think it can be really good for high school football and for the profile of the quality of the recruits to have a powerhouse like this. they are almost always private schools for the obvious reasons, although usually they are catholic high schools.

the next thing that should happen is that other schools will see valor's success and will go after them by investing in winning. the next thing you know, you have more than one powerhouse program. and, these programs produce a lot of d-1 athletes. they are well organized, well-coached, and well-prepared. and, finally, if our Buffs demonstrate that they are worthy of being considered elite again, we will have far, far more quality guys in our backyard to recruit then ever before.

people have been bitching about the "unfair" advantage of private high schools in sports for as long as i have been alive. if you are tired of losing to them, do something about it. in socal, programs built themselves up to compete-- they invested in facilities, they stole coaches, they did the things necessary to compete and win.

Dumb question-Are they 5A in football now?
 
Now that’s just absurd lol. Most schools are coached by the Al Bundy equivalent, a nobody. Then valor has a bunch of EX-NFL players, crazy.
 
It's good for the national profile of Colorado HS football, and hopefully a good thing for CU. With that said, it's ****ing ridiculous for the competitiveness of HS football in Colorado. They should just play a national schedule and leave the "CHSAA 5A State Championship" to the rest of the field.

Yep, Colorado teams should refuse to play them. I know that recruiting happens as often in public schools as private ones, but this is bull****.

There is precedence in WA state - albeit slightly different circumstances.. 2A teams refused to play Archbishop Murphy (private, Catholic) and all but 2 forfeited due to unfair advantage and "player safety concerns" The school had petitioned to be promoted to 3A league but was denied for some reason.

Yes, you're well aware of how much it goes on at a bunch of other schools who have the admission numbers to get open enroll kids into their schools, but Valor is on a completely different level from even Mullen and Regis. For most HS programs in CO, playing Valor is like playing a small D2 program. Seriously. There are a few who have recruited well enough to be competitive (Pomona, Creek, and Grandview mainly with the occasional Eaglecrest squad).

Yep, see how many kids get offers with 7-8 forfeit wins on their schedule.

Their entire schedule should be national games. If they can afford 2 pro coaches at each position, they can afford the travel.

They also have there own broadcast of the games. The National teams they play broadcast the games they play on the road and Valor broadcasts the games in Colorado. Great exposure for recruits.

I went to Columbine.....so I'm a little biased here, but I'd like to see them play Valor regularly. What they do is so hard to gameplan for (They throw the ball about as often as Army does) so they'd be competitve with Valor IMO.

Columbine, Ralston Valley, Monarch, etc are definitely tough teams to scheme against and stop for 4 quarters. Most teams just can't hold up to the physicality and beating those offenses give every single play. Columbine probable gets the most talent of those three programs and has been doing it for longer, but Valor would still beat them 8/10 times.
