Excellent Schedule for DLS!!… All the Nor Cal Heavyweights and an OLU team that is getting all transferred up!…. 🤣
Kind of cool to get a De La Salle-McClymonds game. One of my big what if games would be that loaded Mack team under Alonzo Carter against the Spartans
This is an interesting move and very un DLS like….. But there were definitely issues with the Defense being unnecessarily complicated the last 2 years…. When simplified and going back to their standard 4-4 defense the team played much better….. I know the coach was very well liked there so I am surprised this happened, but not totally shocked….I heard that Nate Kenyon is out as DLS defensive coordinator. No idea why or who might take his place. I just hope we don’t see a bunch of coaches come and go from now on. It could make for an interesting year.
He was not going to be playing this year, #13 won the job and is a much better QB especially for DLS…..He was terrible at DLS, not a big loss………he’s an all shorts flag football guy
You think he would have at least tried to pick a quality team in the SLC area that was in the top 40
To me that is a really big move. Doesn’t matter if Eidson is just coaching special teams and safeties. I think his presence on the sideline and at practices full time alone makes a big impact.Some news on the changes to the De La Salle coaching staff

Departure Of Defensive Coordinator Nate Kenion Leads To Key Role Changes And The Return Of A Very Familiar Face • There was no need to overthink it. Sometimes it's best to just go with what works — which led De La Salle football coach Justin Alumbaugh to one of the most proven coaching commodities hesportstarsmag.com
I agree with you…. I think this is a great move for the Program!…..To me that is a really big move. Doesn’t matter if Eidson is just coaching special teams and safeties. I think his presence on the sideline and at practices full time alone makes a big impact.
Before I thought all ties to the Lad era (including TE) were a hindrance for Almbaugh being able to make this his own program. He would always have the comparisons of the past (which lets be real, would probably never be touched
by 99.9% of all programs).
But I personally think he is a good, but not great coach. The program has declined not only for DLS standards, but really any great program (sloppy play, penalties, turnovers etc). I actually will give Almbaugh credit for not having the ego to say no to this move and bringing TE back into the program. And hopefully Almbaugh who it sounds like is taking over the defense will stay open to any “advice” Edison has to offer on the overall defensive side.
Agree on this. Also kudos for Alumbaugh to move from offense to defense in an effort to get everyone on the right seat on the bus.To me that is a really big move.

You'll never know.....DLS would have rolled them. Mack was talented as all hell but had zero discipline.
Folsom barmizvah late June, looking for a camera man. LolYou'll never know.....
Agree with what you're saying, and will also add that they need to upgrade their talent levels, especially on both lines of scrimmage. That has always been the key for Spartan successI agree with you…. I think this is a great move for the Program!…..
There has just been a real lack of Continuity on both sides of the ball the last 2 years with Changing up the defense and the “Spread-Veer” Hybrid offense they have been trying to run since 2018 just doesn’t work…. Too many penalties, Mistakes, turnovers and kids just looking confused out there….
DLS needs to get back to running an offense that they can execute consistently at a high level…. I remember in One of the DLS books reading about how DLS won a game against a good team and all they ran was 7 different plays the whole game…. They can do that and still win, they won’t beat MD or SJB but they can certainly beat all the teams in Nor Cal….
If DLS wants to beat MD and SJB then they will need to change their whole philosophy, but even if they did I don’t think creating a “Super Team” in Nor Cal is even really possible anyway…..
Kids know that they don’t need to go to DLS to get exposure for Scholarships anymore so that just won’t happen…. It’s best for DLS to go back to basics and embrace who they are and Coach up the kids who want to be in the DLS program….
