Coach Saunders won’t make it to next season. Lost to a Bellarmine squad that isn’t great. Lost to Menlo School and just got BEAT DOWN 41-3 by Wilcox. Woah….
Menlo Atherton
- Thread starter Footballgrind
- Start date
It should be noted that the previous M-A mentor was driven out by parents after just one season on the job. That guy never had a chance. Neither does Saunders.
Sounds
Sounds like another mentor going to be shredded in the whirling blades of hovering helicopter parents.
No doubt. High expectations by the M-A bleacher coaches.
IS M-A really a good job? Ravipati had great success, but IMHO, the pressure to continue winning state titles while still holding a full time job proved too much. And all new coaches are compared to Ravipati at that place.
Also, there is ALOT of behind the scenes work at MA just to keep players on track and on the field - "Built by MA". Pappin was a pretty good hire and he was bounced after 1 season AND THEY WON THE LEAGUE. Now Saunders won't even make it to next season? MA will probably be mid to bottom of the league. But the Bay is the one of the best "mostly" public school leagues out there. Who are they gonna hire if they bounce yet another coach? And by they, I mostly mean the people in the STANDS supporting all those POWER 5 recruits out there. We have a ref shortage and next will be a coach shortage if these impossible standards continue. This is not NCAA or NFL. Most HS coaches get paid less than $7,000 per year.
ease up on Saunders.

Ravipati brought the "Built for Life" personal development program to Riordan, something he instituted at M-A. It’s a program for players to “grow and develop as people, and build what it takes to be consistently successful,
its "Menlo ----Atherton" maybe 50-50 but alot of those kids are set up quite well and dont really need a "built 4 life" football coach
Sounds like he followed the lead of the all boys school on the mid peninsula
