Post2 is also basically funded by private means not by the legion post, and I think that its about time that Fargo had a second legion team. I do have a problem with Fic. I have known him for a long time. He is an arrogant jerk, and ask him why he was fired after the summer of 1996 when he was an assistant under Gigstad. He is a total frontrunner, and is completely in it for himself, and not the kids. What comes around goes around and eventually Fic will get whats coming to him. I have had many battles with him over the years, and the biggest mistake Post2 made was letting a quality guy like Bill go, and the next biggest mistake was hiring Fic.
most of the teams in the state are sponsored by a legion post as well as other sponsors. yes the use of legion post as the biggest sponsor is dying out because they dont have the money for it, but all the teams still have a legion post attached to their name. so will this new team be the "fargo mr. ernst's checkbook little snowflakes?"
did you just call fiechtner an arrogant jerk and then mentioned gigstad in the same sentence? he was a pretty arrogant jerk too, and from the sounds of it, people that played for him didnt like him a whole lot. cant say ive heard much of the same about fiechtner.
in a post you made about a year ago you alluded to fargo adding a second legion team. sounds like you have your hand in the southside program. you wouldnt happen to be one of the parents sitting at donny bryants table brewing up this new team, much like what happened last year around this time?
letting ibach go was a good thing for the program. his focus was no longer on the team and more on his family. theres no reason fargo wasnt playing in the state championship game every year while he was the coach. early in his coaching career that was the case, and then all of a sudden there was a drop off in his teams performance, right around the time he had kids. ill let you do the math there.
