Yes Foley is back on the staffIs there any truth to Foley being back at Allegany coaching this year?
Every one under the sun knew Foley would be one and done at Southern. He's too old these days to stick around when he doesn't think he has the kids to win. Zero loyalty to any one or any school.
But, let's see if there is the usual different standard applied to Allegany: What if there were a team that is replacing its entire defense, defending its championship and probably facing one of the toughest teams it has ever played.... what if suddenly the defensive coach pulls a Roberto Duran.... "No Mas."
Ugh, does that sound like any coach and team we know?
Not sure what you are saying. Foley was at Southern for one year. We all knew it would be for one year for their obvious reasons. Is there another coach you know that is bouncing around from team to team? In other words, Foley won't be around when the bottom falls out at Alco. Bet your life on it.
I for one...was not aware of this and I know a great deal about ALCO football. I guess we'll all see this Thursday hmmmm.Every one under the sun knew Foley would be one and done at Southern.

I know you're not that stupid. Loyalty!!!!! Do we know of any local coach abandoning his program in times of great need. Well.... do we?
Not sure what you are saying.
Well, maybe you are that stupid. Losing all defensive starters.... defending championship.... facing the team from Erie.... (Ugh... gee.... I donno what yer hintin' at there lag.... Ugh... whazz loyalty gotta do whiff dat???.... says B H)
Lag, you are just instigating now just to stir. I believe the FH defensive coach had done already made the decision to retire from coaching well before the scheduling of the CP game. It was mutually exclusive and not comparable to the discussion taking place in this thread.
John made the decision that 2018 would be his final season last summer.Zero loyalty to any one or any school.

Lag if u are referring to McKenny you prove how little you know about FH football. McKenny is a competitor in every sense of the word. He’s not like your guy who jumped ship to go some hyped up paper tiger in hopes to knock off the king of the jungle. I’ve know John for 40 years. He was resolved to be done long before the end of last year.
I’m not going to say Foley is an asshole but I will agree that he went to Southern because he thought that Southern would be the best team in the area. Do u believe he would go to Northern? I sure hope no one is that stupid. He believed what people were saying about FH last year. He went cherry picking in Oakland last year and got a 45 spot run up his rear end in the first half of the playoffs.
John made the decision that 2018 would be his final season last summer.
Lag you’re blinded by you’re own envy of FHs program. If u would take a second and read what you write and discover the back button, you could save yourself from looking like a true hater. You are a smart guy and I admire what you have done in life, however you blow it big when u take shots at a quality, stand up guy like John McKenny. If u knew him you would never say these things.
He Has Coached at Frankfort, Keyser, Allegany & Southern. He has no ties to any of those schools more than Frankfort but he isn't really getting Paid more than a few hundred dollars a year. He is Retired from Teaching in WV and Money doesn't seem to be a problem so I have no bad thoughts of him going and coaching wherever he wants each year. Fort Hill is just a different thing altogether as Coaches have been loyal to their Alma Mater and I sometimes shake my head and think why? like whats the big deal.Lag, you are just instigating now just to stir.
Really? I mean.... Really? You frickin' red-jackets sure circle the wagons after one of your own takes a totally unfair shot at a dedicated coach across town. (Incidentally, that CP game has surely been in discussion long before it was signed and you know it.)
Did you even read this shit:
"Every one under the sun knew Foley would be one and done at Southern. He's too old these days to stick around when he doesn't think he has the kids to win."- BH
You and the rest of the red-jackets can take the below statement and all the rest and cram them collectively up your asses:
He's just an asshole who bounces around the area based on how good he thinks a team might be to make himself look good. - BH

Allegany used to be the same but most of them have gotten older, have kids and have moved on.
FH has a group of 5-6 Coaches that have been there for years and they seem to bring others in all the time and they pass up the others for a year or two and then they just come and go .....
Coaches changing Schools every year seems about normal as College and NFL guys do it all the time
I've always wondered why a few of those guys at FH would stick around Coaching Freshman or JV when they could go within an hour and get Head Coaching Jobs all the time.
Who can remember the last Coach from Cumberland that left to take a High School Head coaching Job out of Cumberland???
it happens all the time everywhere else.
Spring Mills, Washington, Hedgesville, Musselman, Hampshire and even Martinsburg went out and hired Outsiders from other area's
Alan Fidler previously was the head coach at NCAA Division II Glenville State College (WV) where he had a winning record of 45-32 over seven years. He also was head coach at Moorefield High School in West Virginia for seven seasons (’93-’99), and, after an assistants job at Marshall University, returned to Moorefield for an additional three seasons (2001-03). In the ten total years at Moorefield, Fiddler won six West Virginia Class A state championships, going 98-28 in the process and is Now the Head Coach at Patrick Henry High School in Virginia.
Martisnburg's Dave Walker Coached at Hampshire, East Hardy and Now Martinsburg.
I feel these guys are Coaching for Pennies and Should be able to go wherever someone will hire them and let them do what they love to do
I see your point and agree on the Allegany point u make. The Southern move lacked loyalty though. I am sure he is a decent guy but the Southern move was motivated by his idea that they were going to the dance in the West. Lag do u think he would go to Northern and coach that D? If u believe he would, u aren’t who I think u are.
That is my point about Northern. He’s a cherry picker.
Sorry but some of this total horseshit. If the only black coach at alco had a problem with Foley being a racist maybe he should’ve complained to either head coach he’s been under or the administration. Foley is a great coach who rubs a whole lot of people the wrong way that’s just how he is. As far as team hopping, Foley is loyal to people not programs that’s why he followed Preskorn around for 20 years. He stayed the year after he resigned, but he didn’t like the way the team was run so he retired after the season. He didn’t run to southern after that he took a year off then decided he still wanted to coach and Southern gave him the chance to. I’m not sure why he came back to Allegany but apparently he isn’t the d coordinator this year he’s just helping the d lineLag we all had to read thru your Coach Appel tantrums. Of which some of them were true actually to your credit. So if you can dish it you can take it..
Foley was the coach who pushed the whole "listening devices in the FH helmets" ordeal. He got the living snot smacked out of him in the playoffs witH Southern after the MPSSAA shot his mission down unanomously. Foley then bailed from Oakland after one season of crap with their so called greatest senior class in decades. F**k Foley. He's a racist. Ask any current or former black coach from Alco and they will give it to you straight.

It was widely known that after last season that McKenney, Palumbo and possibly one or two other coaches were seriously considering retirement. With 20+ years in the trenches and five championships in the last six years, they have nothing to prove to anyone. It's well earned. Lags assertion that John only left because of the scheduling of Cathedral Prep is laughable. Dude, go back under your rock and don't crawl out until after the Lackey game and if Alco wins you can tell us how great they will be this season.
Everybody talks about retiring years before they do. They even say to friends that this is their last year and it isn't. For many months there were reasons and countless opportunities to post McKenney's formal retirement. It wasn't posted in this forum until recently (as far as I know).... and.... suddenly all the logical stars go into alignment: starters gone, Cathedral Prep coming, championship on the line and a coach that berates the staff after a loss.
What is the truth? Hell if I know. As I have posted countless times: I only add things up by what is posted in this forum and respond accordingly. What is laughable is how the red-jackets always run the same trail: shit on those whom you beat, shit on those who will not play you and in general have an I'm-wonderful-you're-nobody-bite-my-crank attitude.
Above is a symptom of ADS = Appel Derangement Syndrome. ADS can lead to wild conspiracy theories. Be careful, if one does not seek help it can lead to mania, depression, and excessive hatred towards the sweet juicy fruit itself; that would be a shame.
Lag, you are easy. I digress. I apologize for getting you worked up. Go FH, Go Alco.
