The Maddox Minute

[Adunk33]

What an awesome idea! The new staff (I’m just putting Maddox on the staff at this point) is really showing a commitment to engaging with fans. Love it!

Last coach we loved about engaging with the fans didn't so hot. Hope this one is better at coaching!

This may just be bad memory + COVID stuff but it seemed the last 4 years or so the engagement went way down. Seemed like everything went quiet post-2016-17. But you are right, in his early days, he was very engaging.

I was talking about Porter.

Ah....That makes a ton more sense.

I knew you were not talking about Donewald

Donewald was too busy winning.

I just hope people remember, when the inevitable losses or controversies occur, that Maddox is a kid. I like Pedon, but if I were in his highly public position, I might be a little more guarded and private with my family. I had a Dad with a high profile job, and it is amazing how mean people can be.

what a nice young man and a great idea, just wish the kid would quit calling me LOL

I have a feeling and hope that either when the season starts or if a season is going badly that we don't see Maddox on social media much.

You ask most grade schoolers these days what they want to be when they grow up and the answer is a youtuber\influence. Times have changed

If the season gets off to a rocky start, I can only hope that our fan base will not take it out on the coach's young son. Where other fan bases will resort to death threats and other stupid forms of intimidation, I do not see that happening here. It's sports, not life and death.

One can hope and I'd like to think our Redbird community won't stand by and let it happen.

Frankly, I think it’s awesome that his dad not only allows Maddox to do this, but seems to really encourage it. Considering the microscope aimed at head coaches I could see a lot of them telling their kids to stay away from posting about the program.

Kudos to dad for being supportive. And kudos to Maddox for the courage to put himself out there.

It’d take a special kind of scum bag to direct anything to his son. Plus I have full faith Pedon is the guy.

Looks like he’s going to record one with Clark Kellogg

The past few seasons were great for learning how to cope
