Jim was a tremendous coach, friend, and family man. Enjoyed the opportunity coaching against him over the years, but loved all the conversations we had. He fought a courageous fight and now can rest with no more pain. Thoughts and prayers to his wife and children.
It’s with profound sadness that we share the passing of a true Mariemont Warrior.
Coach Jim Barr coached LBs from 2013-16, was DC from 2017-19, 2025, and provided staff assistance in 2020, 2021 and 2024.
He also coached bowling, soccer, wrestling and track with MHS.

When your number is called, be ready to make a play! Whether it's in 42 minutes of play or 6, make your time worth it!

4 teams from the AFC have been to the Super Bowl in the last 11 years (10 for three if those teams), 6 different teams the last 25 year, yet people complain about the lack of parity in baseball.

This goes for all levels of sport. I see it everyday at younger levels too. High level coaches only see what they want to see and miss players that would make their teams/programs special. It's a shame!
Trinidad Chambliss was a 0 star and Fernando Mendoza was a 2 star coming out of high school.
Both had to beg their way into college football.
Both had and have special makeup and incredible work ethic.
The coaches that knew them the best growing up, were probably telling college coaches they were special but the college coaches were reliant on the rankings to formulate their opinions.

This post is sickening.
Mahome's loses (hasn't been often), it's "he's hurt or he had no one around him."
Lamar loses, it's "he has no one around him."
Burrow misses the playoffs it's, "He has no defense."
When Allen plays great in playoffs, but loses, it's he "choked."
If Josh Allen doesn’t make the Super Bowl with a playoffless Mahomes, Lamar and Burrow…
What does this mean for his legacy?

Joe Burrow has accounted for 28 points the last 6 quarters of football! 14 for the Bengals and 14 for the opponent.
It's time fans hold him accountable for his play. He's not what you think he is.

He's a winner!
“The truth is, you don’t need the most stars, hype, or rankings. You just need discipline, heart, and people who believe in you, and you need to believe in your own abilities. I hope this moment shows you that chasing your dreams is worth it, no matter how big or impossible they seem.”

When you use kids and youth sports to brand yourself for exposure (as an adult) you're in it for the wrong reasons.

Organizational fine loading... no way anyone cleared him of not having a concussion here, especially after a week missed due to a concussion.
Tee Higgins is a human highlight reel—and a heartbreaking symbol of everything wrong with player development, health, and safety in sports.
The biggest concern in the first few weeks after a concussion is secondary occurrence. That’s not debatable. A brain that hasn’t fully recovered is dramatically more vulnerable to injury, and the consequences compound fast.
Earlier today, Higgins hit his head on the turf twice against the Bills.
Both times, he stayed down.
Both times, he held his head.
Both times, he looked visibly rattled and unsteady.
And yet—after the first hit—he was cleared to return.
Whoever made that decision failed him.
This isn’t armchair analysis. Fans everywhere are saying they “felt ill” watching him stay in the game. Casual viewers could see it. Former players could see it. Anyone with a basic understanding of concussion risk could see it. And then the worst-case scenario unfolded—he took another shot to the head.
That is not bad luck.
That is negligence.
Concussions are not isolated events—they are neurological stressors that destabilize the entire system. On the backend of recurring concussions, I routinely see:
• Insomnia
• Chronic pain
• Mood disorders
• Hormonal imbalance
• Blurred or double vision
• Anxiety and panic disorders
• Obsessive-compulsive symptoms
These aren’t fringe outcomes. They’re common. And they don’t just affect careers—they affect marriages, families, identities, and lives long after the cameras move on.
When staff, coaches, and medical teams rush clearance decisions, they aren’t just managing “return-to-play timelines.”
They are gambling with someone’s nervous system.
It’s sickening but true: the system still prioritizes availability over health, optics over biology, and short-term performance over long-term consequences.
Tee Higgins deserved protection, not pressure.
He deserved patience, not protocols designed to check boxes.
He deserved to be treated like a human being, not a replaceable asset.
If this moment doesn’t force a reckoning around how concussions are evaluated and managed—especially early in the return window—then we are willfully choosing outcomes we already know are devastating.
I see them every day.

Hope he stays all 4 years at Michigan! He completed 8 passes for 63 yards yesterday. Julian Sayin continued to make his case for the Heisman!
This is why humility is the best policy
Bryce Underwood, who was the Number 1 ranked recruit in the nation, said “It’s over for Ohio State”, before ever putting on a jersey
Today - He was 8-13 for 63 yards and an interception
