Moral of the story, Mauk should transfer to Hawaii or somewhere to be a starter, and take his dad with him. Everybody wins.

They weren't all that talented. Great kids, maybe a bit on the wild side sure but Glendale wasn't exactly a loaded roster. Their quarterback wasn't suited to Mauk's system, and he didn't really have any outstanding WRs seeing as they were underclassmen. The tight end was good but that's because he's a three sport athlete. Defensively they lacked talent: for example, against Rolla, the score was 62-29 at half, 72-65 final score.
Now some of the scores got out of hand for Glendale because of Mauk put his defense in short situations by onside kicking everything unless the score was out of hand and he probably went for 75%+ of 4th downs.
In short, Glendale's problems lie less with Mauk and more with Springfield's inability to develop linemen at all five schools, and because the football talent moves southward to Nixa or Ozark. They're also going to be in trouble because their JV and Freshman QBs aren't ready to be starters by a long shot.
