ILLINOIS PREP FOOTBALL DONE RIGHT 

What is Deep Dish Football ?

Deep Dish Football at one time was not named Deep Dish Football but just a old group of coaches in the 50's that would hang out at Southside Neighborhood Bar Saturday night and talk about there week in coaching. Soon these coaches got old and retired and passed on the tradition to other coaches (i.e. Sons and other younger coaches). In 2014 disgusted with what was going in Illinois High School football with greed, too many middle men, parents, journalists publishing players injuries. (FORUMS, Message Boards trashing kids and talking about injuries) People just making a profit to gain on kids dreams to be playing college football. In many instances college coaches have reached out saying that they don't even know these so-called recruiting journalists. They decided to have some fun and meet up to mock some of the so-called media "experts" (WHO NEVER COACHED IN THEIR LIFE OR SCOUTED) in high school football and their players to watch.  Not to mention the fact that most of do not care about the sport of football and just see easy dollar signs. Also one of the main things too of this website, was people saying they represented the whole state of Illinois but never been south of Joliet in their life. 5 Publishers have been selected and all five have done a wonderful job except for some hiccups. From 2015-2019 A Panel of coaches use to do the rankings, but since of busy schedules they decided hang up the rankings format. In 6 years Deep Dish Football has been the go to source for College Coaches from every level. Peter "Coach Big Pete" Leinweber former coach and now scout does his Illinois Recruit Watchlist. Publisher is responsible for Watchlist, Coverage, and Awards given during the season. Peter "Coach Big Pete" Leinweber is now recognized as the leading recruiting analyst in Illinois and one of the best in the Midwest. Highly respect among D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO Coaches/Football Programs. He does one thing that no one in the business does, he tells the truth. Known for his "blunt" talk and truthful recruiting talk. Coach Big Pete lives by one code, "RESPECT THE GAME OF FOOTBALL".

"I never claimed to be a journalist, it would be disrespectful to call myself a journalist.. Just like a journalist calling himself a football expert who never played, scouted, or coached. 
Im a blogger- WITH HORRIBLE GRAMMER" -  Coach Big Pete

AGAIN RANKINGS & STARS MEAN NOTHING TO COLLEGE COACHES

As We Found Out In Past Years- Recruiting Journalists that are responsible with rankings and stars- HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. Never Played, Never Scouted, Never Coached. These so-called journalists do not care about the kids but what is in their bank account. Recruiting Stars have long dirty history of Boosters/Alumni paying for them.
