    which one game? Versus Vidor? I hope you not referring to whole seasons, if so do more research. 
     
    ***EDIT******************
    9 wins past 5 years (not counting this yr) 2 wins coming versus Vidor. Somebody inserted foot in mouth without verifying information.

    There are multiple problems with this post. First, Vidor is far from perfection when it comes to the Slot-T. Second, in actuality Jeff learned the Slot-T from Randy Rowe in Livingston. Third, no way Vidor goes into Lumberton and wins with this much on the line. And finally, Vidor has not been relevant since Montana Quirante graduated because they have not had a Mike Linebacker that can make up for all the mistakes the rest of the defense makes. You, my friend robanadana are clueless.

    I am going to agree with this post on one hand and disagree with it on the other.
    Yes, we should all be respectful of the coaches in this area, because all of them have paid their dues and earned the opportunity to lead their respective programs how they see fit. They were hired to do a job, and that job is to produce the best quality football teams they possibly can.
    Now, with that being said, healthy, productive criticism is sometimes warranted and necessary. Coaches are not gods, they are not omnipotent and without faults. Sometimes they have their own agenda and do not make decisions that are in the best interest of the kids as a whole. When these times arise, I think it is our right as observers to point these issues out.
    High School football is about the kids, the schools and the communities. Sometimes, coaches put their own agendas in front  of the best interest of the kids, schools and communities. Those coaches need to be exposed for what they are and this public forum is sometimes the best place to educate the masses on these issues.

    Oh, you would be surprised. Yes, all coaches want to win. But, most coaches want to win their way. I have seen way too many coaches lose because they are too bull headed to change or evolve or even consider that another offense or defense might be better suited to the kids they have.

    Most people see this game and team from their kids perspective not the team. I feel this is a problem because all the kids read this. The coaches read it and don't care what everyone thinks. It's when the kids read it and know their parents and friends parents screen names. Chances are that the parent has bashed the coach at home way more than on the board. This causes the kid to not trust the coach. When this happens, the kids won't play hard for someone they don't trust. I'm not saying agree with every decision the coach makes, but use it as a tool to help your child. This old world is a cruel hard place to survive. If they get screwed over or lose a game because of the coach, there is a huge life lesson to learn in this. It is up to the parent to teach their kid that sometimes life isn't fair and yoi have to overcome that. It is easy to bash the coach or decision maker and call them stupid. What does that teach our kids. These coaches spend a lot of time preparing. The head coaches make pretty good money, but asst coaches don't. Parents need to be parents and raise their kids. I would hope that your child will grow up to be a better person when taught how to deal with adversity

    Pig just because someone has a job doesn't mean they know how to do it well. Now several people have asked me to go back to school and pick up the 30 hrs. i left towards my degree and maybe i will when my wife finishes with her second but my goal is not to coach H.S. or College ball. A bad car accident had me move back home during my last year of college but i'm perfectly fine with what i am doing now for the moment. I believe a coach has to answer to a parent who has concerns with there child playing on their team. Now you can't tell them where to play them but only suggest and i do believe that patience is very important but if a coach has a history of doing certain things that you are totally against then speak on it and if no resolve move around. Too many times we see coaches come in from nowhere not knowing his kids or their abilities and use them in a lesser fashion. 
    Last but not least, I will never dummy down to make someone look good or feel better. I don't care that the coaches read the site, as a matter of fact i hope they do so they can know that people do see when they make bad or careless decisions. If you take it out on a parents child then you should not be coaching anyway, besides the people i talk about know how I feel because i've told them and say it all the time. They can't and won't pay for any of these kids college education and the kids are just there to hopefully enhance their resume'. If a teacher doesn't teach properly she will be removed or fired and coaches are not exempt. I happen to believe the majority of them are their for the kids and the love of the game and some are their for that all-mighty paycheck! Hopefully i answered you or addressed your statement Sir! Never throw a rock and hide your hands is my motto and most people know who i am so you must know i really don't care and its definitely better to rant on here than act a darn fool in public! Lol

    The only people in this world who don't liked to be questioned are those that are so insecure in their abilities that they can't justify their decisions. I know exactly how many hours coaches put in, trust me. And I have been around a bunch of coaches, and what I said is exactly the truth. When you can justify all of your decisions with sound logic and with the best interest of the kids at heart, then the answers to any question a parent has should be easy.

    I don't mind being questioned on my motivation for anything.
    I may not be in a position to judge a particular situation like the one you are referencing. But, I can speak from a position of authority on the overall concept of questioning a coach.
    Coaches get in this business knowing that every decision they make will be questioned. And those that rise to the top have justification for all of their decisions. And the great ones are able to field all questions without trouble, because they know that the decisions they made were done with the best interest of the team in mind.

    Concerns should be directed to the appropriate person. Either the Head Coach, Athletic Director, Superintendent, of the School Board need to hear the voices of the people who truly have concerns about the direction of the program or the agenda of a coach.
    What this Board does is give people a chance to vent their frustration and receive empathy from others who may be experiencing the same issues. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. If coaches are on here and read about some of the concerns then maybe their eyes will be opened to situations that they weren't aware of. Just an opinion, and we all have one and ultimately, on this matter, yours is the one that matters the most. But I would hope that you wouldn't eliminate this as a place where we can come and vent and sometimes criticize people who should be thick skinned enough to handle it.

    That's hilarious PIg you're right but If you desire to be a H.S. coach enhance lives, never dIstroy dreams or futures. I myself traIn and develop youth and choose not to grInd out a H.S. coaches weekly rituals. Call me an armchair QB or sideline critic but criticism Is part of the game and I say to those wIth that coveted degree who chose coaching, If you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.

    I know this all so very well as my stepson Chopper only touched the ball 4 or 5 tImes a game and my boys now are talented and don't touch the ball on offense and are under used. Maybe I am the one they don't care for but my kIds work hard year In and year out and others just show up and get all kInds of opportunities. These coaches are makIng It real easy for them to just concetrate on baseball for next season I tell you. I'm so glad God has a plan for theIr lIves.
