The problem these days is we have all become critics.  I believe it happens because we watch all the sports channels and the commentaries that constantly second guess and bash coaching and it becomes

It's probably best that Newton and Kirbyville don't play if this is the route the Kats are taking.

You are right.  We all should be very slow to judge.  But some things stick out like a sore thumb and deserve scrutiny.  I have no dog in this fight but if what is being said in this thread is true, i

That is not what was said. They were complaining about lifting on game day. They do not lift on game day during football season. Seeing a kid play on a day he has lifted is as obvious as watching a little league coach tell his kids how to play when he doesn’t know what he is doing.

 

 

 

All you do is stand around and scratch and spit. BTW I have seen some salty baseball teams that lifted on game day.

Without Conditioning & Tackling at practice and already has plans next year to schedule 2A schools for the preseason.  He's just not up for the big dogs of 3A. The Philosophy of play weaker teams to get better is for the "guy who just got dumped and doesn't really got the confidence so he asks the ugly girl to prom" so heartbreaking always "what could've been".

I can speak from an outside and an inside perspective. We just moved back to Kirbyville from San Angelo. My son is a freshman at Kirbyville and plays JV.  We had high hopes of a program that would be competitive. Meanwhile, disappointment set in. My wife drove him 3-4 days a week during the summer from Deweyville to workout. Minimal players (4-5) were there. I don't think they knew or were encouraged to show up. I agree the kids own a portion of their conditioning, but it has been proven that there isn't a void of athletes in Kirbyville. When he comes home and tells me they aren't conditioning enough, there is a problem. The coaches are stand-offish and I have heard of many negative interactions with parents, from the parents themselves, one being a school employee. I've expressed my concerns with a board member and hope that Kirbyville will make the necessary changes to correct this atrocity.

Well this week vs Buna looks like the new game plan is to run the Buna offense. Kids have lost all confidence in this AD/Coach many (8 or 9) have said they will not play for him next year willing to sit out senior year. 

The situation is sad. I plan on making a school board meeting or two to address my opinion not only on the football program but the high school administration as well.  I am willing to spend a few extra tax dollars on a winning program. Taxes are the same now as they were when Alvarez was here and the kids have lost hope in the program and district.

be slow to judgement regarding anything coaching related folks.

this is highschool football, where 98% of kids never excel in the sport

if the coach is teaching them things outside of football, hes doing a job that has no price tag

too many of these small communities in east texas are so quick to say "get that coach out of here" way too soon

You are right.  We all should be very slow to judge.  But some things stick out like a sore thumb and deserve scrutiny.  I have no dog in this fight but if what is being said in this thread is true, it's hard for me not to feel sorry for the kids.  What kind of coach doesn't want to do everything he possibly can to make sure they have the best possible chance of winning ? If you aren't preparing your team to the best of your abilities you are cheating your kids. If kids are already talking about not playing their senior year then the coach has lost his team and they have no confidence in him.  Playing smaller schools is not the answer. If the team is not in condition those smaller schools are going to beat them (San Augustine).  I don't know that I have the answer but with all the upheaval that's gone on in K'ville over the last 9 months it seems politics has taken a front seat ahead of the kids.

      So you are saying a star baseball SHOULD be doing full contact football drills during the baseball season as his Baseball team prepares for the playoffs?

      Roger.  I misread your comment. Perhaps the other sports will turn the corner sometime soon.

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.
