Are High School Coaches Given Enough Credit?

I've noticed the last couple of days and even weeks how coaches are judged by their actions as play callers and even as role models for their athletes, case in point Coach Gundy a college head coach for his recent comments to a reporter and even some area highschool coaches for what some fans feel like are bad calls. I for one feel like coaches arent given enough credit for what they do. Coaching is a job where everyone has their eyes on you and expections now are so high, not to mention the fact that parents are entrusting you with the well being of their children. For most cases many coaches spend more time with their athletes than they get to spen with their own. Not to mention the salaries arent great unless your at a major Universty or a Professional Team. So many of them could be doing a hell of alot better for themselves however their love for kids and having a positive influence in the lives of youths weather it be highschool or college. These guys should be given a little more respect for what they are doing. Not everyone can a coach so maybe we should start given these men the credit they deserve. ;)

It takes a very special man to be a high school football coach in Texas.

Many of these men pull 100 hour work weeks in the fall.

When you get down to it, they are judged on a 16, 17, or 18 year old trying to do their best on Friday night.  A great coach can get one of these young men to play at 110% every play and beat a team that has better talented players.

The impact that a good coach has on a kid will affect him the rest of his life.

They learn not only about winning and losing, but about character and heart.

A great coach, not only impacts his players but the whole community.

Look at Etheridge in the 1970's with PNG, or Coach Neumann now in Nederland.  Coach Stewart in Dayton is building a legacy in this town that will last long after he stops coaching.

You have to love this job to be successful, which in turn means you are doing it for the kids.

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
