Coach's Wants Vs Their Athletic Children's Needs


Reagan

Recommended Posts

This topic is in general reference to the Anahuac coach and reportedly good athletic son.  Curious of the opinion's of others here:  

Given that the son, any coach's son, has the potential at being a great QB, should the Father/Coach find a coaching opening where his son will get the best possible training?  And then once the son graduates then the coach find what he wants?  For instance, if receivers job came open at Westlake under Todd Dodge, would it be wise to take that job for 3 years and Dodge train his son knowing Dodge's history at developing QB's?   Or, should the coach do what's best for himself at the time and what ever happens to the son just happens whether it's good or bad?   Thoughts?!

A coach/father's first duty is to his family. It is likely that he could find a situation where he can combine the two objectives if he does his homework. If the father/coach were to seek the "absolute best" opportunity for his son and it did not happen to be his first choice for himself, it would certainly be noble and valid to put his son first and then seek his best place at a later date. It would not be uncommon for him to be able to accomplish both objectives in one shot.

Right now Nederland is a dumpster fire and the current administration is taking a ton of heat over the volleyball coach the only varsity coach at Nederland that lead a team to the playoffs heading to PN-G

Do what's best for the kid, only if it's best for the others kids as well.

In that scenario, coaching WRs at Westlake under Dodge would be better than most of these other jobs I hear this hypothetical coach may be considering. 

IMO, this hypothetical coach should've either a) made this move last year or b) stayed where they moved to last year.

What would keep him from doing this 3 years in a row? Maybe doing this 2 years in row. Unless the kid is really the next NFL MVP QB from Texas.
