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.

      All the time huh... I can get on the phone with 7 kids that all went on to play college baseball.  DI, DII, and Juco.  Out of the 7 kids, 6 pitched and NEVER once did a coach limit their pitch count.  All within the past 2 years. "School do not want them playing" have you ever watched the UA All American football game or the US Army football game?!?!  EVERY top high school football player in the country is there...PLAYING 🤦‍♂️ With NIL and the transfer portal, more kids are willing to go play at smaller schools.  Why...???  Playing time and they know the following year they can transfer to a bigger, better school. Ex... local football standout...3 star skilled position player (RB, WR, CB,) on the cusp of being a 4 star.  Has offers from 3 D1 power 5 schools and 9 offers from non-power 5 schools.  The 3 power 5 all say the same thing... come in, develop, redshirt, and in a year or two you might be starting.  The 9 non-power 5 say this.... You'll be competing day 1 for a starting position.  A vast majority of kids are going to say yes to being able to compete for a starting position and playing time day 1 because they know after 1 good year they'll be able to hit the portal and move to one of the D1 power 5 schools.  Jared Verse is a good example.... Played at Albany.  Had a good season.  Transferred to Florida St. Top 20 NFL draft pick.

      Much tougher regular season schedule on tap for the Brahmas next season… They carry a 30 game regular season winning streak into next year… IF they get through that non district slate with it in tact district shouldn’t be a issue.

      Happens all the time.. College coaches limiting their pitch counts in high school. My suggestion is to talk to some high school coaches and see what they are told by their players..  As for football Sr. all star football games all you have to do is look at local and state all star games.... you really think the best players in the state of TEXAS are going to small colleges like SFA, McNeese, Lamar and etc... You will rarely see any SEC, Pac 10, Big 12 kids there.. why their school does not want them playing.
