Our head coach opened this year's coach meetings by thanking us all for coaching. We are a pretty successful program but even he has had a heck of a time finding guys to coach.
The threads here about kids just not playing anymore is good, but men also aren't coaching anymore.

I wonder if anybody here can tell us how this can happen. Green Bay is only a small town by NFL standards. It has over 100,000 residents. The town loves football. How can it be that they cannot find anyone willing to coach middle school football?

At a school of 350+ kids we've only got myself and 3 others coaching this year. Had 2 assistant jobs open with 5+ teaching openings and not a single person applied. I think that out of 7 new teachers I'm the only male.

Is there more to the story? Looks like it is just a human "interest" story, the interest (if there is any) simply being the irony based off the schools namesake. If the school was named Lakewood middle school, it doesn't get picked up as a story. |

I think (in general) a lot of it has to do with lack of teachers and all the nonsense that goes on with public education. I'm sure a lot of guys would like to coach, but the hours are conducive to most professions outside of teaching

Varsity squad around here did that last year because they only had 19 kids
Also heard 1st day of practice this year the hc was told he wont have a home field for the season either as the school dragged its feet getting turf
Head coach quit that afternoon
