Cracks me up that he can't keep a straight face during the "translation". He started laughing a couple of times.

Do any of you think that it would be a good idea to show some of these to your parents at a parent meeting, such as "stuff parents say" and "stuff coaches never say"? You can get your point across with a bit of humor or you parents can potentially feel insulted.

I would wager it would be like when you make attempts at calling kids out for their behaviors without specifically naming them. They'll probably just watch it and be like "those people are the worst!" without ever realizing they are those people. |

Thank God I have a great wife to be my guiding light and run my decisions by. |

The ones smart enough would get it and take it in a good way or a bad way. You may be in line for the firing post. The majority of parents will not have a clue and it will be a waste of time.

I'd love to show this at a parent meeting but I know I'd have a pink-slip from the administration before the video was over. I've only been canned once and it was due to a) myself and the entire staff doing a chit job and b) the parents making sure the administration knew it, all season long. I was pretty p-ssed when the pink-slip came down but I wasn't surprised given the amount of complaining that went on. I took the high road, thanked the powers-that-be for the opportunity to coach, went to a rival school down the road and kicked my previous school's a-- the next season. |

silkyiceYup, pretty much. Honestly, I was on the freshmen staff and we did a p-ss poor job that season. We bickered among one another, didn't coach the kids up very well and it was a dysfunctional season. An older, smarter me would have stayed out of the internal conflicts on the staff and focused on coaching but I didn't. However, with that being said, the varsity HC and I sat down and talked about everything and he was willing to bring me back the next year as long as I got my chit together. I had done a lot of work with the team in the off-season and he recognized it. But, the parents had a mini-coup and demanded that the whole staff be canned so the AD stepped in and fired us all. Went 12 miles down the road, coached the freshman and sophs down there and put the wood to my former school's freshmen teams twice.

We tried to use some personal experiences along with some of our close coaching colleagues. this is a pretty close to a "friends" as it gets. LOL |
