Anyone else ever lost a player to another school and your 1st thoughts are "glad those parents are gone."

We had a kid - super nice kid that was talented but was number 3 on the depth chart. Mom was a loudmouth pain in the balls, dad was an artsy type that wouldn't yell if he was on fire. Mom demanded that he play quarterback and then threatened to move him to another school if he didn't. The HC said, "I'll make some calls for you." and a couple days later provided the lady with 3 schools that were interested in him. We were all thrilled when she took her kid and left.

i'll admit, i hate to lose the kid, but i'm excited to lose the parents. He was the type that if he made a mistake on the field, when he got to the sidelines, you couldn't talk to him because he was looking the the stands to see what his parents though/reacted. Borderline uncoachable.

Hate losing players. Sometimes losing a player who transfers to another school is addition by subtraction. If a player is not happy in our program, both he and we are usually better off if he leaves. I would rather he leave than hang around and be a cancer.

A couple years ago when I was at another school one of our players was shopping himself around to other schools. He felt we did not do enough to promote him as a D1 player. I did my best to convince him to stay and he did. Now I love the kid, but his mother is crazy and I should have just stayed hands off and let him go and let mom be somebody else's problem. Because all that happened is we had issues the whole season.
Fast forward and the kid is not playing FBS, FCS, D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO.

There are always others to take their places.
