Yea, not coaching for spring ball is probably BS. There could be a valid explanation (he has a ton of meetings with regard to these classes), but probably not. If you had met over winter, been discussing the season ect... and he had been a participant and knew he was part of the practice plan, that's unprofessional. If your program puts out a calendar and everyone just rolls in for spring day 1 and decides its practice time.... that's on the HC. In our case it was the former. Our head coach is highly organized and everything was set to roll for spring.

My WR coach walked to a district opponent 3 days before our spring practices started. I don't see anything wrong with that honestly. I think that is much more professional than what is being described in this thread. Still sucks, but much more professional.

If he just finished his degree and just found out he will be teaching those classes next year, I would say now was the appropriate time to resign. Wouldn't it be worse if he already made his decision now but waited until summer to resign? He just finished degree but he knew that once it was done he would be teaching dual credit so it's not a surprise to him. Personally, I wish he would have resigned a lot earlier or that he would help out with spring. He's a good coach and would be able to help us get our kids coached up. Then he could step away and we could hire someone else this summer to continue his good work. It's not the end of the world, but we have to adjust our coaching staff and plans for the spring based on this decision. He's a good dude. I have no problem with him at all but it does affect us in a less than positive way as a staff and program. Did you ask him to help with spring during this conversation?

Friday before we all left school we all congregated in the hall and talked about how excited we were about spring practice starting. His name was on the practice plan. He didn't resign to me. I am a coordinator. He resigned to our head coach. HC told me he told him we really wish he would stay on but he understood.

don't ever use your mom or your girlfriend as an explanation of the decision to resign. They may have played a part in making the decision but just own it. ^ This X 1,000. --Dave

Her brother was flying in from California to visit & we had an open week at the JV level my 2nd year coaching because the opponent didn’t have a JV. She couldn’t understand why I was going to scout our next opponent live instead of being at her parents’ when he got there around 9:30?!? I stood my ground & told her I’d be there around 11:00...dude’s flight got delayed and I beat him to her parents’ by 3 hours. She put up with that & recognized that while football was never before family it was almost as important which meant “WE” could still be a “thing”...without that confirmation, I don’t know if I/we would’ve chose to stay together. I love how much she understands that football is a big part of who I am, that she is proud of how I use it to teach young men to be BETTER men & help them set-up future opportunities both indirectly & increasingly more DIRECTLY through this amazing game!
