So watching Tittle Town on Netfix. So GHSA rules a kid ineligible and takes a win away, after 1st ruling him eligible??? The kid moved from one state to another. I get if he played near Valdosta and just claimed he moved. But from Cali to Georgia. And the reason he was ruled ineligible is because his parents gave an interview to ESPN and said they planned on trying to fix their marriage after the season??? The kid moved because Cali wasn't playing, but the kid moved and lives in Valdosta. He doesn't live in the neighboring town, he lives in Valdosta!
But that not why they are screwed up....no they then let the kid go to another Georgia school and he is eligible!?!?!?!
How can you start a season at one school, play a game at that school and then transfer mid season to another school??? Just because his mom and dad went to court and his mom now gives full custody to Dad???
I get it you hate Rush Propst. But you screw the kid over because you hate a coach who yes is a bad image for HS football.
What is wrong with youth and HS sports...ADULTS! Only reason this kid could play for another Georgia HS was because that HS's coach isn't Rush Propst....you can't justify any other reason.
Rush Propst is a different story.....but this, this was wrong for people who say they care about kids!

This is what happens when coaches forget its not about them. Its about these kids....too many coaches have forgotten why they started coaching. They start believing that it is about them, mostly because media and others start making it about them. And most will not allow their ego's to see that they stopped making it about the kids and have made it about them.

Buy rubbing alcohol, fill 5 gallon bucket with several gallons. Soak them for about 5 minutes, then let them air dry. The alcohol kills any and everything, and if you use menthol alcohol will kill the smell. do this every Saturday after the game, they are dry by next practice.....and with the covid freak out going on, it helps with that as well.

Give back to the community. Our kids work youth camps, youth flag football and are at youth games. Be a role model for the younger kids.

He texted you....get out when you can. Sorry but any HC that doesn't honor the relationship enough to sit down face to face, man to man and have a conversation is not someone I want to work for/with. That is some unprofessional BS right there. The text was from the now Frosh HC, not the Varsity HC just to be clear, idk if some people are thinking it's the varsity HC. I havent heard from him in terms of my role with the team in a while. I would go see the Varsity HC right away....if he is ok with how this was handled, then I stand by my statement...get out

Sorry but coaching something you know nothing about is simply malpractice. 1st if you are coaching kids who have been playing since they were 4-5 years old. So when you say something wrong they will know and you now have lost your team. 2nd by coaching them wrong you have a negative impact on them and their success. I suggest you show some integrity and simply refuse the job and state why. I dont teach math, because I am not a math teacher, what makes you think it's ok to coach baseball when you are not a baseball coach.
Sorry but what you are doing is simply wrong and if its all about the money, then it's even more wrong..

My son doesnt want a jacket either. Says nobody except the scrubenies wear them... So he has the letter, the stripes and all that but no jacket.
The school I coach at still hands out the letter and everything as well, but I rarely see a jacket in the stands...

So my son will be a senior QB. Since it is cold and crappy here in Wisco he was looking for some time to throw. So he signs up for a 7 on 7 "try out" for a "tourny" team. It was 3 hours of indoor work for $100, since gym time is around $100 and hour I said sure. He gets some reps and it was reasonably priced.
So we go, as a parent had to come. He works out (this was not a tryout by any stretch if the imagination!). Has fun throws a ton of balls. After the "coach" (22 year old kid fresh out of college) proceeds to meet with some kids one on one and then others as a group with parents. Now the fun starts. This 22 year old QB/Offensive Guru(trust me talked like he was Bill Walsh), proceeds to tell these parents that "I coached 6 D1 scholarship players last year and have already gotten commitments from several D1 coaches who will be at our games". "7 on 7 is the future and if your son is going to get recruited he needs to play 7 on 7 so coaches see him". Blah, Blah, Blah...and "it will only cost you $2700.00 for your kid to join our team, this is an investment in his future". " I will make him a D1 ________________ Player".
I cant make this stuff up!
Of course I am rolling my eyes. So here is the kicker, he doesn't tell anyone if the kid made the "travel team". Nope he sends out a text the next day, and guess what....every kid has made a travel team!
So $2700.00 for 4 tournaments, guaranteed. However this doesn't cover the food for the kids, only tourny fees, travel and hotel. 5th tourny if they make "National Championship" will be extra! No set "practice schedule" either.
So did the math and if every kid pays this guy would take in $80K! So I did some digging, found the links for the tournys and the avg fee is $500 a team, he was going to field 2 teams, for $4K in fees. They would drive so lets say another $2K in gas. Hotels for each, say 10 total rooms. Maybe another $4-5K....so lets say maybe $15k in fees (uniforms included). That's $65k! for a couple months worth of "coaching"!
Sad part was, I am sure most of these parents bought this crap and signed up! I can't make this crap up!
So a 22 year old former 3 string TE, hooks up with a Cross fit gym owner, starts a 7 on 7 team and makes $60-65K in a summer!
NO my kid isnt playing, (he made the A team travel team...coach didnt even know my kid's name)....lesson here, we need to talk to our parents about this crap....

As a former Director of Security at a D3 private school I can tell you it is all about the numbers. The HC had to recruit 100 freshman football players a year, no joke 100. It's about the money, he knew half would be gone by end of 1st semester, he knew 20% had no business on a college football field, but if he made his numbers the business office was off his as$. Any kid who wants to play/be on the team at most, not all but most private schools will be on the team, especially if he is a full tuition kid. Now they wont travel or dress for home games, but they will be in the team photo...and no they were not very good, avg but not contenders.

We had an exceptional running back and hybrid OLB/SS this last season. He finished up with all-state honors this season and last season and is certainly athletic enough to play NAIA, D2 or D3 ball. He had recruiters knocking on the doors last year but he told them he didn't have any interest in playing college ball. He had a change of heart after this season and is looking to play somewhere. However, he hasn't had anyone knocking on his door this year so we're laying the ground work his recruiting. I've never run into a situation like this and am wondering how much his lack of interest last year is going to impact him. It's not. Those schools NAIA, D2, D3 all work year to year in recruting. They are all on 2020's right now. They were on 2019's at this time last year. Not a single school at that level had a 2020 recruit board in their offices last year at any time. They'll start working on 2021's after and only after the 2020 class is signed sealed and delivered. The only people working ahead and who would be impacted by him saying nah no thanks last year would be FBS and some FCS's you said he's not at that level. His recruitment has not been impacted at all. Get out there get his tape out there and happy hunting! I will respectfully disagree, in a state filled with D3 schools, I can tell you for a fact that most of them were talking to Juniors last year, and are still talking to them as seniors this year. They are talking to this years juniors as my kid is a Junior... They recruit just like the big boys do, at least the good ones do.

What idiot teaches not to read guards... He's in the unfortunate position of being over his head without realizing he's over his head.. But, that happens when your ego is bigger than your knowledge base. Thankfully, he's learned to avoid me. Had a Dad one year who was a "bleacher coach". One game screamed out so loud everyone heard him "you need to block the Defensive end!" after his kid who played QB got drilled by the 5 Tech. Problem was we ran Veer and his kid was to have read the 5 tech, it was a clear give read. After the game he came up to me and asked why I didn't block the DE on 3 plays that his kid got planted on? I then explained the concept of how we ran veer and how his kid is at fault for getting planted not me....Only I didnt say DE, i said 5 tech, and he then asked what the heck i was talking about as he wanted me to block the DE, my response was exactly....and i walked away.

1 D1 program in the state, ranked top 25 every year, recruits big boys mostly. But we have the best D3 schools in the country for football and they recruit in state kids heavily. No NAIA, and No D2. realistic expectations right, i mean if your a stud they will find you and they will recruit you. If they arent, in most cases its because you just arent that good. Nothing wrong with playing D3 getting an education and having fun in college. I don’t think it’s the smartest move, if it comes with crippling student debt. Easy to let an emotional decision lead you down a path that will cost you the rest of your life. Most of these D3 programs are State schools, so cost is not way out of line. Private schools, yes crazy money...CRAZY!....but at a State school you can be in 7-10K a year range which isn't great, but also not crippling.

Middle School - CA - Can't have contact with them until they have graduated from 8th grade. Undue influence. The AD's can go and have generic sports talks and take names for interest lists, but they won't let coaches go and directly interact with the kids at all. And most of the schools won't distribute materials/flyers to the kids, too much work/trouble even if the materials are provided. I tried that and was told that at 1 school they just dump the materials in the trash can, don't even try to get it out. That leaves standing in the cafe looking for candidates. But when you are an off-campus coach (who happens to sit in an office in the library), and you don't have anyone on staff that is on-campus, it limits what can be done. The guy that took over for me was on-campus and got 6-8 kids to come out, so it is valuable. WTH??? Can't speak to middle school kids in your own district??? That's crazy!

If you’re one of those guys who Hates homecoming week I believe you are in the wrong profession in high school coaching. High school sports are about fun and being competitive. If what you are doing on O and D require your kids to be so locked in that they can’t enjoy homecoming, you’re part of the problem in ruining high school football. zonedive60, 1st let me welcome you to the board. Good to see new blood. 2nd what you will find here is some good information and good people willing to share that information. But you will also find some seriously thin skinned people, some coaches that lack true leadership skills. Some who can deal out constructive criticism fairly well but cant take it as well as they dish it. Which is strange given most on here are teachers and you would think that since they preach about accept constructive feedback and be coach-able they would be more acceptable to new ideas and feedback. You will also find that they have rules, many rules, they expect and demand that their players follow those rules, but not necessarily that they follow them. See what is good for the Goose is not necessarily good for the Gander. Again a ton of great people here. Good people who share what the know. But some have forgotten that for the most part its not about the Win, as it is about building young men who will be future leaders. Football ends, it ends for everyone, but being a good man, husband, father, these are the lessons we should be focused on. We coach kids, and for the most part someone else kid. Kids need to have fun. If everyone in school is having fun and your not, well you resent the person who is killing your fun. Have some boundaries, but let the kids be kids. They will be old men soon enough, they will have to work soon enough....

I always speak to my guys 1st. Then I interview the complainant. Then re-interview my guy. But unless there is rock solid proof of wrong doing, my guy gets the benefit of the doubt 1st. You gotta trust your people.

Just don’t get why that should be the case. If a school is willing to take them I just don’t see who it really hurts. How about fairness? If a family makes a legitimate move, fine. If there's an academic reason for moving, of course that's OK. Transferring to play on a better team sounds OK to you? Maybe his old team would be better if he didn't transfer. Life isn't fair. I am so sick of this fairness crap. Is it fair for my kid or any kid to play on a crappy team, crappy coach, crappy scheme, with crappy support and crappy equipment, just because he lives in X town. Fair, if life was fair, squirrels would have machine guns and Hawks wouldn't F*(& them....fair. Like it or not there are good coaches and bad coaches. Why is it fair to stay in a bad coach's program? Fair....screw that, earn your salt, nothing in life is fair, and frankly the sooner we teach kids this and stop trying to make crap fair, the better off they will be when life jumps up and kicks them in the nuts, because life will and it inst fair.

It doesn't say that? It says that they spoke to the sheriff. It doesn't say that Law enforcement was a driving force for canceling? I am sure the Sheriff says what all LEs say, "we will ensure the safety or the players and the fans". Which is cop talk for a bunch of coppers on OT making sure everyone sees them and that nothing stupid happens.

This is some whiny crapola...why is 8 extra minutes 'unsafe"? I coach at small school, we play 12 minutes it's not unsafe. every time some whiny person wants something they claim "its unsafe" thats BS.
