Coaches:
One of our ALL - TIME incredible coaches at Piedmont, Bob Muenter is under siege from Alzheimer's and not doing great. He was a treasure trove of great memories and funny stories...total(26 years as a Head Coach at Piedmont).
We are doing a commemorative DVD that will encompass many eras of Piedmont football along with the period he coached, that DVD is being put together now.
So...that obviously causes one to think...How Do I Want To Be Remembered?
Of course, there are thousands of Coaches on this board, and when you have lost Your great coach or a Great teacher/coach of yours, does that thought ever cross your mind?
How do you want to be remembered?
For yours truly, a coach that taught his players how to overcome the odds, and win in many facets of life with hard work, humor and integrity, and don't forget innovation!

Coach Bryan: I'd like to be remembered as a student of the game, as someone who paid football knowledge forward whenever I could, and as a coach who inspired players to coach as well.

I would like to be remembered as a coach who taught life lessons through the game of football. Lessons such as: love (for players and of the game), respect, work ethic, overcoming adversity, discipline, fundamentals, giving great effort, loyalty, and dedication. This is done in a way that pushes kids to their ultimate potential - sometimes the easy way and sometimes the hard way.
I attempt to do these things through what I tell my players and how I treat them, but also through how I live. Hopefully my players observe, understand, and appreciate that example.

I want to be remembered as a coach who respected the game and all the values that it offers and imparted those life lessons to each one of my players.
I want to be remembered as a coach that respected my assistant coaches and the opposing coaches that I faced and known as a fair and good man.
I want to be remembered as a coach that respected and cared about all my players and their dreams and hopes,that I was generous with my time and encouraged excellence in all of them.

I myself don't care to be remembered as much as I care that the lessons I tried to teach my players were remembered.

As a man of the highest integrity that held the well-being of his players both on and off the field above anything else. A man that not only spoke to you about the importance of character, commitment, and confidence- but modeled it for all to see-while at the same time doing so with a good heart and a sense of humor.
If you approach your profession the way that you should, you won't have to worry about being remembered- kids see through the coaches that put up facades and remember those who are worth remembering. I can still tell you word for word the speech my coach gave me when I was crying my eyes out my last high school game. I respected and still respect the hell out of him.
BTW- excellent thread kurtbryan

As a man who truly cared, and tried to make a difference in the lives of all players. COuld care less about wins/losses (although I like to win) . The life lessons we try to teach is what this job is all about. Simply put I hope my players remember me as someone who cared enough to expect their very best on the field, off the field, and down the road.

1. A good man, husband/father, role model/father figure to those who need it.
2. Great work ethic....would put the time in to be great.
3. Knew the game and loved every minute of coaching.

to steal from another thread...
I want to be remembered as the fat o-line coach who could bench more than the kids...
or maybe just a guy who loved every minute of coaching football and always gave the kids a chance to be successful.

I want to be remembered for running the 3-3-5 and the spread gun because they are fun and the fans like them and they give inferior athletes a chance to win! YEAH!
Kidding.
Very simply, I'd like to be remembered as someone who made a positive difference. That's it...

I've been on here enough to know that none of us really think about how we will be remembered unless we're asked. I honestly have never thought about how my players will remember me until I read this post. Quite frankly, like many of you, I don't worry about it.
If I had to say something, it would be that I didn't compromise my beliefs, integrity, values, just to win games. Like some people said, I respected the game and did it the "right" way.

I'd like to be remembered by my players as someone who refused to accept anything less than their best, who taught them what they couldn't learn themselves and someone who showed them what Jesus is like by my words and actions (still working on that one  nowhere near there). hopefully, they might want to follow Him too. |

I still have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard at that Einstein/Jacka-- post ;D
With each post on this thread it increases the value of the coaches on this board, because they're contributing to this invigorating discussion, and teaching (us) peers a few things more about principles worthy of being remembered for...

I want to be the guy that:
1. Believed kids can do more than any one ever thought they could.
2. Dared to be innovative.
3. That never let my ego become so big that I believed I was the reason for the team's success.
4. Brought out the best in my players.
