Its one thing for we as coaches to discuss all the coaching movement etc... but when the general public starts to hear about this type of info on their favorite team or what might happen to their favorite coach on our board they will come. [glow=red,2,300]Is this what we want?[/glow]NO.

I see the general board as a place that is used for covering other topics pertaining to coaching such as how to deal with parents, Player expectations, what others do in certain situations when dealing with these issues. I feel that the occansional other talk is ok, but I agree that it is getting too overran with other useless things such as Sean Taylor dying, I mean just like has been stated we can get that from ESPN and the other sports outlets. Im for keeping it on topics that deal with the Day to day stuff of coaching, etc.
I at first got a little irritated when a couple of my threads got locked/deleted but when in hindsite it was for the better. I appreciate what the mods do here and am glad to be a part of a great site. Tog/ Huey and the others thanks for making this a great site!!!!

Huey, Tog, Moderators
You are doing a great job with this board. Keep it up.
IMO this board should be about coaching football. It should NOT be about who we think will win the heisman, who is taking so and so's place at University of _______ and how awesome this guy played last week. When I come to the general board I like reading about coaching football, not about watching football and things that have absolutely nothing to do with my job as a football coach.
Is a little ok, maybe, but where is the line drawn then, and it makes your job tougher trying to subjectively decide what is ok and what isn't. I'm fine if you squash any and all the "fanboard" talk.
This board is such a good resource. It has really helped me learn about the game of football. That is what I would like to see all of the posts be about.
Thanks again for the work you do running and moderating the site.

Huey, Tog, and Moderators:
I just want to add my 2 cents worth on the side of the scale in support of the work you are doing with this board. I LOVE the fact that this board's focus is on the coaching element of football! The organization of the board into various sub-boards is well thought-out and very helpful. Your decisions about creating new sub-boards (particularly the one for playbook and materials requests), putting the clamps on requests for materials in other boards, and locking threads have evidenced a high level of thought and consideration, keeping the vision of providing a great coaching resource in focus while allowing some latitude in straying a bit from that overall vision. Great job! Keep up the great work!
