Our program is small and all my coaches coach both the sophomores and varsity teams. I cannot believe the contrast. Its not the talent discrepancy that is the issue, but the behavior and discipline issues with the younger group is unreal. I have 5-6 kids that can’t seem to figure out our expectations. They have missed over half the games due to discipline issues and missing practice, yet they keep coming back. I’m not even convinced they like football because they don’t seem to figure out their behavior is linked to playing time. I am hesitant to cut them because they are young and might figure it out, but on their current path they may never play another down of football. Our sophomores have been beat by 45+ points with them and without them, so here’s to the future (and I don’t even drink).

We are very sophomore heavy, especially at line this year. And not just sophomores but immature sophomores. During summer I wanted to take my own life just about every day. But they eventually they figured it out. It took the few seniors we had to impress upon them what the expectations were. The coaches worked at it, too, but I don't think we were very successful, it was 99% the actions of a couple seniors. We've gone from thinking we'd barely get out of the season to being 5-1 (and should be 6-0). Good luck!
