(Probably should have put this in the 2007 season list, huh?)
So last year, I was helping out our Varsity coaches, by being their "booth bitch" scouting tendencies and helping the DC not completely lose his mind. Helped them stay in a few games, and even helped them win a couple. Coach asks me to write the defense for next year (3-4) and to help come up with some ideas to help the O-Line (Zone/Trap Scheme)
I had everything all set to coach full time, and be an effective part of the team, when things hit the fan two weeks before the season and we lost our childcare.
Then, the AD who saw me at the games LAST YEAR, and who knew I was coaching this year, it had been expressed to him several times, says on the Friday before the first practice, that I cant coach with the team, due to "Problems." Well turns out these problems were from ten years ago when I was Head JV coach, and (to be honest) was an insubordinate ass, and he had held onto it until now. Took me calling a lawyer for things to allow me to get on the field.
So things are rolling along, we win our first two games, when further off-the-field stuff hits said oscillating air moving device, and have had to quit after the second game due to combination of family and finances. (They have lost the two games since.)
I guess the only reason am really posting this is not for sympathy, but just to let you guys know, enjoy this moment, dont gripe or wish for a better team, work with what you got, because this is one guy who would rather be in your spot if he could, and is seriously fiending for grass and sweat.
As the Old Football Coach once said, " I would rather coach football and LOSE than win a gold medal in figure skating."
