  1. It's amazing how far these programs have come. My first year coaching as an 18 year old kid I kept them the old fashion way with paper and pencil. No huddle teams were my nemesis haha. Now we have a guy that does them on an ipad and they're uploaded by the time we get off the field. CRAZY. iScout isn't terrible, it just isn't as easy to use as some of the others.

  3. Last year. Sectional Semi-Final at South Adams. Brutal cold and rain all night. Not the fun kind of mud bowl...unless you won the game...which we didn't lol. One of those memories that both players and coaches on both ends will never forget. Heck, my feet are still cold and wet from the standing water on the sidelines and the 4 inch deep mud. Part of what makes our game so unique.

    It's like the tagline on @CoachVeatch's posts: “You’re either coaching it, or you’re allowing it to happen.”

    Wish I could claim that but both Belichick, and Walsh had that in their books, so I stole it from the best lol.

    Hopefully everyone involved looks back and remembers how ridiculous their situations were, and growth can occur from it. Part of coaching is realizing kids are kids and they'll do silly things in the heat of the moment. We all have. Offer grace, love the kid(s), and then place the proverbial boot up the backside if necessary. Accountability is never bad.

  5. Giving some small school (1A-2A) love here, Pioneer, Eastbrook, Adams Central, and Linton are as strong a programs as any, across all classes. The yearly combined records in the past 9 seasons put them each in the top 15 all classes in winning percentage. If you want more recent than that, the past 3 seasons you'd have to add South Adams and Eastside to that list.

    There's a lot of good small school football going on in the state.

    For every Don Howell, there are 5 Brad Smiths.

    For every Larry "Bud" Wright, there are 50 Lance Scheibs

    For every Mike Goebel, there are 100 Brian Parker's

    Pick your poison

    That's a solid rebuttal, though I'd be more solid with a Jeff Adamson on that list too 😉

    I feel like you skipped over some of the other points made, but you're making your court case, and I can't say you're right, wrong or otherwise. Just trying to provide a different perspective.

    But some do.  And many move around, looking to move up the ladder like most career oriented people do.  Its a lot easier to feed at the public trough for 35 years and then retire without ever having to make a move than it is to challenge yourself to become the best possible version of yourself that you can be.

     

    These two things are mutually exclusive IMO. I understand your point above, and I can certainly agree when talking about college or pro jobs. There is nothing wrong with climbing the latter if you so choose, but the relationships are the best part of coaching. Some lose their way or become burned out constantly bouncing around. If you invest your heart, communities have a way of making you one of their own. You get to see first hand the impact you make on and off the field. There is no hall of fame or internet clout I'd trade that for, and I can speak the same for a lot of my coaching colleagues. This is a great list of leaders, I wish them nothing but the best whatever they choose.
