Whomever takes over will have a good group to work with. Will be a good situation for the next coach. Nothing changed on that front. Also, no one ever used the word “dominant”, you made that up.

Which Slot T team beat Newton in back to back years?

Harmony absolutely and unequivocally "does not have better athletes than OF".

There are absolutely and unequivocally “not” better athletes at Harmony.

I do agree with you on the job Jenkins did at Harmony but that doesn’t mean the new OF coach that they are hiring will not be successful. You could probably see Breaux sticking around OF longer than Jenkins. No reason to throw dirt on the grave of OF.

Defends his right to "think for himself and form his own ideals", does not like it when others "think for themselves and express their own ideals". Really, just doesn't like it when someone points out the fallacy and inconsistency of their posts.

So, which teams is it good to "evolve as a team"? by passing more? Maybe OF wants to "evolve as a team" like "Franklin "evolved as a team", Without passing more.

Glad Franklin has not "evolved as a team".

I would be surprised if they go to Region 3. If they do, they are going to pull a whole new district and teams with them. I think the SETX 4A opt ups ended the chances for Carthage to come south.

Understood. You are "being silly" if you believe a team that went to the playoffs and lost to FBM 21-19 was not competitive. If they scored 4 more points against FBM would they have been "competitive"? Were they "4 points" away from being "technically competitive"?

OK. PNG was the only competitive team in the district.

You were “competitive” this year.

None, OF lacks players sufficient for winning a State Championship.

None of the Champions this year run the Slot T.

He pulled off one of the best coaching jobs I have ever seen in his first year at Harmony. Watched film of them early in the season that year and thought there was no chance they could even be competitive during the season. I predicted 0-10, They ended up turning it around and making a SF appearance.

Could go either way. Many of them have revolving doors with AD/HC combined as well. I think it is a good transition for a potential HC candidate that is currently a coordinator. They get full control of the team without having to deal with the non football issues

Will be a good opportunity for a coach that is trying to move up. A successful coordinator moving into a HC role is a step in the right direction.

You have not heard of “tryouts for baseball”? It is never “one kid”, once they know they can be in athletics instead of PE they will keep coming.

Understood. What do you do in the Fall with a kid who claims he is going to be on a team in the Spring that he has not made? Keep him in athletics till February and when he doesnt make the team or doesnt show up, just keep him? Because it is too late to do a schedule change. He effectively consumed resources that could have been utilized on a player who is actually playing and wants to play.

I have seen it every year. There are many that attempt it. Most programs do not allow non-football kids in athletics for all of the reasons that I mentioned. If a kid is a returning varsity player for a spring sport they are sometimes allowed in particularly for baseball or basketball. Everything else, no way.

I realize it fully. SRs after football that are no longer playing other sports are not allowed to hang out with the kids still playing sports only to detract from their efforts. The reason that SRs are removed is because they frequently cause discipline problems for the program after they are no longer playing sports. This is the same reason that kids not playing football are not allowed in athletics because the vast majority are only trying to not be in PE and thus work against the program. They will all say that they "are baseball" or "are powerlifting" and then when the season rolls around they never materialize, yet they consumed resources for the whole year and there is nothing that anyone can do as the year has nearly passed. They were simply dead weight to the program for the whole year.

Understood. When you were coaching, How did you handle kids in athletics that had no interest in being on a team but did not want to be in PE? That told you at the beginning of the year they were going to in powerlifting, baseball or tennis and then made no effort to be on the team.

Excellent! If you have not already, add this to the program just before you send them out and tell them: "Wherever you go, do not draw any conclusions until you understand all of the factors that the AD deals with" and "Always assume that the person who is in a position of leadership and runs an athletic program for a living, likely has insight that you do not have regarding the program".

Yes, please keep "sending coaches" into the world.

Understood, I know what I am talking about while you do not. Would love to hear what school allows “all athletes” in athletics when you cannot know what “athletes” will be on the team. Keep 40-60 kids in athletics all year and they never play for a team. Especially when they “say they will be on a team” and then “never even try out”, but they were “in athletics all year” consuming limited resources and diverting coaches from players who are sincere. Comments like “elitist attitude” further establish your ignorance on the subject.
