S10SQUAREBODY4LIFE 239 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Most on here have some knowledge of basic concepts of football but a fair amount of individuals are without a doubt the worst daddy-ball mentality that ever was. It's comical at times but confirms the suspicion I've had of a couple folks having parents that were related before they were married. Shoot, most of us couldn't fill a post-it note with our knowledge. Not even the little post-it tabs. On the other hand, I heard that coaches in 2D are agreeing to only call TD plays on offense and Pick6's on defense so next season gonna be tough. Good fund raiser, sale chances on the coaches clip board, whistle, backpack (where applicable), and let the winner call the shots for a quarter, lol.

Oh I know they’re on here, they just tend not to speak up as much as some folks who think they know the ins and outs of every aspect of the game. I get a good chuckle out of some of the highly opinionated people on here that “know what’s best” for their team. The real coaches aren’t saying much because they don’t have to.

Tru Blue 72 423 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I don't think the Richlands HC is the problem. I think what it comes down to is the feeder programs, (Little League). A few years back, there were several teams in the program allowing many young and upcoming talented players to learn from their coaches. Then along comes a couple of guys who want to be known as the best coaches in the area, and wreck the program. They reduced the number of teams down to two, each having a multitude of players, and then, they only play a few, while the others get to watch from the sidelines. They made the program about their coaching ability rather than a learning experience for the players. Who wants their young child to go to practice everyday, do all that's expected, and never get into live action. Back in the day, little league was all about learning the game, not acting like you are the Dallas Cowboys rather than the Richlands Cowboys. Now we have very talented players walking the halls of our schools and never coming out to participate because they don't want to waste the time and energy to set on the bench, like they have been taught during their time in the feeder program. Fix the feeder program, and in my opinion, you fix the problem. Let the younger players play, no matter what level of talent, you are to teach them, not destroy their desire! Who cares if you don't win the championship on that level, it's what you have taught these young minds that is the important thing, not the fact that you are the winningest coach that ever came along. Who cares about you? It should be all about the players on the feeder program level, not the flamboyant coach on the sideline!!!!

He and the OC are a joke. I’ve heard Chilhowie is not gonna make a move. They are going to let Robinson do baseball football and AD. As far as northwood goes I would have to agree with you on that one. Their defense was solid but the offense was hard to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
