Jonesboro still a Class Act.

Just to claify a few things here. Jake no longer coaches at J-Bird. The new assistant is Jeb (I'll save his last name for privacy.)
@MexicanEnglishman I do remember playing and watching Aquilla, and they used to have a hel* of an onside kick. Like kill you type if you weren't paying attention, so no need to talk about payback.

What do yall think about Jonesboro this year? I was at the Buckholts game a they look pretty salty.

This makes me think also coach, in Six-man, it's just as easy to score with a run as with a pass. Therefore, a coach who is trying to just end this game with dignity has a hard boat to row.

As a coach that has been on both sides of the ball, pertaining to the on-side kicking issue, I have no problem with it. It's usually a coach trying to get out of the game quicker to prevent injuries, or they don't have a kicker who can safely boot it out of the endzone, I have no problem with it. Like the old saying goes also, "If you don't like it...stop it"

Got a note from a coach once, apologizing because, although his team was up by several touchdowns, near the end of the game, there was a snafu in the play calling and his team threw a pass or two (incomplete, if I remember right) near the end. He wanted to be sure I got the news to the coaching staff that it was an error and he didn't want to have us thinking he was a "run up the score" coach.

I told him not to worry. I didn't notice it. Neither did the coaching staff, when I mentioned it to them.

Which proves my oft-repeated point. If the second coming of Jesus Christ occured behind most football coaches' bench during the game, it wouldn't be noticed by the coach.

Sir, it's football, and injuries will happen. Be the hammer, not the nail. More kids get injuried from standing around rather than being agressive and playing the game. It's never a good thing when a kid gets "hurt" playing the game, which on-side kicks can do. However, with the speed and hits that come along with long kicks, they are just as likely to get hurt during one of those.

There is also another old saying that goes something like this " payback is a b#tch". And what makes it sad is the coach won't be the one laying in his bed with lights out and feeling the effects of a concussion or be in the one in the emergency room with a busted spleen. Word gets around and he made his kids targets and that is sad because they are only doing what was taught or told.

 

[Mexican Englishman]

Yes sir I will agree with you that injuries can happen anywhere on the field and at any time, but there is something that is called "respect for the game". Maybe I am being old school but you just don't kick a onside kick with less than two minutes and up by 32 . I don't care what people say about six man strategy or some freakish turn of events that will only happen once in a generation or ever. I would say the same thing if Aquilla did it and would be embarrassed if they did.

 

[Sancho Panza]

If a coach only kicks insides because he doesn't have a kid that can boot it through the back of the end zone, why wouldn't he onside the rest of the game? I cannot say I know of any coaches that would run a bogus offense/defense just because the score got out of hand so why should special teams be any different?

 

[jc_30]

I agree with Sancho panza about the kicking. If you can't get it out of the back of the end zone then onside. perfect example is the famous Balmorhea/Guthrie game in the 90's. Guthrie takes the lead with a less than a minute left and then kicks deep to Balmorhea who takes the kick back for a td and Guthrie looses the game. if they onside it less likely of a chance to be ran back.

Agree to disagree. I've coached both 11-man and 6-man. In 6-man, if you kick it deep, they return it back to the 30 or 40 anyway; so why not minimize the possibilities of a TD? Our stands scream at us for on-siding every kick of the game; lead or no lead. I would rather a team score on offense than special teams. At least on special teams; I have more control of the scoring opportunity.

If this happens in an 11-man game. I agree with you. If you have a hard time with it in 6-man, then this team is only one of a huge list you will find a problem with. It is a part of 6-man, always has been and always will be.

I am sorry it didn't use to be that way and I guarantee that the top coaches don't play that way, maybe the bush leagues ones do. I heard Cowboy Parks never stepped on a football field so what the hell does he know. And running chains don't count Mr.P

I played in JH, but I didn't play in HS. The coach said I was too short, too fat, and too slow. What does that prove? Find me one person from Aquilla, excluding Aquilla's coaching staff, that knows more about current sixman teams, coaches, and players. I bet you can't do it.

Nice to see that sense of humor CP. Sometimes its fun to cut up and be silly. Hard to find in here anymore. I guess that's inaccurate, I forgot about the Newby thread. It's FRIDAY! Good football to everyone.

Bring your big mouth and come check

Oh man! Internet gauntlet being thrown down. Nothing exceeds the drama of "meet me behind the bathrooms after the game. I'll be there, huckleberry".

Makes me yearn for the days of "1...2...3... BABY!!!"

I have an idea - if you want to bad mouth a coach and/or team, post your real name. Don't hide behind a screen name.
