It easy to see on Message Boards those who coach and those who haven't coached and those who are parents and spectators of a sport. Coaches put in alot of time (most of it unseen by others) preparing athletes to go to battle each week. And then no matter the outcome of the game on Friday Night someone is gonna bash the coach....either because their team lost the game or momma's lil boy didnt get enough PT and that is the reason the game was lost or because "our coach got outcoached tonight.....
As a coach....I know this is true...
Parents want to Coach
Coaches (after dealing with parents) want to officiate
and officials (after hearing coaches and parents on their tails) just wanna watch the game
No wonder so many good coaches are getting out of this profession!!!
Parents are to busy trying to prepare the path for their kid instead of preparing their kid for the path!!!!

Quoted from JAFO on previous post.
Maybe RS isn't the problem. Maybe they have a really good coach , and maybe he is blessed with kids that take time out of their busy life to workout a lot to keep themselves in physically fit condition. Maybe the teams they play have kids not physically conditioned to take the abuse. Remember the kids playing most likely don't workout at all until just before football practice starts. Then it comes all back to coach. The coach's ability to get the kids to execute plays . But if the best coach in the world doesn't have a halfway decent physically fit team to work with chances of success are not good. Here is a good example. Borden Co. lost almost everybody now , down to one senior one junior returning from what i'm told. Even though I think the coach is pretty darn good, literally his chances are not good, and he will lose games they have not lost in many years. That's the way things work out in high school. They have what they have. Start recruiting from other close districts for good players if you want a better team. That's how BC survived past years, kids from other districts. That's just one small example.
I will restate this from an educated point of view and apply to this situation
Maybe Klondike's coach isn't the problem. Maybe Dawson has four, count them, four, 3rd year starters on both sides of the ball. Maybe both schools have really good coaches (by the way they do, I have personally worked with both). Perhaps it is easier in Week 2 to get your kids to execute the plays correctly with experience in almost every position. That's the way things work out in high school. They have what they have. I am without a doubt certain both coaches are playing the hand they are dealt as good as possible. Anyone suggesting breaking UIL rules of recruiting, then suggesting that the coach at BC is a darn good coach because his school recruits (read the quote, that's what it implies, you cant have it both ways JAFO) has zero common sense and is as ignorant as the day is long.
It is better to remain silent and be THOUGHT a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Probably should have followed my own advice, but this post made me sick.

You got your saying a little backward. Strike "smart" insert "fool"....... Other than that I agree with you.

Wow. JAFO must be gunning for Most Hated Guy In 6-Man. LOL. Like he's gonna take my title by picking on coaches and leaving a game at halftime in protest of what he deems a sub-par performance. Being a petulant deebag is picking the low hanging fruit.
But on the upside, at least he's not barbequing foster kids in his backyard.

You are right .I (our group)wont bash the coach anymore. He has enough problems. The Dawson coach had a far better game plan for their players than Klondike coach had. We saw it after the first 4 minutes into the game. Coaches that don't learn from their mistakes , lose more than just a game. After this game Klondike should be ranked just above Borden Co. around 60. Sorry some of you got soooo offended from the truth. The comments we heard from Klondike parents last night was not good at all. The Dawson side had a good time laughing at how the Klondike coach kept doing the same thing . Dawson expected alot better game. Lenny, our group fulfilled our commitment to going down there. Any other bets you want to lose ? You owe me a cheeseburger brown bag special. WE did hear applause as we were leaving, it was Dawson scoring again !!!!!!!!!!!

Hey JAFO, why don't you come to O'Donnell for a game? Sit in the home stands & make sure everyone knows who you are. After the all the comments you've made about O'Donnell, I'm sure several fans would just love to visit with you........in the parking lot.

I understand the frustration with fans but they don't spend time with the kids everyday. Yes some coaches are better than others but some teams are better than others you can't just bash some one because they are getting killed. What coach hasn't lost a game before? Just be a fan and support the team and leave the coaching to the coaches.
We have several friends from odonnell. All the information we get come from them directly. We repeat what they say to us. These kids that were called criminals were called that from player parents . All the parents we knew said those criminals should have been kicked off the team. But they needed players , and that didn't happen. I had my run in from coaches. I had no problem going to school board and telling members to fire the football coach because of poor coaching ability. Is it bashing a coach when telling truth about performance. They don't care about it and don't pay any attention anyway. Our group of 6 wont be attending any games down there in odonnell this year. Done mapped out our schedule . I don't see or really hear a problem this year at odonnell, sound like well behaved kids.

Criminal kids, Inept officials, terrible coaches. JAFO, I'm sure most schools would not care for your presence and probable critique afterwards. This includes your other five compadres or personalities. I'm not sure which it truly is. It really makes me wonder that several people in your group share the same username as you mentioned earlier. Very Strange!
