have a buddy that resigned this week from his AD position....he was also the head basketball coach. now, stud gets it. this ain't oklahoma and the ad should be the head football coach, but the district made this guy the AD because he is the only guy that has stuck around the last 11 years...all of the other ad/football coaches left after 1 or 2 years.... they haven't been very good at anything in 10 years (ironically enough that is when stud left)...they just haven't had the athletes they used to. this place has won a few state championships in numerous sports.... anyway, new supt comes in and him and my buddy butt heads...sup recommends he be non-renewed because they didn't win enough football games the last 2 years....this guy is the b ball coach....anyway, FB is flooded by parents and kids that this guy meant the world to. he made a huge difference in a lot of kids life's while teaching them discipline and all the other horse hockey we're supposed to teach kids... so my question is "what do you guys think"? should instilling hard work, discipline, character and ownership play a bigger part in the job than wins/losses? stud knows this question has been asked many times, but this is the first time stud's seen it happen to someone he knows was the right person for the job.... It should be but in our business it is far from it in my opinion. It depends on how many mouths the HC has to feed when he goes home every night. |

Unfortunately we live in a spineless society where admin who feel any kind of heat or in this case butt heads with a coach they will use the win/loss against a coach. We as coaches can only win with jimmy's and joes. The only thing I can bring with me are characteristics that will make good human beings. It is pure bs that a quality coach loses his job over wins/losses.

I hate that because we for the most part we have no control over wins and losses. My team plays Davis every year and every year Davis's starters are done at half time. There is nothing the kids or coaches of Marietta can do about it.

it should be about instilling hard work, value, discipline, or whatever else you can think of.
but society and parent don't give a shat about any of that. it's always "win and losses" or "what have you done for me lately".
