LCAKNIGHTSD---
In my day, when a man called for a truce he was at least honored with a response. Apparently, you are not man enough to publicly state your disagreements with me or friend enough to embrace me. I wanted reconciliation, but apparently that is not in the cards. If we are meant to be enemies, that saddens me. However, I can swallow my pride and accept it. Please---no flames in response to this post. Let's keep things classy and civil around here, LCAKNIGHTSD.
Respectfully,

I believe what coach means is that he does now allow to post information about profit-driven ventures on the boards, such as "Solomon's Fantasy & Will Make Your Kid a D-1 Prospect Football Camp" unless he is compensated what he feels is fair.
And if more people became plus members to offset the cost of the site, I am sure the number of "annoying ads" would go down. $12 a year ain't that much. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
Couldn't have said it better myself!!!

Thats' exactly what I am saying, bigredmachine78 you need to think about what you post. The rules are clear and simple, most schools love their coaches and they put in enormous amounts of time into what they do. NFL coaches get paid millions to be on a hot seat, highschool coaches get gas money.
And THIS is exactly what I AM SAYING! Again, you have responded to me with a venomous and insensitive post when I was simply trying to explain what happened. I am new here...why are you picking on me for no reason!?? I expected to be welcomed and yet you are busting my chops at every turn.
I happen to know for a fact that a coach or two that I mentioned is getting much more than "gas money."
Truce?
GO BIG RED!!!!

After reading the rules of the site, no advertising. The site is full of advertising and I understand why. However, what I hate is the pop up ads, such as the ugly girl on the Classmates site. Warning don't ever click on one of the advertisers, you may be sorry.
However, I agree no discussion on the potential HS coaches on the hot seat.
As someone who has worked in advertising for years, I can assure you that CoachT thrives and survives on users clicking on the advertisements!!! Do you appreciate this site? Do you want it to continue to exist? If you do, please don't encourage people not to use the advertising.
GO BIG RED!!!!

From experience, discussions of coaches on hot seats are anything but civilized discussion, and I am sure all moderators will agree.
Plus, my opinion is that the coaches do not get paid for the time and energy it takes to coach high school football now, much less reading on message boards about their job being on the line and idiocy that usually is involved with the discussion.
And, yes, you are very right. High school coaches don't typically get payment they deserve for all of their time and hard work. However, high school football is big business and sometimes the biggest figures in the game---the coaches---are in the spotlight, for good or for bad.
GO BIG RED!!!

Oh, I get it. Its not so much what I posted---which was reasoned and not bashing---but the response that could have erupted. Exhibit A was lcaknightsd's unreasonable temper tantrum.
Again, all apologies to the moderators and all the fans out there. I was just trying to get an interesting discussion going.
GO BIG RED!!!

Thanks a lot!!
I do have one question though. Rule 19 states "Be Welcomed: If you are looking for a message board that encourages civilized discussion and a relaxed environment, this is your place to be." I thought my content was civilized but the response I got was anything but relaxed. What gives???
GO BIG RED!!!

Hey everyone,
Can you let me know where I can find a copy of the forum by-laws? Do we need to sign off on anything? Unfortunately, I started a post that was considered "inappropriate" by a moderator and I was clueless that it would be bad.
I apologize to the moderators, the coaches involved, any of their players or parents that read this, and most of all to YOU---the loyal readers of Coacht.com. I hope my mistake doesn't cast a bad light on this wonderful source of information.
Go BIG RED!!!

Who is this guy, first off LCA cannot have a losing season and it is there first year! Brentwood Academy??????? This is probably that scottsboro idiot.
Thanks for the response. Honestly, I didn't know that much about Lancaster's program...I am surprised they are first year!!!! For some reason, I thought they had been playing for 5+ years at the independent level. I have seen a couple of your games this season and knowing it is the first year puts a lot in perspective. Coach Greene deserves at least the next two games to show what he is made of...he probably will get another year as well. Another close one with RBS, though, and he may not be around to see year three of LCA football.
How are they looking for the next two games?

Ralph Potter (Brentwood Academy): After a loss to the BIG RED MACHINE---MBA---this past weekend, BA fans are grumbling for the days of Carlton Flatt. Potter may be out on the street if things don't turn around.
Paul Townsend (Mt. Juliet Christian): Promised a state title within four years...in year two, MJCA isn't sniffing the playoffs. This is a community that expects a winner and cannot tolerate the losses for much longer.
Ray Greene (Lancaster Christian): After a narrow win against Red Boiling Springs, the boo birds were out in full effect at the last home game. Fans are restless and believe that the gimmick offense of LCA cannot ever produce a winning program. Expect Greene to be out before the end of the calendar year.
Phillip Shadowens (Smyrna): A state title has upped expectations in Smyrna, but the level of play on the field has declined. The loss to Lebanon was a major red flag and after this season things won't be so "Sonny" in Smyrna. Prediction---Shadowens to Middle Tennessee Christian in a shocker!
Anyone else have other ideas? These are just some thoughts, and I don't claim to be an expert by any means. Just an MBA fan in Murfreesboro that loves high school football

I know you are trying to be humorous, but for the record I don't go for all that gay stuff lcaknightsd. My wife completes me, not you. I'd appreciate you not directing this type of harassment towards me again. Mods, can we get his post deleted please?
lcaknightsd---are you a Christian young man? If so, I want to assure you that we are indeed brothers. I would be glad to pray for and with you. I can see that you have struggles with self-control, attitude, self-image, and more. You can be redeemed my friend!!!
Let me know if I can be a help.
At your service,
