Hey Hoganblows you are an idiot and everyone else that thinks the parents run the program are also out of the loop! How exactly do parents go ABOVE a head coach and get their son to play? Who is above the head coach that has this authority? The athletics director? The principal? What would these parents going to these people say? "Tell that head coach to play my son or you should fire him" then even if that happened the person with this authority to fire the coach would have to respond "ok your right if your son doesnt play then the coach is gone." Do you realize how dumb this sounds?
And as for commitment that starts at the top with the coach and trickles down to the players then parents. If players dont workout or come to practice IMO they shouldnt even be allowed on the team, but the coach still allows them to continue even after not doing this. And you wanna say what do I know about commitment? In eighth grade I weighed a whopping 80 pounds now as a senior I weigh 195 pounds and I am the strongest player on the team, all of which was done through not only summer workouts but also working out in the winter.
The goat is dead and buried. No one associated currently with the program talks about or blames the goat incident for the current problems at HHS. So I find it very sad and also hilarious that something that happened 2 years ago is still the main topic of conversation when it comes to this program. You were not there and you do not know what happened or what went on so I would suggest you put it behind you and quit bringing it up.
The plain facts are that NOBODY works out, there is NO FORM OF DISCIPLINE whatsoever, and the offensive play calling is horrendous. Could I do any better at calling plays? who knows but I certainly couldn't do much worse seeing as we are 0-5 and have scored a total of 21 points on the season. The best players play! No one is riding the bench because someone else's parents complained. Our team is too shorthanded to have that happen. I play. And I play the position where the coaches put me and I love it so you can't say I'm just ranting because i don't play where i want to.
