Coach promotes himself on Facebook

[bigredbird]

Is this the future of self-promotion in coaching circles? Social networking takes on a new dimension?

A buddy of mine sent this link to me and asked me this simple question: "Is it ethical for a football coach to promote himself for a position using Facebook? I honestly don't know the answer so I thought I would see what you guys think? Check out the story in the Knox News.

I don't know if a coach can get hired because of facebook,but any teacher can get fired for anything from photographs to content on a social website.I don't agree with it,but I don't think it,s wrong for a coach to promote himself or for anyone else to promote a coach as long as they use good judgement and good taste.Our world has changed!!

It doesn't appear to me that Mr.Satterfield created this page, but his family is obviously involved. I, for one, do not have a problem with it. UC made one mistake already and needs to get a coach in place ASAP. This guy seems as if he deserves a shot, if for no other reason than this guy's proven work ethic and his commitment to community. If it doesn't work out then he can be replaced just like anybody else that does not have ties to the UC program. That and it is 2010....Just sayin'.
