The Marion County football scandal is really upsetting. It sends a horrible message to the players and, frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that tons of other coaches across the county commit similar acts in the name of "winning." High school football coaches have a big responsibility—and winning football games isn't it.

 

Anyway... I wrote a piece on Nooga.com that summarizes my thoughts. Feel free to check it out.

Didn't even bother reading the article after seeing your headline. How can you say winning football games isn't part of a football coaches responsibility? Some people will argue that winning games shouldn't be their top priority or responsibility, but that was the main reason they was hired for the position in the first place.

I'm not going to put those guys down because their emotions carried them away and they went out and did something they shouldn't have. I hope they let that pass and the only thing that happens is their responsible for the damages and go on with life. Those guys are human and they made a real bad mistake so move forward and forget. That would be the best thing that would happen there.

Jim Stowe had a quote that he was fond of..."I'm in the business of molding men...men win football games for you". He didn't mean strength and conditioning when he said molding men, he was referring to character. I'm with billcolrus, the thing that seperates great teams from teams with great players is the attitude and character that is taught by the coach...do it the right way and winning will come with it.

      Why? Low pay. Low budget thanks to the Rotary milking the programs revenue. Foul smell. There are other negative things... Positives: the players and being toward the top of the classification numbers wise.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      What we have here is an influx of outsiders raining down on the town of Maryville like a swarm of locust trying to change our culture into the same crap they moved away from. I have no issues with anyone coming here but don't bring your politics with you. Most people around here never pay attention to the elections and keep letting the same ole rats and vermin right back in the back door and wonder why things are like they are. The problem at Maryville High is mainly due to letting outsiders get a foothold on control and shove their agenda down everyone's throat. Anyone that leaves there or let's say ranoff are replaced with an outsider with the same mindset. Eventually Maryville High will never be the same as it once was which I'm beginning to believe already but it's only chance of survival are to recruit people that will get in there and reverse the damage that has already happened.

      Athletics is just a piece. It can help them academically, socially and add confidence. I was still 17 when I finished my first quarter at UT. I was the last to get my driver's license. It's not always just for athletics.
