What schools took fall break off? Why?

[hardtackle]

I know most in metro Nashville public schools did.

Maryville never does. Even if we have a bye.

I've never heard of a football team taking fall break off. I've never been around or even heard of that. I assume any team that does take fall break off is a bad team. 

 

I've heard of coaches doing 4 practices and giving Monday or Friday off.

If Maryville has a bye on fall break, we didn’t this year, our coaches will normally practice Mon-Thursday and let the kids have the long weekend. Sometimes on the break we will even practice early in the day to let the boys have the evening off.

Never heard of a decent team or school that values athletics taking a full week off during the season in any sport, ever!  That is absurd, and sends a very clear message that team and coach has mailed it in.  May as well just take up equipment and move on to basketball.   Maybe the last 2 games are optional this year.

Nobody that takes pride in their football program takes a whole week off.

I hope any team and coach that takes a week off gets what they deserve... 

The team loses and the coach gets replaced.

Who does this?

Shad at William Blount apparently did this, took the week off, lol.  Please somebody tell me this did not happen.   I guess there's a first time for everything.   But then again, last years playoff game was optional and they weren't allowed to have a banquet.  Maybe it is true?

If your team hasn’t won a game and you take the week off, and I’m the AD you won’t have a job come Monday 

[oridgecat]

And they wonder why they lose players to other schools, smdh!
