I have 14 years of “coaching” experience. I know that’s not a lot be a decent amount. In my 14 years my groups have absolutely dominated at what they did. And I say that not to toot my own horn (pun definitely intended there) but to give my kids the credit. I have found in my 14 years that I am not the greatest “coach”. But what makes my kids so successful is that they know I care. I don’t just make it about wins and losses. I invest in them morally and they know that I would do anything for them. Because of that they have complete trust in me and work unbelievable hard for me. They would eat nails for me if I told them it would make them better. I agree with you that I’m todays society it is about wins and losses. And if a coach wants to stick around they better understand that. But in my opinion the truly great coaches invest in the kids to achieve the wins. On the field and off. 

Again, no argument from me.  I'm not downplaying the importance of what you do as a coach from a mentoring and influence standpoint.  Just saying that society and expectations have changed and expect wins over everything else and much of it is about exposure that kids and programs get now.

Absolutely correct in what you are saying. Society expects the wins over everything else. But what society doesn’t understand is that it takes the everything else to get the most wins.

    • Yes this process is moving slower than I would have expected
    • also was told coady auston applied, he served as defensive coordinator for greenfield under don pitt several years ago before going to Obion county  
    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
