I have a serious question that I would love to have a debate about. This is a sensitive topic and I want to first put out there, that this is not about any particular Coach or school. I just know that this situation has or could arise in any sport at any school.

Do Coaches or should Coaches hide or dispose of college letters or information about players in their program?

Just like coaching the team some coaches do a great job of getting kids looked at and signed and others are terrible.  This is usually a case of the head coach having a great relationship with the college recruiters and being willing to work with the recruiters.  There are some high school coaches that have the attitude that if a college coach calls them about a players they will speak with them but they are not going to go out of their way to promote a player.  That philosophy is great for the 5* kids but for the kid that is a low 3* or lower it doesn’t work.  My thoughts are that more high school players should really focus on grades and shoot for a high academic school.  If the Power 5 schools conference then they have a decision to make.

No debate to it. I have zero respect for anyone in that position if they don't promote their kid. The ideal coach works to secure offers for every player who has a shot to get one, but the guy (or lady) who ignores interest should be fired on the spot. These kids get one shot, and to be able to extend their playing career for a little while means a lot...not to mention the financial and educational aspects. Life changing decisions concerning other people should never be taken any more lightly than coach would if it were his own kid.

    • If an attorney sees enough merit in the case they will take it and only collect if their client wins. Happens in civil cases all the time. 
    • Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row
    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
