Discrimination

Question : If football is in-season because of spring practice, wouldn't that make girls' soccer, volleyball, and golf in-season too (or even basketball - they have spring-sumemr practice)??? Either open up the other boards that are in-season with football or lock football up. That's discrimination against the smaller sports. If you want more people to sign up for + memberships, then take away something they want. That's the only reason many people use this site anyway, is to chat about football. And if it's open year-round because it's in-season, most people won't see a need to pay any money.

Daniel... we are in transition between the old CoachT and the New CoachT. Everyone will adapt but it is always difficult to make adjustments to new things. I appreciate your opinion but we all hope you will join us in our extended CoachT family. It only costs $12.00 and you can get all the benefits of membership.

 

Coach Thompson's website has grown beyond what he can deal with on a part time basis. He was losing so much money trying to upgrade the server just to handle the amount of traffic. He had one of three choices:

 

1. Sell the site to someone who would have raised the prices anyway.

 

2. Continue to lose money and eventually close the site.

 

3. Chance upsetting some people and make some changes to increase revenue to the break even point with hopes of turning a small to modest profit down the road when he retires from teaching.

 

We discussed these changes for over a month and this seemed to be the best choice. I hope all of you will understand and join us in time. By leaving the "in-season" sports available for free, and all of the scoreboard and sports stories, we thought it would continue to draw those who wanted to be a casual CoachT.com fan while offering many nicer features for people who would be willing to offer a very modest amount of money to keep the "doors open."

Ok, did Coacht give that to you to copy and paste into every single post you make? I'm seeing that several times on here, and it's even worse than the back handed not-really-answering-your-question answer that a politician would give.

 

Let me make myself clear ONE MORE TIME: I understand the pay policy. I am NOT an idiot. I think paying for use of this website is a great idea. I have ALWAYS thought it was a great idea. I fully understand the financial obligations that coacht is under. I fully support Mr. Thompson being able to provide for what he does on this website -- he IS a teacher, and teachers don't have wads of cash to hand out.

(Please notice the overbearing, fed-up sounding sarcasm in the aformentioned thoughts.)

 

BUT, my question has NOTHING to do with all of this. What I want to know is how one justifies the football forum being open when other in season fall sports are not. In my opinion, Football should not be opened until the beginning of August when the season truly does start. And for the sake of coacht better supporting this website, Football SHOULD be closed until August, because it is such a popular thread. By closing Football more people will desire a + membership to talk about Football when no one is actually playing football.

ELA: I appreciate the help today.

 

DanielPhipps: Football is available now because of spring practice, AND the all-star game to be played this summer, AND the fact that football is the next major sport to be in-season. Therefore, I kept it open as a bonus to those fans and nothing else.

 

The reasons for everything is in the Announcement thread.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.

      An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.

      All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.

      No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
