Multiple choice?
Look when I was in high school we would do full contact to an extent where we wrap up and stay off the ground in shorts and T-shirt. It’s basivally like a 7v7. It sounds like these kids are soft. I guarantee they weren’t going to ground. These kids didn’t want to practice because they think they are great.
I know about the Maryland situation and this is not it. It’s just kids who are soft and don’t want to work. Even when the coach is giving them a break by putting them in short and shirt. It was so bad parents and administration would have stepped in way quicker on the matter.
WC, who was the second player pushing back?
These high-profile teams....aren’t there all kinds of parents, scouts and others pretty much at every practice?
The good old verbal warning. Love these. The verbal warning always ends up in your file in the form of a written note or email documenting the warning. This is always the first check mark in your file when a manager and HR desire to cut you loose. Had you stayed, you would have been barraged with written warnings which would have ultimately led to your final written warning then termination. The cherry on top would have been the perp walk to the front door in front of your colleagues while you are carrying a small box with your personal effects. Seen it many times.
Good thing you quit before you were unconditionally released.
So. that makes you a free agent, right? Hope you can find a good deal out there!!
I wasn't the one who first posted about him and I can't recall who it was at this moment.
I find it extremely doubtful they went full contact in shorts. Rugby players don't go full contact because human nature and training informs them they would cripple each other rather quickly. I'm betting it's a big exaggeration inspired by the Maryland situation and the general feminization of our society.
Since I haven’t been able to post in a few days, at least it saved my draft... The main concern seems to be they didn’t have their leg pads on, since they were in shorts, and were going full contact. I think I’d just ask to go put pants and leg pads on and come back. I’m assuming there’s more to the story, or they just don’t like their coach.
The coach prior to the current one, Jeff Herron, was golden. Big shoes to fill. Not sure the current guy measures up the his predecessor. That guy is a HOF coach (at least in HS). I can see the players saying "we did it this way when coach Herron was here and we won a state title doing it his way".
Sadly the parents might not intervene unless it was something obviously detrimental to their kids. From pretty much devouring anything college football from QB1(the Martell kid whose parents moved the whole family to Vegas for him to go to a private version of Grayson) to a story I read yesterday about the next supposed USC big time QB(his parents had him repeat a grade to be ready for high school ball and he skipped his whole senior year to be able to go to USC early), and many others, the parents are not always seemingly looking out for their kids in a way I’d personally think I would if I had a kid.
With Grayson allegedly recruiting players in shady ways with the full knowledge of their families, I’d not be surprised if a lot of these parents are a bit too wrapped up in their kids’ football lives, and might have the just **** it up and you’ll get a good college offer frame of mind. Or they could be just entitled kids, also probably due in part to their parents making their lives all about football.
Herron has been ultra successful in a least 3 high schools now. He left Grayson for a higher paying HC job in SC and immediately turned it around. Interestingly Herron was the 2nd straight Grayson HC to leave for a position in South Carolina. Micky Conn took a job as Clemson's DB coach.
We “popped” in shells. No bottom pads. You just weren’t allowed to tackle to the ground. It was awesome when we were only in shells.
They “popping” in shells or actual playing football?
That’s how it is supposed to be. One problem with kids are the parents who DO intervene when they shouldnt.
