My son played football last year for the pirahnas and had (what I think and many other parents too at least from conversations) one of the worst coaches!!!!! He lacked enthusiasm, spark, discipline and I could go on and on about how this "coach" could have improved and made our kids better. If a kid did something wrong the defense coach and the line coach would tell the kid it was wrong and show them the right way - the head coach would pat the kid on the back and tell them what a wonderful job they just did (ok exagerrating a bit but would tell them they did good). WHAT? How are any of the kids going to learn??? when the other coaches were kinda up in their face but not over the top and demanded respect!!! this guy oh man oh man - I could go on and on.... I won't call him out because i'm not like that but still this is ridiculous!!! I've spoken to alot of the parents and they dont' want to play for this guy again and even more important their kids don't want to play for this guy again - these are 9-10-11 year old kids - telling a coach - hey you suck... He refused to listen to the advice of the "A" team coach who had done this for YEARS and has a good team, yet would go to the "A" games when he could & have more enthusiasm for them than he did his own team. Sad part was - alot of the "B" team kids were at those games & saw that... he lost alot of respect that day...
Well what's made me angry is this... I signed up my son a few weeks ago and have talked to a couple of people - parents, kids, coaches and have heard that this coach will be back next year as head coach. My son does not want to play under this coach and unfortunately he's not good enough to play up on the "A" team yet... so now what do I do?
I asked one of the coaches & they told me that we couldn't get our money back - even if he doesn't play. If I move to another state - I STILL WOULD NOT GET MY MONEY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The commish is arrogant and I guess this really unliked coach and him are pretty tight cause I know some parents voiced concerns last year as well as recently & they have gone unnoticed.
Another thing that gets me is this - one of the coaches from last year - the defensive coach - WAS AWESOME and would have been a pretty good head coach I believe! He told the kids they were wrong when they were and showed them what to do right - and would stay on them until it was right. He was up in their faces somewhat & demanded respect from the team & got it... Rumor has it he went for the head coaching position & since the old one is coming back - no dice. unfortunately, I dont' think he's going to coach w/ this coach again - so now the kids loose out...
I guess my purpose here is if any of you parents out there know the coach I'm speaking of and agree - please call Tim Goodrich the commisioner and let him know because I hate to be the bearer of bad news but he's coming back & going to be head coach and we are going to loose another good defensive coach because of it.
On a sidenote - my applause does go out to all the coaching staff/cheerleading staff etc because it is such a commitment and they do it on a volunteer basis - even this coach that I'm talking about - he volunteers - I applaud him for that, but it's just not a good fit. Maybe he should stay w/ flag football since that's his expertise?
