He said to me these words " football is such a simple game. Coaches make it complicated for no reason at all. If you can block and you can tackle then you can win". Those words never rang more true than last night. Unnion could not block or tackle there fore we lost. Our problem is spawning out of the coaching position. We have the most talent have had in years and some of the dumbest play calling and play execution i have ever seen. Union dont do any pull blockers or lead block with a fullback. On the D line, Union dont do any trades or shoots or any type of stunts to free up linebackers. Its like peanut football for real. a very vanilla play book and even more hum drum execution of the plays. Something has to give somewhere or No Coach will have a job soon at Union.
I continually am never surprised by the ignorance of the posts by people like you. You obviously do not have a clue how school systems work. You can't just get rid or fire an entire coaching staff because in the days of SOLs these men are teachers as well. They do their job both in the classroom and on the sidelines well. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to replace 9 teacher/coaches? Not to mention the legal aspects of that. Even if they got rid of them as coaches there aren't 9 people in the school system who would be willing or def be more qualified to coach. Is there room for improvement, yes for sure, but still this isn't professional sports where you can just fire people. So the coaches are here to stay. So why don't you learn to support them for the tons of things they are doing right and the sacrifices they are making for our communities and kids or go support JI Burton or Central or Eastside who play cup cake schedules so that you can feel good about their wins against Tri-cities Christian/ Rye Cove/Twin Valley caliber teams so you don't have to make cowardly comments on the internet!
