yeah well some kids play for the love of the game, for pride in their school and community. not every player is interested in being a "baller chasing offers". There are more things, many more things about participating in high school sports that are far more important than winning or being a "baller'... Like you said program reflects Coach and what they are about.. If Coach is a win at all cost coach then I guess it's what you have and what you teach the kids... sad if you ask me

I know, it’s a nasty situation all around but the coach had the authority and if the incumbent and the parents are fine with it and on board, it what it is. 
 

We’re not in that room with the parents and the coach, I don’t think this situation got rammed down anyone’s throat.... that would not go over well in a public school.

Why should the parents have a say? I don’t get any of that. If a kid transfers I’m and beats out another kid it is what it is. 
 

I do think kids shouldn’t be promised jobs though. If they’re better, they should play.

They will have a say, whether the coach goes along with it is another discussion.

Coach Justin Rogers the other day had a kid come and tap him on the shoulder and pull him away. Upon returning about 20 minutes later, he proclaimed he had just talked a mom off the ledge. 

I was like, what happened coach? 

It turns out this mom was bout to pull her kid from football about his grades and the coach talked her out of it. 

Naturally, I asked was it a starter, and the coach said the kid will probably never play a meaningful down for the team, but, he felt like that kid needed to be a part of the team. A part of something bigger than himself. That was going to turn out a better human being into our community. 

The easy thing would have been to just say OK, one less kid to equip, take time with, worry about and etc., but the coach pulled away from what he was doing. Dropped everything to go talk that mom into letting the kid remain with the team. 

That's what type of stuff high school football is supposed to be about. None of this sissy bullshit where it's normalized to transfer because you don't like the coach or another kid beat you for the job or any other athletic reasons outside of safety. The center doesn't snap the way I like so I'm taking my talent to Grayson! xD

I gained an extra layer of respect for the coach in that moment. 

Some coaches fight for the baller and not that kid that would never play a meaningful down. 

At the same time, I do know coaches jobs are generally on the line umtimately based off of wins and losses, so, there does have to be a balancing act on their part, and, when a kid comes in and files the eligibility forms and becomes eligible, there isn't much you can do about that. However, the coach does have a choice in whether he welcomes that activity by way of benching his previous guy for the new guys and etc. Especially mid-season. 

 

So football is more important than his grades?  Earlier you said football is an extracurricular activity and not more important than school.  Just askin.

No, not saying that at all. The kid will get help with his grades now. They'll pay more special attention to that kid. He may not dress for a while until he gets them caught up, but, he'll be doing catch up in the athletic dept. 

They want the kid to feel wanted, and in exchange he'll hopefully learn something from the experience about himself and them. 

Football is totally extracurricular, but, it can be used to enrich the education and help turn out better humans.

Video schmideo.

I haven’t bought your story right from the jump, and no proof that you are willing to offer will change my mind.

But you are infrequently moderately entertaining, so keep on trucking.

I think there is a big difference  between a transfer student and a transient student.. The coaches I played for if you were not with the team during two a days and try outs then you can try out next year. There were no players let on the team after that. well there were no mid season transfers either.. This kid is not a transfer in my opinion he is a transient and personally I wouldn't let him on my team and I don't care how good he is. My team is made mid August... but that is just me.. besides what make this kid any more special than all the other kids who's teams either aren't playing football this year or playing in the spring? nothing.. no one owes him or his parents shit. go back home and sit with your team... 

I was torn between like & thanks for this post and obviously agree

so does he play GA this fall and his parents hitch back again all kidding aside does he play in CALI in Jan or College ?

Don't count the 4 drum majors in the front as a row and don't count the guard in yellow. Go to the rightmost end, third row, second from right.

Ngdawg is in the ng band its weird that grown men are trying to track and pinpoint a high school kid. You guys must be catholics. 

Side note who tf would lie about being in a high school band ? There is a abundance of ignorance and irrational thinking on this board.
