So when you say “next victim” were you talking about the next victim you were going to bash as a LO coach? Cause earlier you were talking about him leaving Frisco for a dumpster fire. Now you act like your the National Enquirer with all the facts on the guy. And he’s a poor choice. The dumpster fire ain’t the coaches there. It’s the people who coach from the bleachers and Smoaky. If it were just the kids and coaches it would be fine. Y’all murk the water there. Everyone within 60 miles knows it.

This whole thread is like a big whine box for everyone that doesn’t get their way. Get some tissues. Quit talking about how things will effect kids. That’s a cop out. Sounds good to say. But just cause he or she ain’t your pick don’t mean the worlds gonna end. Grow the hell up.

You can throw whatever history up there you want. But everyone knows you can only do what you can within your situation. Been plenty of coaches ride a good group of talent to make a name for themselves. Been plenty of great coaches lose their good name for not.

Last sentence

I believe every head coach should have the opportunity to see the freshmen class though that was there when they started. When you coach, the freshmen are who you molded through your program. If you can’t get things done in 4 years then then it’s time to move on. How long has the ne guy been there?

What grade level are these athletes in you speak of?

Yea, when people get fed up some just don’t ever show back up.

Oh I thought you said he was an AD/Head Coach. Does he have a winning track record?

Is the candidate you said so much about one with many successful seasons as head coach?

Is the candidate you said so much about one with many successful seasons as head coach?

Wow blesseddaily you seem to really know your stuff. This sounds great. What’s their track record of winning?

Bottom line is this. Coach Cooper taught 40 boys the other day what responsibility was. He taught 40 boys that nothing is more important than loyalty. He let 40 young men know that he would take heart and loyalty over talent. He made more of an impact leaving the field and making his point than staying there. Regardless if it takes away the wins, regardless of what loop hole you can try to find other than that was just the right thing to do, he made a lasting impression beyond football. I wish we had more coaches like him. Greenville needs him. He's a God send. End of story.

So basically, I wouldnt have been right either way. I hope when I become a salty vet I will say something that makes a little sense. You know your stuff applebutter, I'll give you that. Your a sure Hall of Famer. Silly me for starting a thread no one would want to comment on. Rookie mistake.

So your telling me the approval of the US presidents have not been on the steady decline? I never heard anyone say anything bad about FDR. Ever. You can Google George W Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barak Obama and the first thing you will see is a negative response.

Make sure you read the fine print, when you quote somebody. This isnt a Support Obama topic. Its a general thought. I even put Bush on there for you. Perhaps your response (speaking without thinking) is the majorities. I think that answers the entire question all together. I hope thats a credible response. Sincerely, Goat Boy

I was just recalling the days in which America seemed like it had more of a unity. It seemed like we were in it with the same cause. WWII was a war that "all" for the most part agreed with. People loved FDR. It seemed like every one loved Reagan. Clinton got it bad, Bush got it worse. It looks like Obama's going to take it on the chin as well. Did backing your president end after Nixon? WHAT HAPPENED TO BACKING YOUR PRESIDENT? WHEN DID THAT END? WHERE DID AMERICA GO?

Golden rule??? Come on. Never good to go against your old pals, but calling a spade a spade is far more respectable than calling a bad umpire a great one just to save the creed. Any umpire knows theres bad umpires as well as good ones. Just as every good umpire knows a good coach from a bad coach. If you turn on PBS and watch any footage from old yankee baseball games in the 1920's you will see fans razzing the umpires. Blaming the umpire is nothing new, many times it is from ignorant fans, and many times it is from ignorant coaches, but can any umpire honestly expect to not hear it from the fans or coaches. Its the game. Lets take hot dogs out of baseball. Or better yet, lets hire firemen that are afraid of fire. There are great umpires. They are greatly appriciated and probably not told when they do a good job. But golden rules??? Maybe good umpires need to weed out the bad ones by canning the golden rule and saying "hey, this is my profession, dont give it a bad name, beat it kid." And taking flack as an umpire is UNDENYABLE. Theres no crying in baseball.

I am at a game every tuesday, friday and saturday. And sure there are, I just havent seen one yet that made me need a name.

Aint seen many to brag on yet

I'll tell you this much, I coach is very appriciative of a good consistant umpire. Saw one today. Sounds like you take pride in what you do and your proabably a sound official. Its just a real heartache when you dont get what you think you deserve in a ballgame. Especially if you love the game. It's a shame we're running so thin on umps. Hell, maybe they need to up the pay and make it more hard to be certified. Must ref so many games a month or loose certification. Maybe a field test. Good luck.

What I believe the guy is saying is that coaches but work/hours into winning ball games, kids put work/hours into winning ball games, and it doesnt do the game justice if the officials dont do their work aswell. The true outcome is not exact. If you know the game of baseball, you understand that a call can change the outcome of a game. If an umpire cannot take 15 minutes out of his day to know what an infield fly is then he doesnt do his job. Anybody can see that a kids safe or out, and with a little experience you can tell a ball from a strike. But when things are at stake can you tell interference from live play? Infield fly from a fly ball? The coaches can. They studied the book. Its there job.
