While at Shelbyville did he discipline his players if they went to breakfast as a team when invited for a Friday before school  by one of the area churches ?

Did they have other obligations they were supposed be doing that morning? 
 

I have no idea, but rarely is it just as simple as the players went to a church breakfast before school and that and that alone is what they were disciplined for. 
 

like I said, no idea the facts of this situation, just my experience in this field tells me there is more to the story.

Look folks. This is actually the 7th head coach here since fall of 2021. Thats a fact. There was two coaches in 2020 season. It’s way worse than any of you realize

Maybe I’m just old but this guy sounds like a real old school coach to me. A throwback coach, if you will. It’s obvious he uses football as a means to hold young men accountable. Say what you will, it’s pretty ballsy to sideline kids over a relatively small violation.  He definitely thinks discipline is more important than winning. This article makes me like the guy and gives me some idea why his tenure was so short. I’d like to see this type of accountability at all schools.

100% When I say he was born to Coach Football I'm not just saying it.

Oh I have no doubt. If they cared about their football program they would have kept Ferguson. Everyone can get on here and say what they want including me but if you wanna win football games you hire that man. Maybe they wouldn't have won many this year but within 5 years (probably closer to 3) they'd be a very good football team.

He was trying to prevent injuries. I completely understand the reason behind the rule.

Do you think Scott Surratt or John King would tell his players not to go to a breakfast at a church because they might get injured ???

My son is on the team.

There was no church breakfast provided and no one disciplined for attending any breakfast provided.

The team has eaten breakfast twice, both provided by 2 mothers. Wish there was more parental involvement but this is all that has helped. From my understanding donations by a handful have made this possible. All breakfasts my son has attended were at the dressing room. 

Cotton, have you volunteered to help? Have you donated any money? I'm just curious. 

This is an LK problem way older than every player we have. I've known SS a long time. Do call him and get his opinion on all this.

So, Pinecrest Baptist Church did not volunteer to feed the kids breakfast, and they weren’t told the players could not come ? 
I talk to Scott every now and then, might even talk to him tonight.

Absolutely. There is no reason for kids to compete with their friends and play sports, likely outside. Instead of playing video games and/or doing things that get young men in trouble or around the wrong crowds.

Thanks for your input Coach Ferguson.

Replaced Head Coach in the middle of the 2020 season with an interim. That's two in 2020 , One in 2021, One in 2022-2023. in 2024 three coaches.  So add them up it comes to 7 men at the helm of LK from 2020 to 2024

Definitely not... I'm a Joaquin guy been here(smoaky) for probably 12-13 years... As a matter of a fact I don't like Coach Ferguson in the slightest but I'm not a liar and the man is very good at his job. My sons don't play football but if they did I'd want them to play for a Coach like Ferguson.

Man that's crazy. So what's the problem? The community? The kids?  The administration?
