“There’s a lot of busy things going on in your mind when you’re head coach. It’s hard to just turn it off,” said McCreary. “You’d like a little more time. Football has gotten to where it’s year-round. It just felt like the right time to do it.”(on retiring)

A quote from the man who is going to lead our football program.....This is the guy who is going to put in the time necessary to be successful????

This will sound blasphemous, but this is the reason you hear from MANY that get out of it...but, they can only say it after they resign/retire.

The summer months are wearing people down & I get it. It'd help if coaches were compensated for their time in June/July like they used to be (almost all coaches back in the day(s) used to get Extended Day pay--that's not the case anymore). I've heard a couple of 'old timers' that have retired after 30 or so years, state titles, etc say that they'd make sure extended days were given or else they'd tell the hiring committee's that their plan would then be to tell the boys on the last day of school 'see you boys August 1st'.
