[Do-double-gg]

I guess LC should have pitched a shutout, and should do so each game. I mean giving up 2 offensive TD's in 4 quarters of a varsity game, oh my! How horrible is that!!!!!! :lame:

Perhaps there are problems on the football team, or staff, or.....perhaps....a big problem lies in the STANDS?!?!?!?! I hear it every game while sitting in the bleachers....."coach should be doing this....coach should be doing that.....we need a real coach....." Hey, it's probably from you! I don't know who you are, but perhaps so.

Perhaps you should apply for the job? And employ Off-the-Chain as your defensive coordinator? nicker: Neither of you are ever happy with anything. You predicted a beatdown last year against Belfry in the regular season, and this team rose up to the occasion and had them on the ropes. You predict nothing but negatives once the year starts. Before the season, you are real jolly and full up compliments. So, perhaps, your expectations are the problem?

Now, I've had my rant. Either go and support the program or stay the **** home! :moon: This isn't college. These guys are getting paid $100's of thousands of dollars to spend time away from their families. They are doing it for the love of the game and love for their players. Get a grip of what high school athletics is really about. :please:

I stopped reading and started yawning when I got to "the problem is in the stands" The problem is in the stands, why don't you apply for the job bla bla bla same old worn out excuses. I know full well what high school athletics are really about, but at some point the kids deserve to be put in a position to win something. The defense has been the achilles heel of this program for years now and everyone knows it. You don't need to be an NFL coach to see that our defense is undisciplined and have no fundamentals. Those are things that your not born with, but they are taught by coaches. Yes high school sports is about growing up and becoming a man or woman and learning team work and respect for authority, but those kids work their tails of and they want and deserve to go as far as they are willing to work for and their ability will take them. Don't even try to feed people with the "your expectations are way to high" stuff. Go tell those kids that their expectations are way too high because I will guarantee you that every kid on the team wants and expects to win every game. Peoples expectations should be high when the team has the size and athleticism that it has this year. This team should be playing better then this and you know it and every person in that stadium last night knew it. Peoples opinions in the stands about what the coach should be doing has no impact what so ever on this teams poor defensive showing last night and for years and that is just a flat out lame excuse. So you want everyone to lower there expectations and standards.........do you know how bad that sounds? Did you say that out loud before you typed it. That is a flat out cop out for the coaching. Lowering your expectations and standards is something you sometimes do when you have a brand new coach or you graduate a lot of kids on a very good team or you know the cupboard is a little empty but none of those excuses apply in this situation. This team has the talent, size, speed and athleticism to beat any team on their schedule but they don't have the discipline or fundamentals. People are sick of watching talent slip by and people are hungry for this program to be back on top again. It was done here before and it can be done again. The best example would be a team like Belfry. People think they do, but they don't have D1 talent all over the field every year, they may get one here or there but so do we. What Belfry does have is a hard nosed bunch of kids that work hard and they expect to win just like Lawrence County kids. What they do have that we don't is a group of coaches who know exactly what they are doing and know how to take what a kid was born with and make em better and they always put the kids in the absolute best position to win. If you don't think we could ever have a program like Belfry then I'm here to tell you that we already did in the past. You can lower your expectations and settle if you want but not me and I don't think the kids want that either but you can go ask em. Now I've had my rant!
