[Red and Black]

Floyd co sports can’t be taken serious anymore. They hire who ever to coach and  most of them are unqualified. They get into coaching not for the players but so their child can play every minute because they can’t earn it. When you get a coach like a jarred Jarrell at blhs who is actually there for the players the school doesn’t have the money to help build a program.

Why would you use Jarred Jarrell as an example? I'm genuinely curious. I appreciate what JJ did as a player at Pburg, and I like his fire and grit, but no coach who is truly there for the players and cares for them deeply would turn a blind eye to the way that a few of those players acted in the Pburg game last month. He could have taught all of his kids a very valuable life lesson in that game when some of them started getting frustrated by calls not going their way and appeared to just give up on trying to play football and score altogether and instead just started trying to hurt or pick fights with the Pburg kids in the 2nd half, but he didn't do anything about it other than yell at the refs. It was a huge teaching oppurtunity for both the kids actively involved in the personal fouls and also the younger kids on the sideline observing the lack of discipline from some of the older players. Instead of trying to punish or correct that behavior he reinforced it by letting it go on without pulling any of them out of the game and actually caring for them by coaching them up to play sportsmanlike, respectful football. Board, funding, or school administrations have nothing to do with that kind of thing. It's just bad, neglectful coaching. Don't want to hijack this thread and make it all about JJ or BL, but it struck me as an odd thing to say after how the most promising season in school history ended with such a shameful performance as that was.
