No longer just a coordinator


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Over the past few years, I've been an assistant coach in a local church kids' flag football league, helping out a buddy of mine who was a head coach.

 

Well this season, they had a lot more kids join up at the 6th to 8th grade level, and they needed additional head coaches.

 

And thus, after several seasons as a hot coordinator who kept getting passed over, I finally got a head coaching job B)

 

Have to say the job interview was pretty rigorous.

 

"You wanna coach a team this year?"

 

"Sure."

 

"Good!  Why don't you coach this team?"

 

"Okay,  I'll do it."

 

Luckily, I kept my cool, answered the questions, said the right things and made it through the process.

 

So as of now, I run my own practices, write and call my own plays, mentor my quarterback, make in-game adjustments, give my own speeches that the kids pretend to listen to...the whole nine yards.

 

It's been a blast so far :D

Do you have a LT?

 

I have a quarterback, a runningback and four receivers (and/or five defenders, depending on who has the ball)

.

If I did have a left tackle, he'd have to stay out of the sight lines,  My sixth grader quarterback would make Drew Brees look like Goliath :lol:

If you need to juice the kids up lmk I have a friend of a friend.

He has apple and orange juice. ;)

 

My quarterback might need some HGH :unsure:

 

When I say he's about half the size of the rest of the team, I'm not exaggerating much.  I'm not sure if he's reached four feet tall yet.

 

So why is he the quarterback?

 

Because he's got a rocket launcher for an arm, throws a perfect spiral and if I tell him "look off the safety", he knows what I mean :lol:

Wow... took you less time to get a head coaching job than Ron Rivera.

 

Screw the playbook, you better start working on your repertoire of cliche answers for the reporters.

 

"One week at a time"

"It is what it is"

"We play all four quarters"

 

I plan to use the Belichick approach (i.e. mostly mumble and answer nothing).

No wildcat? Give us the playbook

 

Prove to me you don't work for Belichick first.

 

 

Do you deflate the balls?

 

No. but that's been a running gag.  Most of the kids know the story.

 

One of our other coaches said to the group, "Tell Tom Brady if these kids can play with fully inflated footballs, so can he" :lol:

    • Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
