Saw this interesting article on CNN this morning. Its thrust is that being a high school head football coach comes with a lot more consideration these days than just the X's and O's, Jimmys and Joes:
"There's a new philosophy in many administrations and among the general public that tough coaching is no longer wanted," Mascera says. "And no longer acceptable. But there's no definition of tough."
I grew up and played under some pretty tough HS coaches. And I coached for a couple of decades at the middle school level myself. It's a tough profession at any level. But parental and player attitudes are changing, and the expectation is that coaches are going to have to change, too.
Oh, Brave New World!
