As far as the video, Taylormade, I feel sorry for y'all but those coaches should not have lasted the rest of that day. I also feel bad that you can't get kids to coach those kids. We have similar in the intercity up here, no good coaches last. We move to "easier" better paying jobs in places with less problems. I do miss the kids I had when I was in the city but the headaches are too much. I felt like I needed to send this to every coach I knew. I thought it was fake when it first started. I had a game last year and we could hear the coaches in the next lockerroom cussing up a storm about me and my kids. I did not say a word and we just listened. Went out and scored 37-0 in the first 7 minutes of the game. If you think that was the “The Bear Bryant” wow, i don’t know where to start to tell you how far off you are.

I can only hope that they dont work anywhere else. After the coach fought the player he told him that he loved him like a son. What he meant was, like a son that he beats rather than disciplines, yells at rather than teaches, and humiliates rather than venerates. Completely pathetic on all fronts. Those kind of things are the things I want to battle against as a coach. That was just plain wrong. Explaining it away as coming from a rough place or a ghetto sure doesnt make me feel any better about it. In my experience those kids need the positive role models more than anyone else since there may not be as many around them. But instead they were beaten. Im sorry to ramble but I have nothing but hatred for people that hit kids, even if they are 16-18 year olds with the body of men. Disgusting Im just glad that those coaches got fired.

Everyone was appalled at the behavior and almost all comments articulated the concerns about leadership, modeling, discipline, ethics, and the concern for the players. While some people were pissed about, "worth watching", I did think it was worth watching, as it completely reinforeced my beliefs about what I am doing as a coach. We must all understand this was an aberration, not the norm. Afer reading all of the comments I feel much better about our profession as high school coaches.
