I don't think that's a fair statement right now. He had his issues with FireballI believe that he has shown that.
When does he get a break?

Yeah and he may not be cut out to be a HC.
CU.....really not a top notch football factory....as wasnt miss State....Some dudes don't even get 1 chance or break... CU offered him another....
This will mark my 27 1/2 year in education. It will also mark my final year. I made a promise to my youngest that I would stay until she graduated. She graduates this year from the HS. Education is definitely a calling much like a preacher. I tip my cap to your missus! My parents both spent 30+ years in education. It is often a thankless profession.
I always likened it to a nurse....or preacher too..
DEFINITELY a high burn out job... especially these days....
Congrats to you...hope ur last year is productive and SAFE...
It’s the parents that changed.
@TerryP , you and the others might notice that I am on more today than probably the last 3-4 months. Our schools went back today, teachers only until the 20th, when our students report. @alabama mike, I don't know about y'all, but we are going to have a major number of hoops to jump through this year when it comes to our schools and the guidelines set forth by our health department and CDC. Fun times!!

Yup. We're getting soft
We are color coded here, but we are offering 3 options for our kids in my system. Traditional- in person and face to face, blended- 1-2 days a week, student has to come on campus for state exams or other exams, and 100% virtual. The last 2 options require a meeting with parents to make sure it is the right choice “learning wise” and then they will be closely monitored at the 9 week mark to see if a change is needed.@UAgrad93
In Ohio, we have a 4 tiered emergency system in place. Yellow- 100% in school. Orange- 50% in school using an AB schedule. A comes 2 days while B is online and then rotate. Red- 25% in school using an A,B,C & D schedule. Its a mix of group A coming with B,C & D online and then rotates. Purple- 100% online. Right now, our county is in orange but we are thinking we will go back to red any day. The big 8 districts from Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Akron, Canton, Youngstown and Cleveland are all red. Many of the larger districts have also canceled fall sports. I would not be surprised if the governor, state health commission and state department of education puts the entire state online for the first nine weeks. Its a mess and there are no easy answers. Every single time we develop a plan of action, the state or local health officials change something.
This is year 35 for me. I am starting my 31st in Ohio, 15th as principal. I have 4 years out of state, 1 in Bama and 3 in Tn. It cost too much to buy the out of state years. I need to get to 33 or 34 before I retire from Ohio due to retirement changes with our state teachers retirement system. The new system requires 35 years teaching AND age 60 before you can retire with full benefits.

I appreciate it!! I look forward to the next chapter!Congratulations and thanks for hanging in and making a difference. Good luck in what life brings next. My cousin is beginning her first year of retirement from teaching after about the same tenure. She set up a breakfast food truck (trailer, actually) near Lake Martin and is having a blast.
Appreciate it! I don’t know whether to say that I am blessed or cursed to have been in education this long. I didn’t make the decision to get in to it until after I left the team as a walk on. I decided then that I wanted to stay involved with athletics, either as a coach or a trainer. Felt I could make the bigger and better impact as a teacher. My parents, both teachers, were split on the news I gave them. My dad was “you got to enjoy what you are going to do. All the money in the world doesn’t mean shit if you ain’t happy!” My mom was so mad! “You aren’t going to make any money!” That was it for the next 3 weeks. She wouldn’t speak to me for 3 weeks!!!UAgrad93, SALUTE!!
