My oldest boys a senior he loves his football . He has always played defense end form the time he started at 6 years old always did great there , here my bitch his sucks ass coach moved him to offence tackle, He does great there.
now he wants to go back to defensive end but the coach wanted him to stay there I want to tell the coach to move him back that's where his wants to be .
the wife said stay out of it but he and I think I should say some thing .and they are not on a winning streak of any kind the have only won 2 games a year . So question is should I push the issue? they only have 2 games left .or keep my mouth shut and wait till he hits collage ball so he can do what he wants ..

Why would a college coach be any more inclined to let your son play where he wants than where that coach feels he best serves the team? Agree with them or not, coaches are hired to make such decisions.

Yeah but he volunteered to step in for a kid that got hurt ,because nobody wanted to .
he is 6'3 205 he is not a lineman over 300 . He has the speed and talent to play defense he always has till this year .
And he has already tried out for Denison and they where very happy with him . And want him to come play for them . Not that he is going pro he wants to play while he goes to collage . And they even questioned him on offence .

As a former starting offensive lineman (graduated last spring) . I Would say 100 percent don't sweat it. College lineman are not 200 pounds. When he gets to college he will be put at D line and from my experience when you are in college you are able to be more open and state your opinions to coaches because they treat you like grown men(disregard what dude said^^^) dont worry about it pops

Denison invited us down for a game, he gets to go with the team from pre game and be on the side line for the game he's pumped about it .

I coach baseball and nothing I hate more is when a parent comes to me and says my son should play here. My reply to that is ok and that boy moves to the bench or gets cut. I play the boys where they will best serve the team not where they want to play at. If that was the case I would have a whole team of 1st basemen and pitchers. I guess where I'm going with this is stay out of it. Let it ride. You don't have to agree with the coach but it's his decision where he plays at.

Yes I get that ,but he played def end before the other kid got hurt ,
he wants to go back there .

I dont get the complaint. everyone knows O-line is where the badasses reside

That's between him and his coach. All I'm saying is I would stay out of it. He volunteered to go there so until someone else says they want to play there he is probably stuck.

If he goes back to defense, who is going to fill the offense spot? Coach is looking out for the team, not individual players.

Precisely.

Might be further ahead having him ask the coach for some reps on defense during practice.

Yeah he's a dick . He told me to not question his actions . If my kid wanted to keep playing on his team ..
really happened.

That's what I tell my kids's parents. If they don't like it they can leave. Nothing more annoying than parents complaining about where there kids are playing or not playing.

Yeah but there kids , not NFL super stars . That's how they learn .

By coaches coaching them. By coaches putting them in spots. It's not about your kid or any kid it's about the team and what's best for the team.

You have to remember, he likely gets about 100 calls a week from every jagoff that thinks their son should be starting and this and that. His job is to do the best for the team. I had the exact same situation in college. I played two years of defensive end and was in line to start my junior year, but we were short on the O-line. We had people who could replace me on defense, so I switched to Center, a position I had never played before. I started two years (one at Center, one at Guard), and my playing weight was 260, and I wasn't the smallest one. I should also add that we were damn good too, my alma mater currently holds the longest streak of playoff appearances in NAIA and is sitting #1 in the rankings. It's cliche as fuck, but it's not the size of the dog. Let this one go, even if the coach is a dick, there is nothing you can do that will make it any better.

Yeah we had senior night last night it was the last home game . Senior dads got to hang out all day pre game walk through team meal the walk over stand on the side lines locker room half time Bullshit .

I am not the only one who questioned the coaches action .all 10 senior dads that showed where like what the Fuck the whole time .

No offense. But in my experience, less than half of high school dads know shit about coaching football.

Oh I coached football for 10 years thanks , 3 years as assistant Coach, 7 years as head coach , 5 years as athletic director. I think I may know what it takes maybe just a bit .
and l am realistic about my kids abilities . And what he can and can't do . Yeah it not like I am bitching about running the ball or quarterback he doesn't have that . But he can follow and crush the guy with the ball well .

Now my 14 soon to be 15 is a Qb ,Hb , receiver and wide receiver.
but only wants defence
