I am well aware of the incident you are talking about, which didn't happen and was backed up by video. This is the issue in Monett. Some parents want to win, some parents want to hold the coaches baby or kiss his butt so they can get their kid playing time. That's working great. Keep up the good work with the next coach. Monett won't win until the jealous, fake parents stay away from the coaches and let them figure it out for themselves. Clean house, don't listen to anyone who was ever on the sideline this year. Why don't we talk about the real problems the football team had?
The coach started a QB that had never played QB and hadn't played football in 3 out of the last 4 years. His dad was always talking to the coach though, and his mom works in the administrative offices. Weird...
Monett lost 20 plus seniors from last year, without much to replace them. Only two kids played both ways. He had favorites that needed to play. Worked great.
Secret meetings. He would call kids, send them texts and call them in on weekends, individually. He would promise them bigger roles which never happened. He did this so much, that the administration made him delete his contacts and he was only allowed to communicate with them through the school app.
Cussing. He and his staff would constantly drop F-bombs at the kids, call them traitors, selfish and jealous. Again, he met with the administration, and was told to stop. I don't have a huge issue with cussing, but some parents did.
Lies. His resume included some questionable things that didn't check out.
Blaming the parents is lazy and inaccurate. The kids work too hard all year for all of this Monett nonsense, all to go 0-10 with seven turbo clocks.
