Folsom Football

I've run into a lot of former players this season, and the question that I regularly get is how it is going at ___ High School this year. Just in case any are checking this site - I am NOT coaching this year. I helped out at one school this summer, but never joined that staff. Instead, I chose to take a year off.

It's been both hard and very enjoyable. I miss a lot of things about coaching. I don't miss a lot of things about coaching. But come Friday nights, I always feel like I should be someplace other than watching Numbers.

Sitting in the stands is rough. Especially listening to the parents. Some of the comments are as brutal as they are lacking insight. I guess its a right of fans to second-guess coaches, scheme, strategy, players, officials and play calls. I find myself doing it. Sometimes. But I mostly have empathy for the coaches.
