If you could change one rule in high school football, what would it be?
A kickoff should not be dead when kicked into the end zone, it should either be downed or returned. Eliminates a crucial exciting part of a football game, and is only a rule in high school. Silly to me. Additionally, I would change the width of our hashes. I have always felt they were way too wide. We should use the college field setup
Besides the pay, the fame and the glory, why do you coach high school football?
I am student focused, the game should be about kids who choose to do something difficult, in order to have fun. I have a blast coaching students, the relationship that we develop is so important. Many kids don’t have adults that they can trust and rely on. I hope I am an adult they can rely on.
What makes your school the best place to coach for?
The kids are fantastic, I love coaching them, and a supportive administration and great community members puts the icing on the cake.
