The idea that parents are shopping their kids around is rather appalling. The reality is that very few NKY football players receive any athletic scholarship dollars to attend D1 schools to play football. Less than 1% will play college football. Parents have taken the joy out of the game for these kids. When they realize that they are not D1 talent they become disenfranchised with the game. When I was a kid I played because I loved the game. My parents never once had a conversation with my high school coach other than to shake his hand at the end on my high school career. I do not have an issue with Dads who are coaches- I have been one. I do have an issue with a Dad who became a coach while their son played. That reeks of selfishness. If Dads want to help their sons teach them a strong work ethic, to have respect for authority, and how to be productive whole men. If Dads do that it won't matter who the coaches are every young man will be successful in life.
