Unless things have changed Coach Haywood's role has been as a guidance counselor at Belfry, a job he takes very seriously. He was a pretty good one to me, I never played for him but never felt he anything but my best interest at heart, even after I had a "confrontation" with him and the principal at the time over state testing and my refusal to take it as a senior. He never treated me unfairly and even helped me get a scholarship after the state testing disagreement. He may have been a teacher in the past at P-Burg but for as long as I can remember he's been a guidance counselor for Belfry, so he's not "wasting" a space in a classroom.

I was using that as an example- NOT as a fact- for the bigger picture. obviously I have no idea how well he does or doesn't do his job, nor really care, it was a metaphor. He may be the best thing since sliced bread, that's not the point, and that's not the basis of the post. It wasn't meant as a personal attack- obviously- or I wouldn't have put my schools coach in there. No need to get pissy about it brother. You looked at one line of the entire post and took it personal when that's not the context it was meant for. Sorry if it "offended" you. I said there is a lot of coaches who do well as teachers, according to your history with him, he probably belongs in that group (even though hes a counselor). The message is, why are we making great coaches take up spots as teachers, when their heart isn't in it, when someone else's would? We basically hire them to coach, let them coach. Or do you disagree with that?
