Let's not sugar coat this, you have to put the blame on the kids and the coaches. I know we live in a world where everyone is used to getting trophies and everyone telling them they are great, but reality is you have to lay blame somewhere.

Let's get back to the Duffy era when kids were tough and had thick skin or they didn't play.

Quit playing sissy ball!

In high school football today all kids don't get trophies. There is only one trophy that means anything and it is the state championship trophy.

Blaming it on the kids is really weak. That is like an artist with a bad painting blaming the paint. Talent might be down right now compared to the historic run yes. But you have to recognize what players can do and put the team in the best situation to win. If that means breaking from your philosophy you break from your philosophy.
