[Possum Bait]

There are many issues involved. Contrary to what many good ole boys think, a coach is supposed to be a trained educator. Although some do not demonstrate it in any manner, coaches have been trained in school law, psychology, educational theory, writing, oral communication, the liberal arts and many other subjects. There is also the question of state certification which carries a host of legal issues.

It is not the training in X and O's that are at question. Many good ole boys know more football than coaches. Watch high school football any three weekends in a row and you will for sure see at least one coach who does not jack about the sport.
