I hate to see kids quit anything. However, if they don't want to be there, then I am sure the coaching staff does not want them there either. The worst case is when kids are forced to quit due to their parents forcing them to quit. I am not sure that is the case here with all or any of the kids but from what I have been told it was the case with at least one. And all of this stuff I am hearing about kids quitting due to not playing the position they want or not getting enough playing time or not enough touches....What ever happened to working harder in practice, sending time after practice to get better, spending time in the off season to better yourself, basically making a statement to the rest of the team that "nobody is going to out work me, I want to play and there is nothing that is going to stand in my way." No we don't see that much nowadays, now if you don't get what you want; quit, transfer, work even less in practice, basically quit while still "on the team." As a good buddy of mine always says about that type of situation Player A has "quit but not told anybody yet." If I were a coach and I told Player X to play this position and he said he would not play that position, he would not have the chance to quit because he would be off my team. You can not win with attitudes like that not 25 years ago, not now, not ever. That type of attitude will dissolve any type of team unity there may be in place. It’s a sad situation to be put in but those type of attitudes must hit the road or your season, program, job, will suffer. If those are the type of attitudes that quit, then I would assume that Paintsville is a better football TEAM this week than they were last week. It was a simple case of addition by subtraction.

Well said!!!:Clap:
