I respectfully disagree with this mentality! Coaches are already overworked and underpaid as it is. Reducing stipends for coaches who don’t have a CDL is the wrong approach and will only push more coaches out of the profession.
If districts need more coaches to obtain their CDL, incentivize it through additional compensation rather than penalizing those who don’t have one. Coaches already give countless hours beyond the school day to serve their student-athletes.
We should be looking for ways to RETAIN quality coaches, not create more reasons for them to leave the profession! 💯🏈🏀🏌️♂️
Andrew Whitworth says Nick Saban was the only coach willing to tell him the uncomfortable truth during his recruitment, while other schools promised he could remain a tight end, Saban told him he was actually an offensive tackle and framed the decision in a way Whitworth would remember for the rest of his life
“Then Nick Saban got the job at LSU and came to my house. And basically he said, ‘I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t think anybody else is telling you this. You can go to these schools and they’ll sign you as a tight end, but eventually they’re going to move you to tackle. I want to tell you that from the beginning. If you move to tackle, I think you can play in the NFL for as long as you want and have an unbelievable career.’”
“Then he told me, ‘It won’t be a 4-year decision, it’ll be a 40-year one.’ And boy, he couldn’t have nailed it much better.”
“That’s what makes Nick Saban who he is. He had the ability to have a vision for his players, what they were and what they could become, and deliver that message in a way where you had to respect it.”
“I think having tough conversations is probably the mark of some of the best leaders and coaches I’ve ever been around. There are a lot of people who can coach well. There are a lot of people who can lead well.”
“But the elite ones can have the tough, hard conversations.”
“You might not walk out of the room loving what they said, but you appreciate the message. And you appreciate the guts it takes for somebody to tell you something you might not want to hear.”
They laughed at them but didn’t understand the power they held. First ever All black Head Coach, OC, and DC on the power 4 level. About to show the world what black excellence looks like. Shine Bright Coaches!!
Yall got the attention now.
