re: LHSAA week 7

Quote: Lots of rumors, I can assure you Dotson is a good football coach. Unrealistic expectations can cause people to sour fast. Dotson ran that program when Edwards was the head coach and on top of that Edwards is not much of a "football coach" he is just a good guy. The people in Central need to be patient, there was a reason Edwards left when he did, and you are seeing that reason right now.


I am not bashing Dotson and I am not a new "whatever you referred to me as". He is a good guy for the most part. Don't know him personally and doubt I ever will. He has had his share of off the field issues that he has had to deal with that he shouldn't have to deal with. This team is so young it is scary at times. Watching them that Zachary game was exciting and brought back memories of a few years ago when Central made it to the semis, and I was there then not to mention the quarters. As far as the kid that was born in 1993, I am not a scorned parent by far. But it appears that trust placed in some players isn't really going all that well on and off the field and I am sure he would agree to an extent. This man needs to concentrate on coaching and building a team, not have to worry about all this junk that is being brought in. I am sure that it will all come out before this year is over, but no coach should have to worry about the next slug fest, when the next prank is going to happen that hurts someone or damages innocent peoples property, or phone calls that one of his players is in trouble. This guy was paid to coach and he needs to do that. Just a note: returning players from last year on defense - 4. Everyone else is new and they have had little time at this level prior to this year. The rest of the defense is Juniors, Sophmores and an outstanding Freshman that shocked many last week. So if you think I am a dotson basher, no I am not but I don't like to hear about all the stuff that is going on. What players do unfortunately reflects on their coach, which is not fair to this man. True the play calling is questionable but who am I to question that, hey if it worked and Central scored we would have loved him for it and take him out to dinner or something. What I did see is all the finger pointing, yelling at each other on the field and justificating to the coach why players didn't or couldn't make plays, that will destroy even the best of teams. After 20 yrs of coaching I assure you I am no idiot or whatever that punk referred to me as. I have two state championship rings and one national championship ring on my fingers, how many do you have.
