3. If he continues to have success, he's likely in line for an NFL HC job. College fans don't want to accept this, but the NFL provides a better quality of life for a coach. A NFL coach doesn't have to go around the country year-round to beg HS kids (and their agents) to come play for him. He doesn't have to constantly recruit his own roster to stay. He doesn't have to deal with kids constantly trying to leverage him for more and more money because they don't have an employment contract. Plus, the job security in college is no better than the NFL now. At least in the NFL coaches get an actual offseason. That's not the case in college.

This all day. He's most likely going to get offered NFL HC jobs this offseason. Maybe even coaching Burrow again if the Bengals decide to cut ties with ZT

Wasn't it also pretty well known that Brady wanted no part of having to recruit teenagers 24/7/365 as a college coach?

It was one of the most tone deaf statements an LSU HC in any sport has ever made. Yes we are spoiled and our expectations are very high and your contract reflects those expectations. If he were making a salary towards the bottom of the SEC and our media and fans were making these comments after a win against Florida, then yeah I could see his point. But when you are one of the highest earners in the sport, a lot will be demanded of you

The losers imo were James Sands, CCV for being the only healthy scratch among position players besides Agyemang, and most of all, Agyemang who saw Haji Wright completely leapfrog him on the pecking order. I would also say Alex Freeman didn’t really distinguish himself in any way.

---

I think Miles Robinson was a loser as well. He got skinned several times in this window

I would imagine with Adams he is a known commodity and he is getting a look at Morris and Tessman which I am very glad both of them are in this camp

I don't get the Scally thing. He is much further along than Freeman and can also play RCB in a 3 man backline as well. Just very strange

Sargent appears to be toast. Big Pat is back. Yay? Glad as well that Haji is in this camp

Yunus also appears to be on the outs

Freeman coming into his own gives us freedom to use Dest in multiple positions and not tied to RB which is clutch.

Kid has promise but IMO still a ways to go. A few times last night I remember the ball getting to his feet at the edge of the top of the 18 and he just stood on it and lumped a cross to the far side of the box. He also had that one WTF moment where he shielded a ball that was running out before remembering at the last second that it was us who had touched it last

Defensively solid, still not sure I have him ahead of Scally though

What’s the Y-3 on the jersey?

Y are these 3 fricks (Blackmon, Roldan, Arf) starting?

That's good. For this AX team in our league the closest away game for them is in BR :lol:

You still can’t convince me that a 4 hour round trip to play a 60 min game is more beneficial to these girls than playing 5 v5 while doing tech training before or partnering with another local club to have more in game experience.

Whenever I spend more time in the car than my kids get on the pitch I consider it a waste of time. At a development age I would argue reps>>>>>>>>>anything else.

I've even voiced this directly to the club that driving to a game doesn't make my kid a better player. Yes they need to be playing a similar level of competition but you can find enough of those teams to keep playing within an hour's drive

We have a team from Alexandria in our league this year. When we have to travel there in the spring for one game I am going to lose it

Good read. I really like the idea of creating regions across the country within US soccer and having the kids feed up to those regional offices and teams.

I saw the quote from the guy with ECNL so I had to comment on this ongoing ordeal in Mandeville. MSC is in its first season now with ECNL after having moved from the Gulf South whatever league. The higher ups at MSC are so damn gung ho about competing in these ECNL games selling it as a "tougher challenge" and a "big step up in competition" and "must win games". When you look a little deeper you see it's a good bit of the same teams we would normally play anyway. Also at the end of the day, competing in a different league is one thing. But it's not going to change the most important thing which is how is MSC as a club going to change? Are these coaches that are leading the club going to adapt to better training regimens? Are they going to fire themselves for better coaches? Or is this all just a ploy to "get in a better league" to justify what will inevitably be a fee increase for all players in the club?
