I gotta say I am genuinely confused at the massive outrage from other schools like every one of you wouldn't pray for the same result if it was your QB.

All these blowhard athletic directors trying to act like they wouldn’t do the exact same thing in the exact same situation had a court of law ruled favorably. I can promise you if this happened at Texas out of nowhere like it did to Tech, arch would be playing.

One of the biggest misconceptions in high school sports is that coaching is primarily about practices, games, and wins. The reality is that coaching has become one of the most challenging roles in education because coaches are expected to wear dozens of hats while being evaluated from every direction. Every parent, player, administrator, and community member often has a different expectation of success. One family wants college recruiting to be the priority. Another wants playing time. Another wants winning. Another wants player development. Another wants discipline. Another simply wants their child to enjoy the experience. The challenge is that those goals frequently conflict, and coaches are often expected to satisfy all of them simultaneously. Most coaches are balancing far more than what happens between the lines. They manage team culture, player conflicts, parent concerns, academics, transportation, fundraising, budgets, equipment, scheduling, eligibility, social media issues, and the emotional needs of teenagers. At the same time, every roster includes athletes with different abilities, goals, motivations, and commitment levels. Some dream of college athletics. Some are trying to make varsity. Some simply want to belong. Building one program that serves all of them is incredibly difficult. Perhaps the greatest challenge is decision-making. Who starts? Who plays? Who sits? Who travels? Who gets moved up? Who gets cut? Every decision creates opportunity for one athlete and disappointment for another. Even well-intentioned decisions can be viewed as favoritism or politics when seen through the lens of an individual family. Recruiting adds another layer of complexity. Coaches are expected to help athletes pursue college opportunities while also managing the needs of an entire team. Supporting one athlete can sometimes raise questions from another family about their child’s opportunities. Social media has amplified many of these challenges. One lineup decision, one difficult conversation, or one emotional moment can quickly become public discussion, often without the full context. There are also pressures many people never see. Pressure from administrators to represent the school well. Pressure from parents to provide opportunities. Pressure from athletes to help them achieve their goals. Pressure from communities that often measure success by wins and losses. Pressure to retain athletes in an era of increasing transfers and movement. And all of this occurs while coaches are trying to develop young people, not just athletes. What makes coaching difficult is not that people don’t care. It’s that everyone cares deeply, but often about different things. Parents focus on their child. Players focus on their opportunities. Administrators focus on the school. Communities focus on results. Coaches must somehow balance all of those interests while making decisions they believe are best for the team. As a former college coach, athletic director, and high school administrator, I’ve learned that most coaches are not trying to hold athletes back, play favorites, or make life difficult for families. Most are simply navigating competing priorities, limited resources, and difficult decisions while trying to do what’s best for kids. Because at its core, coaching has never really been about managing games. It’s about managing people. And that’s what makes it both incredibly challenging and incredibly important

If you can’t lift 5-6x per week AND play 3-4 games per week… You aren’t ready for college baseball. This is your reality at that level. If that is too much for you, join a frat.

Let’s go Vogel! Extremely proud of this guy! @SEUBaseball just got them a steal! Jordan is a heck of a ball player with room to grow!
I am excited to announce that I will be committing to St. Edward’s University. I would like to thank god, my family, coaches and teammates who helped along the way.

Haha. Now do baseball.
The average high school head football coach stipend is around $7,000. Fluctuating heavily For that, they’re expected to coach year-round, run a program, mentor kids, manage parents, recruit their own halls, fundraise, break down film, coordinate staffs, and be available almost 24/7. Football coaches are grossly underpaid for what we ask of them.
