I've read through all of the HS Football threads, and can't always tell which LB poster are serious and which are tolls, but enough has been said about Coach Doc "teaching those boys character", I just have to through this out there.
Regarding personal character, LB was one of the worst team in the region last year under Doc. It's not unusual for players to mouth off on the field during plays, in fact, that's part of the game. But LB had a group of players who would stand on the sideline spending most of the game talking to opposing players. It was very evident on kickoff's but happened throughout the game.
After the Robinson game, one of the LB players said something to a Robinson player during post game handshake that resulted in the Robinson player throwing a punch. The Robo player, the best player on their team, was suspended by Robinson's coach for two weeks, including a crucial game against SoCo. The LB kid missed no playing time. The words the player used were far worst that what the previous coach had been fired for.
Going back to last spring during 7v7, the LB players were constantly running their mouths to the point starting fights on the field. In fact, during the Falls Church tournament, at least two fights started, one involving LB coaches. Neither of the other teams had any issues in any other games.
I have never met the last coach, and wouldn't know him if he started talking to me, but I know this type of stuff never happened when he was there. I don't meant that as a judgement on him, but more as a point to say Coach Doc and the new staff are certainly not teaching those kids about character. They may be talking about it, but the proof is in actions, not words.
So stop with all of crap about teaching those boys to be men. And start holding the new staff accountable for their actions.
