OT: Proud Dad - My son is the new OC

[RUPsyched]

Hello,

My son, Michael, is a rising Junior and former Safety at Rhodes College. Earlier this year, he was appointed to be the football team's Quality Control Coach. However, Rhodes closed the campus this fall and the SAA Conference cancelled all fall sports. Classes will be online.

The last couple of years, Michael volunteered to help with the his HS football team during spring practices. So, he contacted the coach and told him he would be available to help this fall. The coach hired him as OC for the Freshman team. Hired as in Michael will be paid.

Funny thing. There is a Georgia law that states that football coaches must be at least 21 before having any contact with the students/athletes. So, Michael won't have any student contact until his 21st Birthday on 9/6 wink wink nod nod. While there is no doubt the AD knows that Michael was hired, until 9/6, the AD cannot see Michael working with the students. So, part of his job will be "AD watch". I wonder if there will be AD sighting drills?

I have a niece who is starting her senior year at Rhodes. Loves it. They have an off campus house so they are going back despite it being virtual in the Fall.

Why isn't he pulling the QB for the backup? Doesn't he know that guy is killing the team?

Congrats!

..or does it? Its SEC Country. Anyone not bending the rules is cutting his own throat. I suppose that is what was meant by :Laughing

Lassiter has excellent sports facilities. One of the best I've seen.

What kinda offense?

 

[RUPsyched]

What kinda offense?

Old school single wing IIRC. But a very simplified version of what the varsity runs. Winning games is nice, but its all about getting the kids ready for the next level.

I went to the new gym opening last year. It is an amazing facility. We have the nicest high school softball field I've ever seen, too. The field looks better than the one Rutgers plays on, sadly.

My Grand Daughter is doing the same at her school and a friend's daughter at hers. The kids seem to want to be out of the house and on their own on campus,even if it is virtual at the school.

Congratulations! I played center for Southwestern at Memphis(now Rhodes) back in my day. Beautiful campus, small D3 school but a quality educational opportunity.

Best wishes on his new career path!

Hey, Southern Gentleman, I hope this finds you doing well! Interesting, I never realized that you were a "Rhodes" scholar? :WideSmile:
