Coach Herman for one. Don't believe Roger Bryant is participating at all. Probably a better question is who is still there that is "worth a darn".What coaches did they lose that was worth a darn

I don't doubt that the current coaches care about the kids. But it takes much more than that to be an effective coach.Not really sure how you could say that. The coaches that care about the kids are still there. People at the school say Herman is all about being in the spotlight. He wasn't much of a coach Coach Bryant was a very good coach. From my understanding he is no longer at the school but stops by the coaches office from time to time to give input. He is a very good man and I will always wish him the best.

I believe that both of the coaches I mentioned care deeply about the kids and are better from a technical perspective than anyone currently on staff. Perhaps most importantly, they both insisted on character and discipline. That is something badly needed in the Bulldog program.
Haven't called any coach ineffective. But I stand by my belief that the two coaches who are no longer there were very effective. Their presence will be missed. As will all of the Allen Brown mentees who have left in the last 3-4 years.I personally know all of these so called ineffective coaches. Herman chose to leave, Bryant chose to retire. Until you work 12+ hours a day 6-7 days a week teaching, planning, preparing, coaching, mentoring and taking care of these young men then your effective coaching statement is based on ignorance, and misinformation. Do you personally or professionally know these current staff members, their accomplishments as teachers and coaches? Have you worked on the sideline. At practice or in a meeting with them? I know the answer, but wanted to ask anyways!
Wow71, sounds like you're close to the program. If so, you probably know the backstory of those departures at least as well as I do. And that there is a common thread running through them.Agreed both were very effective veterans and awesome people. Cannot speak to why AB's guys have left other than choosing to leave, retired from coaching, more money in the county schools, etc. Do know the current staff is working hard on molding these young men into good football players, but more importantly good citizens.
Thanks Buddy. Wasn't sure if we had a JV game tomorrow night. Can't find much information locally.Not yet OC, but we hope to when conference play starts..We're 2 or 3 kids short at the moment..
Well said, GTD. Big loss for our athletic program and for our community.Anybody who think coach Herman wants to be in the spotlight is a piece of shit honestly. I know for a fact that the man has given more than his fair share of personal time and money above and beyond the ridiculous hours coaches work anyways to provide for kids that he coaches that don't have support at home. Things like buying kids cleats. Taking kids to college visits for wrestling and football Bc their parents were half ass. Getting kids school clothes, etc. he's been doing it for years at every school he's coach at. Not a selfish bone in his body. Great human being and shame on you for throwing his name out there as such.
And he left for the same reasons everybody else has left. Sick of all the BS that is thomasville city schools and the lack of support for the efforts being done specific to athletics.
