50. That is an insane amount of coaches

Sun Jan 6, 2013, 12:32 AM

Jan 2013

My significant other is a HS football coach- In every town he has worked here in MA there were 4-6 coaches. 1 head coach and a bunch of assistants. None of these guys make a living doing it. They might make 2-3 thousand for the season and in all honesty, they would probably do it for free.

Also I've spent a decade involved in HS football and I can't for the life of me understand why coaches would be having teen players visiting their homes, especially in a social capacity.

Sounds like that team has gone WAY over alot of lines and should be shut down for a few years to clean out that type of culture.

Disgusting.
