The coach/AD does not take the time to stay on top of the other sports, especially during the season and during spring ball. I agree, the positions need to be held by separate people. As a parent of kids that play sports other than football, I get real frustrated with the AD's lack of attention and concern for anything other than "his team". Unfortunately the AD gets evaluated on the performance of the football team, not on his performance as an AD. I think it is a great idea for the booster club to kick in additional funds if they feel they need to do it to attract or retain a coach and his assistants. I have seen a problem on the other side.

You know I've heard a lot of grumbling about Moore's lack of production when it comes to getting scholarships for his Seniors. But when you look at all the kids in college playing ball at the next level who played at Choctaw, then obviously the guy got the job done.There where complaints about everything from the soccer and Baseball fields to lack of discipline blah, blah, blah! How was he supposed to coach football? When your trying to raise money,help all your coaches, get your kids to the next level and answer the phone from the pain in the a$$ parents, then there is no way you can give a 100% to your football team! I could not agree with you more! Hire a very organized and personable AD and then go get the best coach you can afford, if theres not enough money for the coach, have the booster club kick in some.
