I was thinking something along this line of thought...

I've watched more soccer than you have posts; plus they couldn't afford me. This is an example of a few parents blaming poor performance on the coach instead of just maybe their child is not as good as they think they are. Thats never happened before. They look good when they are with their club team but when they are on an island by themselves; they don't look so good. Should be a good job for someone with all the talent coming back and coming up: if you can handle the drama.
Oh by the way; What does a midget in the NBA and Boiling Springs soccer have in common. No coach in hell can help either one.

Dude, why so nasty?

You posted and posted and posted on JL Mann, logic would dictate at least the thought of you thinking about/being their coach. If something, happened at Hanna, Hobo, and that [censored] piece of cardboard would come to mind. It may not make sense but, yes, it would come to mind.

To switch gears, are you saying some JL Mann parents got rid of the coach? I do not see anything on here to suggest, parents versus a coach, not on this thread.

Maybe I will. How many red cards is a coach allowed during a season. That could be an issue.

Parents SHOULD have a voice in these things. NOT the decisive voice. But a voice.

Agreed...a responsible administration should take the voices of ALL stakeholders into account in order to come to an informed, professional decision for the overall benefit of the program. Good leaders know how to hear and weigh all sides without automatically deferring to any.

Agreed. Thats where it usually starts. Booster club etc.. The problem is when certain parents feel the need to go above the chain of command. When the state head of atheletics is getting emails it becomes a problem. Your high school ad and principal don't like phone calls from state officials concerning high school soccer coaches. Nor do they respond to threats. Actually slows the process down.

If coaches are affected because parents are up in arms about certain issues, then those parents' names need to be divulged since only a couple of coaches could be affected at "said school".

Agree too, that parents should have a voice; however, it should be ALL parents, not just the parent's who are really upset about playing time, where their child plays etc. It's sad.

rivrat: My thought is simple. No SINGLE parent should be afraid or hesitant to express concerns, and the proper authority SHOULD be willing to listen, investigate, etc.
Conversely, no SINGLE parent should have an authoritarian say over team/school policies.

Agreed, A parent should be able to PARENT. It becomes something else when a PARENT solicits complaints to help their own cause. That is when administration REALLY needs to consider sources etc. For some people, the glass is always half empty. Politics seems to sneak into the picture, even in HS sports. Some administrators get scared and delve into the business of parent pleasing, too often, to save their own skin. It doesn’t fix the problem with a new coach, maybe a new AD that will support his or her coaches. And usually the apple is hitting the roots of the tree as far as whining goes. Whiny parents have whiny kids. It doesn’t teach any life lessons, just continues the cycle of enabling.
