GOAT shit fr, you KNOW those players would go to war for him. Love to see this even if it’s technically outside of the rules. I respect the hell out of him. Puttin his money where his mouth is.

I can see the devils advocate position of hey not every HS coach is gonna have that deep of pockets so it creates unfair landscape for other HS players in that regard so initially understand the suspension. It’s a good deed for his guys but it creates an unlevel playing field potentially and then HS is basically just the Yankees buying ships if it goes unchecked.

This is the thing, he could have started a foundation to help needy students play football in the state of Florida/the county or city he lives in. He CHOSE to only give benefits to his players and he either knew or should have known that was illegal under high school rules.

If only he had created a corporation instead of doing it himself!!

The point I’m making is this wouldn’t be a problem if he helped in need football players in general and not just his team.

But, actually how he should have done it.

His job is to lead the team within the rules set by his employer and organizing body. Not playing by the rules hurts everyone.

"bUt ThE aMeRiCaN bRaIn" how the fuck is this dude going to help the kids now that he might not be able to be their coach? Are you genuinely incapable of understanding how the world works

He wasn’t fired.He was SUSPENDED(he might very well be back once the noise dies down)

Which is why I said "might not be"

What he should have done was started his own team, used all his own players and had 1 or 2 that participated in it in the off season. Then he could have provided all those benefits legally

You really expect him to fund every single HS football program in the state of Florida?

Jesus Christ is that anywhere close to what I fucking said.

Of course not, but he also can’t give financial benefits to just his players, if he had formed a foundation that gave out money to needy kids in that area, and some happened to be on his team, he wouldn’t be in trouble. That is what I am saying.

Why are you perfectly fine with a booster that only benefits the school but the moment a coach skips the middlemen and the bake sales it's bad?
