Do you think Florida Coaches are properly Developing Recruits?

High school football throughout the rest of the country has caught up to Florida high school football. There used to be a disparity, but now there is none. What they lack in athleticism and speed, they make up for with skill and development.

Urban Meyer is generally correct.

True. But when you leave the classroom and pursue a graduate degree in administration and get promoted, the pay does not go up much at all and there are no bonuses or salary hikes. Complete BS. However I am happy for our teachers. They indeed deserve every penny

They're still under payed. A bunch of them hold second jobs. In Miami-Dade the teachers between 10-17 years of service are still owed 7 years of a step freeze....

It really is pathetic isn't it. While I was still in the classroom with 12 yrs experience I still was under 40 grand per year. I had to work after hours going to kids homes 24 extra hours per week teaching homebound special needs students, just to pay the bills. On top of ridiculous student loan debt.

It's disgusting, I'm related to a **** load of educators. I try to find them work all the time.

Wasn't that just a proposal and only for new teachers? I read the legislature said that in order to raise the starting salary to 42k, which isn't much, they'd have to cut funding for programs. Of course, that wouldn't work because all the tenured teachers won't get anything.
It's a mess but I don't think the raise happened but I'm sure you'd know. The only thing I saw that he did change was common core and he wants to change the best and brightest bonus program; which was also a joke.
 
I don't necessarily think it's the lack of coaching, there's good and ****** coaching every where. HS has **** coaches, college has **** coaches, heck even the NFL has some **** coaches..

Where I think the biggest difference is multi- sport athletes.... Track is awesome and you can determine speed and explosion from track times/results but I want to see more kids at Miami who play basketball/baseball/wrestling as well. Those kids have developed such a wide range of skill and athletic ability. Alot of the great HOF players were 2-3 sport athletes, not football/7v7... 7v7 has tons of benefits but I'd rather that be someone's 4th sport than 2nd..

HS coaches in GA and TX make 6 figures to just coach. There staff probably makes north of 50k each just to coach. The majority of coaches in Florida are teaches and get paid a 5000 stipend or something like that to be a HC. It’s less for a position coach. Let that sink in

They would be ahead just on budget. Imagine how much more travel and development coaches from those states can do to stay on the cutting edge.

Many Florida coaches know football, but they themselves are not being developed to their full potential.

Florida has an older more transient population as well. This means there isn’t as much of a hometown commitment to developing players from youth in the same way as those other states. There are many communities in Texas and Georgia that literally live and die by football. They pack stadiums for high school games like colleges. Florida ain’t on that level.

Youth football pays nothing unless you've got a nice benefactor at your park that hooks you up with a little extra. Its just parents, former players, community guys, etc. that just want to help out. Considering South Florida has the best youth football in the nation and its not close, the coaching can't be THAT bad at that level.

When you get to the high school level, you get a 5K stipend before taxes on top of your teaching job (or some job you likely have with the school) to be the head coach, a few other coaches might get an assistant stipend 2K and change before taxes. Many others on staff are just volunteers.

I mean, per dollar, its the best coaching in America. Most programs, even the top ones, are nickel and diming the entire operation from staff to facilities, etc.

Thoughts? I watched a video on Urban Meyer saying Florida players aren't being developed properly outside of the Lakeland and St Thomas type programs.

Lol the best players from every top program in the nation are usually from Florida , urban Meyer had one the best College QB in history Tebow on his squad
 
One of the dumbest threads ever, go and count how many State Championships we been bringing back over the last 20 years, and than count how many players from down here become the best in any league.it sounds stupid for any coach to say that about players from here, especially a college coach, that's what college is for, to train amateur athletes, do college coaches somehow now are expecting players to come to tgem ready made. WTF is wrong with oscar cryer, that lying weasel needs to STFU, and if he's going to be doing any talking, can explain yo us why his qb's dont pan out in the nfl.

You need to watch the TV show Friday Night Tykes if you think SoFla youth coaches are terrible. There were some glimpses of good coaching on there, but for the most part, the coaches were horrible, which is par for the course for the rest of the country.

A lot of head coaches in TX and GA get paid over 90k.
Coordinators usually get a 12k+ stipend while position coaches receive 10k.
At least that's what I hear from my buddies who coach up there.

Down here a head coach gets a 5k stipend (roughly) while a few lucky assistants receive around 2k.
Many of the coaches are doing it for free.

I am a dumbass for not studying every post you have ever made in your life? LMAO! This is very surprising considering how biased you are towards football and Florida in general. I was expecting you to give us a bunch of unsubstatiated statements about how Bill Bellichek could never hope to be half the coach of Belen Jesuits assisstant coach.
