How to deal with a high school coach who is living in the past?
Every year I have student-athletes' parents that have major gripes about their sons' high school football coaches. At first –having played the game for a very long time– I realize it is very hard to please every parent and the coach has a job to do–try and win football games. But when players are lied to and most of the parents are displeased, it is hard to swallow. The only difference being, these coaches simply does not know the game of football at the next level. I was told earlier by several parents that their son's, who are having terrific seasons at the fullback positions, were told they were to small to play at the next level at the Fullback position. The top class of 2018 fullbacks are listed below from 247 sports and our #1 FB in the nation, is actually bigger than most of these recruits below.
The Position Change is not the issue, it's the fabrication of why.How big is your typical fullback or h-back in college football today?
5'11,228lbs is bigger than the starting fullback for Georgia Tech and others in various schemes in college football. If performance was the issue, well, he would not have tallied the most votes in our entire polls for two straight weeks. Both 2020 RB/FB Eddie Gubinski and 2019 FB/LB Jimmy Bates are plenty big enough and athletic enough to fill either role at the next level. When I look across the landscape of college football, even the SEC conference has gotten considerably smaller at the H-BACK and FB potions. College Football Today has a Biletnikoff and Maxwell watch-list member in Laviska Shenault Jr who operates as a H-Back/WR for the 4-0 Colorado Buffs. Georgia Tech has a awesome B-Back in Kirvonte Benson who is featured below, who is 5'9,208LBS of solid muscle.
