Stan, I mean no disrespect to you. But maybe you should stop with the complaining. I've coached for many years at your sons level and we always scrimmage the upper level kids. It seems to me that your son maybe picking up on your negative comments. I disagree with anyone that has said it would be Ok for your son to quit. thats the easy way out. Calling an leaving a message is wrong. I've told my kids you can play anything you want to play. But just remember once you start you with finish the season. Has the coached asked your son were he wants to play? Maybe he is not playing a position he likes? Maybe he wants to play defense.

I'm having a problem on my team and I'm not sure how to deal with it. I have an assistant coach who is causing a problem on our team. He runs the offense and he continues to go against everything I have told him to do. We are a 6-7-8 year old team. I have 21 kids and 17 of them is there first year. I have put in 8 plays that we are to run but he continues to run what he wants and this is confusing the kids. I'v talked with him many times but he continues to do what he does. He also has a son on our team. His son is pretty good but he thinks hes the next coming of Walter Payton. When he is at the game his son forgets were he is to run or were he is to be on defense. When his dad is not there the kids is great. I think he is afraid of hi dad. Just my feeling. A three weeks ago the kid was limping and I pulled him out of the game. His dad was screaming at him to suck it up. I refused to put him back in the game because I felt he was hurt. Turns out he went to the DR and has a stress fracture. He and his dad returned to practice and he want his son to play. I said you have a dr. release and he said no but he can play. Get the DR. release then he can play. He was not happy and the Dr. would not give a release. Well yesterday he was released by the Dr to play in the game. Again the son forgot were to go on the plays and was just all over the field. His dad was all oer this kid. I want the guy gone. But I feel the son needs to play. I know if I tell him to leave he will take his son to.I dont want to take the game away from him. I need some advise. This guy is just taking everything I have out of me. I've talked with my league Cordinator about it and he said he would take care of it if I wanted him to. Id rather do it myself.
