Meister must have been the greatest football coach ever
...because he's still there after 30 years. What did they do, win the state title every season?
I'm all decked out in red & black.
He was a Phys. Ed. teacher, with coaching as part of his teaching duties. Presumably, he would have had classes, which are not necessary to show for the purposes of the film.
shareOur high school had the same coaches (football & basketball) for my 4 years, and they were there the previous 4, and the 4 after. All of them also taught classes: World Geography, Civics, History, and Driver's Ed. DellaStreet 7/20/09, 1:10P.M.
sharehe's right, high school football coaches don't last that long unless they are winning titles for 30 years.
at least they don't in Ohio and Texas
Bull! My football team was the worst in the state, and we had the same coaches forever, and ever, and ever. They taught many other classes too. In the big football states it may be different, but in most states they don't really care.
shareWhat oceaneyes said, honestly.
In Texas, having a coach for decades is something you do not see; in Oregon, I have to believe they aren't on the same hot seat.
In a lot of the "non-football" states, you have coaches who stay at a school for thirty or more years.
As long as a coach can produce winning teams on a regular basis, dependent upon the expectations of the alumni and school board, a lot of schools will stick with the coach they have, gold ball or no gold ball.
If you've heard of it, it's already too mainstream for me.
Hot seats were around back then?
