When I was growing up there was ONE coach and the TEAM.
Check out this photo of the Florida State Seminoles at McCamish Pavilion vs. Georgia Tech. How many coaches and trainers do you need? Besides all the suits standing, the real coach is kneeling on the floor in the huddle.
It's not just this way with the Seminoles. Tech and all the teams are this way.
What is the coach-to-player ratio? 1-to-1?
Don't get me wrong, I love sports and my son and I enjoyed a great time together at the Tech game vs. the Seminoles. But, as I sat there and looked at the bench, half-filled with grown men in suits, it was truly laughable.
My opinion...sports are often taken way too seriously today. My vote, let's go back to ONE coach and the TEAM.
