Plenty of ex semi-pro guys with accents and lots of certifications that stink at their coaching jobs ..... on the other hand, Bill Belichick has done ok even though he only played D3 football. -
Hysterical - comparing BB to Belichick. And BB did not even play D3 college soccer - high school soccer is all!Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
And if you are hanging your hat on BB’s coaching prowess then advertise the fact he is a coach! And allow him to train and evaluate at tryouts - stop hiding from everyone that he is the actual real coach of the team.Comment

It’s called club standards, and FC Bucks show they no longer have any! No leadership at the club. Current crew is all about ripping bong hits and eating chicken wings. But I’m sure they will figure it out...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The DA has plenty of rules (no playing HS ball, practicing 4x a week etc) that are not followed so enough about rules and standards just look across the board at other clubs too we are not disimilar.Comment

I agree. Stop hiding it. List him as the coach. Put his picture and bio on the club website. Right now on the ecnl site some guy named Mike Koch is listed as our assistant coach. Who the hell is mike Koch?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

He is the head coach of Quakertown High School. He had filled in for Audrey a few times with this team when they were deep run fc bucks. To my knowledge he has nothing to do with this current team.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

It’s called bait and switch. The club knows it would be a hard sell to parents - getting them to shell out upwards of $10,000 on ECNL as the kids move up age brackets. So they list the real coach as RF because he has the qualifications, and at tryouts do not let BB on the field or anywhere near the team. Once you are on the team you see that the coach you are actually paying for is BB and all the soccer knowledge he has gained from playing high school soccer.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Let’s be honest how many new people that don’t have friends, car pools or BRD’s are going to want to join this team if the club advertises BB as the coach.
The current “happy people” will stay because they have car pools and their kids have friends, and they are afraid to have their kids tryout anywhere else because there is no BRD at other clubs. But you are deluding yourself if you think this team with the dad coach running the show and an uncommunicative checked out head coach will be getting your Mia’s D1 scholarships, or even developing them into better players. The facts are this team is regressing with a record worse than last year and bucks D1 college commitments are few.
If the parents on the team had any foresight whatsoever they would see this team doesn’t have a bright future with an unlicensed, unqualified parent calling all the shots. Even if they really like the unqualified coach, they should be able to see his presence on the sidelines is not what is best for the team.
So if your kid is in it just for the fun of it all - that’s great but stop deluding yourselves into thinking that the patch alone will get your Mia that coveted D1 scholarship. And stop acting like this is some almighty ECNL team when in all reality it is a rec team with a patch.Comment

What would happen if daddy’s daughter doesn’t make the team next year? I would assume he’d step aside. And maybe this thread will finally die.Comment

Of course he would step aside. He aint in this for any other reason. But lets be honest, the entire reason he inserts himself is to guarantee his kid is making the team no matter what, so it is a moot point.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

What is really nuts is the fact that he hasn't stepped aside yet. Its kind of cute when daddy coaches his little girl's team when they are young, but once you move up to FC Bucks (which is supposed to be professional coaches only) and ECNL (which is also supposed to be professional coaches only). Its very strange.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

it's weird. he does not have what it takes to coach at a high-level, but he does not care. he is in it for his kid and does not care about the future of the other kids. a total mess!Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

BB and RF are co - dependent on each other. The relationship is mutually beneficial. RF needs BB to do all the work and coaching, that way RF can be the coach in name only - but still collect his paycheck. RF does the bare minimum- never giving feedback, only holding practice once a week, doing the same practices every week, and showing up late for games - but he still gets his full salary. BB on the other hand does a ton of work but gets paid nothing monetarily. His compensation comes with the power he has to influence RF and ensure his daughter and her friends get prime playing time and prime positions . As long as BB is on the sidelines his kid will always have the best positions and play time.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
BB also knows that RF is the ONLY FC Bucks coach that would allow him to actually be on the sidelines and coaching the team. If BB were a good board member and wanted to do what was right for the good of the team and the club he would have reported RF long ago. But BB needs RF so he can continue to coach, BB is very smart and he knows the minute RF is no longer a coach, BB will also no longer be a coach.
RF and BB are a package deal - So it doesn’t make sense to say that you are happy with BB but not with the teams progress , or the lack of quality and quantity of training - which basically means you are not happy with RF. BB enables RF .Comment
