Before you get so defensive, no one was asking for Coach Silva to step down. One guy, posted that Pascual should take over, as an apparent shot at the football team and not the coach himself. If you couldn’t decipher that, then you need to put down the playbook and start learning reading comprehension.

I don’t know what connections Coach Silva has, but apparently he has some good ones even though he stopped playing many years ago. Over the weekend I had the same discussion about how important it is to have connections as a coach. However, if you don’t have any connections, any coach who has a telephone, internet, and video equipment can help promote his/her players.

First, if the coach knows that his/her players can play in the next level, whether small or big school, he/she has to start making calls or at least video taping his games (most coaches do this anyway). Second, the coach should go to the Audio/Visual teacher on campus (I believe Mr. Chaney is the video production teacher), go to the journalism/yearbook teacher, or the ASB director (Mr. Noriega) and strike a deal with them. Ask them in a professional manner if they could help you out. Say something like I have a couple of kids I need people to specifically videotape during games, and if there could be some sort of extra credit or in-class assignment for having their students go to games, record the players, and edit the material to only include the physical attributes that scouts are looking for. Then once a video is made, make copies, add a cool song, and distribute them to coaches around the country. If money is tight, post it here on C.com and/or youtube, and send those coaches an e-mail with the specific link. Third, make players right a cover letter expressing their interest to play for that certain school, grades, and anything else that would convince the coach/scout to take a closer look. Fourth, ask parents, booster, and/or the community to help out. Finally, making the playoffs always helps because scouts are at the games, so it vital to know sell your players before the game.

It pays off to have connections, and you’re a testament to that. Though, next time you put a list of football players that Coach Silva help sent to college, also include the list of players he just sent to college. A varsity coach should strive to send all his athletes to college not just his star players.

As for names of who can coach the team, well I don’t have specific names, but I’m willing to bet that some of the Class of 2003 who played college football will be qualified to take over. Again, that time is not here or now, but don’t assume that there’s no one out there to take over.

really they do sound like good ideas but idk if u know silva or not hes not a rude guy hes not like bishop in fact hes a total opposite wen he approached channey and noriega he simply asked them and more than once he even offered to pay em for each video they just didnt feel it was worth there time and silva has tried reachin out to the students but they take there time wich is cool but then at the last moment the student will say they hav too much on there hand bcuz they hav too much AP homework and backout at the last minute believe me i was there wen it happened im not sayin ur idea was bad but maybe noriega or channey will giv em a software but so far they havent and that was only one video of that gurl wat if there were 3 or 4 it wouldve taken longer to do especially if u got to go back and get footage of the great plays they did wen they were sophomores juniors and senior year imagine having to do all that and not for just one player but im not sayin its a bad idea it could work but still theres no help so far from anyone in the school

Just the same, you know how football coaches feed players the idea that no one believes in them and that everyone is against them? You recognize that's a motivational tool, don't you dagdagan? People aren't actually attacking you with every word they say.[/quote]

they dont tell us everyone is against us we know whos against us or not its all the nay sayers that we as players know that he is refering to like the soccer players and some ppl from the dirtrict that is who he is refering too bcuz we would always tell em ohh so and so said this and he would hear then he wouldnt say everone is against us just those naysayers and yes there are naysayers im not sayin u talk shit about the players individually but even wen u post ur jokes about silva to those football players u are offending them too thats like me makin fun of ur momma u would get mad too right?
