Here in The Locker Room, we see this as the huge problem regarding Waukegan, North Chicago & Zion-Benton not having head football coaches as of Jan. 14, 2009.
Over at Maine South and Stevenson and Lake Zurich and Glenbrook South, etc., you can bet the football players who do not play a winter sport are in the weight room daily, with their progress monitored by the fb coach.
The kids are on specific programs and you can bet your last quarter that the head coach is keeping close tabs on making sure all the players show up.
Some of our kids may take weight-training as a gym class, but that is not the same as the position-specific workouts designed by a top-quality fb program.
Every day that passes, our teams are falling farther and farther behind. And, heck, we are starting out behind from the get-go. It's tough to talk playoffs in August when your team hasn't put the work in in November, December, January and February.
Every fb coach will tell you championship teams come together in the off-season ... not in August when practice begins.
We are very worried.

Coach Koz interviewd for the north chicago job. Why i dont know. It does not matter because gerald coleman will select the next football coach and it will be a guy that will follow what he does. Its a shame that Coleman can have such power. I guy that does not want to see any program do well besides his. what a shame.
I really appreciate the comment that you made about this percieved power that I have but with that being said I really need some advice if I have all this power please explain to me how I can keep my wife as a coach because we have been coaching for twenty years together and to have a successful program it takes a lot of committment, but since you obviously have no idea about that you probably wouldnt understand where I am coming from because it takes dedication, committment and sacrifice. Long hours in the summer like when your out on the beach, I'm in the gym when its 100degrees. Thought I'd give you alittle advice on how to build a successful program.

If this is really you and you really hired away our coach I have to ask you what do you know about football and hiring a coach? Coach Kozlowski did a some good things here but we haven't seen the success we thought we would. I also like the fact that you work so hard that you find it appropriate to talk on your cell phone during a game. How disrespectful to your team, school and community.
To the Wauconda Parent,
I would like to personally apologize to anyone offended by me talking on my cell phone, I am sorry this offended you, but this was an emergency call and family comes first than any basketball game. I do understand what it looked like, and would like to personally apologize to you and anyone offended by me taking that call.
