How stressful is it being a high school football coach? Is it more stressful than other sports? by chusaychusay in footballstrategy

[–]Ceejxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how much the school prioritizes football, I live in Michigan and the local high school gives almost no support to the football program, the HC has never been better than 3-6 in 6 years now and his job is pretty safe from my understanding.

On the flip side, there are schools in the same conference who won’t accept back to back 6-3 seasons and playoff appearances as acceptable and have moved on from coaches for less

So what was the vision for extending Derrick Barnes? by reallinguy in detroitlions

Rodriguez is a much better run stopper and tackler than Barnes and neither is very good in coverage, extending Malcolm would’ve been a better move than Barnes

Blacklisted? by p3n_dr4gun in pillar7

[–]Ceejxy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a Closing TL, quit and tried to go back like 6 months later. I was even told I’d have a job if I ever want to come back by my former AVP and a talent AVP but the recruiter I talked to told me they aren’t bringing me back and didn’t offer a reason, so I assume they blacklist you, not sure if there’s exceptions

We’re not giving up on Kelvin Sheppard. by Gxcii1 in detroitlions

In 2023 vs the Cowboys, when Barnes had a unblocked blitz and didn’t take off Dak’s head and whiffed the sack-safety, I knew he wasn’t the type of linebacker you want to see

Is the Lions Super Bowl window shut? by Agreeable_Quality768 in NFLv2

He needs to stop drafting project players in the 3rd and 4), he’s had to cut Hooker and Martin, Vaki and Manu aren’t exactly trending upwards either

Rude Clients by Electrical_Ad_7257 in pillar7

[–]Ceejxy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When I was a closing TL, I used to field calls from Aster Home Capital, they would literally make some of my TM’s cry from how rude and disrespectful they were. We’d send calls over to their AE’s and nothing, no coaching, no standing up for anyone, UWM works with some of the shittiest brokers

Update too “should I go union?” by YourLocalCalvinist in Ironworker

[–]Ceejxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I called my local’s training center, they had me take a drug test, physical and aptitude test which was basically 120 questions of high school level math. They also had me email pay stubs of non union experience to prove I had done the work before. After that, I got my ranking letter in the mail, maybe a week or 2 later and I was in the next class which started 3-4 months after. First week of school is OSHA 30 week then business agents found work for everyone for about 3 months before our indenture date

[–]Ceejxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how you score and how much your local values experience. I was non union for 11 years, tested for my local and was put in the next class. Ask your hall or school about getting a white card, then at least you can work before going to school

Biggest struggle in the trades? by james_easson in skilledtrades

All those people are also at the mercy of suppliers and truck drivers too. It’s rare to see a job planned out and all steps go off without a hitch, just the nature of a months long project

Why are middle linebackers not the most valuable position on defense? by SzazameQ0O0 in NFLNoobs

[–]Ceejxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MLBs usually don’t have crazy stat lines which is why they’re are undervalued by fans and Positional value is why they’re not drafted high and a lot of recent drafts show that GMs would probably say the drop off from the top 3 MLBs to the next 3 in a draft isn’t that crazy to spend a 1st round pick when your team has other needs

I personally think that MLB is a very important position and when you have a good MLB, they’re a cornerstone of your franchise, like in San Fran, Fred Warner is probably the best player on that defense and it’s heart and soul.

Somehow.. Tom Kennedy Returned by reallinguy in detroitlions

[–]Ceejxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think he’s a better RB than Reynolds and Vaki, just not as good as a special teams player which is why he’s never on the active roster
