My son came home from practice yesterday and went into the details of how this new Athletic Director is making kids work hard, puke, and even quit! Is this Brent Davis making them EARN IT?! Melts my heart 😁 That's all! #thedaysofold #theboysoffall #2nddayofoffseason #4thquarter #tellmemore #showmemore #backtoearnednotgiven #staywithitboys #2towns1team #WILDCATS #ONE Davis isn’t a rookie coach and he’s built programs back up. Davis is finding out who really wants to be a football player. Some will quit, slackers always do. But the tough ones who stick it out will be the core of his program to start. From what I’ve read and been told, he’s just as tough with his coaches. He’s demanding that they work as hard or harder than the HC. I know most of these GP coaches, hard work isn’t the norm for them.

Sounds like the same thing I heard when Coach Anaststacio came in and changed from a soft program to a dicipline day Program. One GP player told his grandpa “They are killing us”. They made the playoffs the next 5 years. Then the transition to a soft program and 5 years without making the playoffs. GP91, it sounds like GP has some slackers. It appears that some players at the end of the season are not in condition. It sounds like GP has some slackers. If your not Navy Seal tough you have no business going out for football. Thank you Coach Davis for revealing the problem at GP. Football is the last bastion of manliness. Thanks for the reply! I think the super attendant might be the difference this time! It’s going to take some time because a lot of people don’t like change! Time will tell! Change in this case is for the better! Those that don't want it are usually the ones that don't succeed anyways. Tell your boy 91 that this will test him but in the end he will respect himself his players and see the big picture in the long run. When on the field you tend to not give up when you've been through so much to get to where your at.

I saw Kenny “Snake” Stabler one time telling about first practice of the year at Bama. Stabler was a senior QB, so wasn’t overly involved in this drill. Coach Bryant had 1/2 dozen footballs, 100+ players. He told them he would know who wanted to play because they would bring him a ball. Stabler said some defensive end brought back 4 balls.

Don't be surprised if Davis gets a similar set up at G-P where his OC and DC dont teach classes Matt I was told thats already been agreed to with the Supt. DC hire will be announced in about 20 minutes

Where's the G-P fan that's gonna step up and say the reality? You didn't lose the last few years because Rhoades forgot how to coach, or he came to G-P to retire, or he was "soft". You lost because you were small with not much talent. Just admit it. Nothing wrong with it.

Kids are sore and going to bed early. No more of this staying up late from what I hear. The previous program gave attendance and kids joked around and played grab ass. Not so much now! lol. Things have changed and your gunna work and contribute or be weeded out.

I put more importance on effort than I do size..I don’t care how big you are and how fast you are when a 155 pounder pins your legs together below the knees, your going down. This grabbing around the shoulders by 4 players to corral tackle does not win ball games.
