It was a Monday evening when Walker got the call from his old High school, the Colony High School, a pretty good sized school about forty minutes north of down town Dallas. Apparently their head football coach, Mister Shady, decided he had enough of coaching and went off to join the circus as the amazing can make any team lose guy(You could call him Mister Gase I suppose). So of course they figure maybe I would be willing to come back and coach a game while they find someone to take over. Of course, Walker says I got you. So, he books a flight out of the great white north and makes it in time for a special Tuesday evening practice. First thing is first, got to let these players know their record before this doesn't define who they get to be. Choose how you want to be known. But also, the old coach was a run it up the middle on three downs sort of guy. Which, if you had the states top offensive linemen and a top tier power back, I would say do it. But this team has speed and a quarter back who can straight sling the ball. But, yea, let's just run the ball because that is all of the play book he could understand(him being the old coach).
So, we get to game time on Friday night, with a whole new game plan. These kids are excited to get to try something different. Their defense was never the problem, it was a lack of points on the board that kept them losing the prior season. Well, in this game, scoring points wasn't the problem. The cougars ended up dropping a fifty bomb on the opposing team, while only giving up seventeen points. Sometimes you just need a change of pace, something different, and sometimes you just need to drop that crappy high school coach who was just there to boss people around.
