I know the last thread got closed down, so I thought I would start up another one to wish Rob Coffey the best as the coach of the Birds. I have known Rob for a long time and believe that he is great teacher and leader.

does anyone know how many applicants there were for this position?

Congrats to Rob for sure. I played alongside Rob in softball in my much younger years and I will say this, he is a great teacher and will provide the girls with the right tools needed to move forward. I know my daughter is Super pumped that Rob is the new coach!!!

Congrats, Rob! I'm sure you will do an awesome job! Go Birds!

Ditto on the Congrats... I know he is looking forward to continuing to build the program. Wonder if he will have any approval to work on the field and spruce it up? Hopefully it will be a softball only field like the baseball team has and not have to be torn up by football...

Rob will do an excellent job..Congrats!!!

They were told it would be softball ONLY, however the football team has been using it. I guess when your AD is also the football coach he can do whatever he wants? Shame, because that could be such a nice place for games with some work. But if you continue to have the football team "wrecking havoc" to the outfield grass, there is no way that outfield will every be level and without bare spots. I say softball parents start screaming "TITLE 9".

 

Congrats to Rob and tell Dale to stay on his own field.

Why don't they put a real fence up all the way around the outfield? There would still be plenty of room behind the fence for the football team to practice.

Congratulations Coach Coffey!!

Congrats to coach Coffey

Congrats coach and good luck this season. I think you should have the softball team practice on the football field. It is turf isn't it so you're not going to hurt it. :clap: Good luck with that. :lol:

 

Hope you get the opportunity to do what you want with the softball field. Sounds like it could be a pretty nice field.

Porky, you and I both know it would be a cold day in hell before that would ever happen! :lol:

Like you mentioned "Title 9".

Happens all the time along with the Baseball team. They both have equal time on the turf during their respectful seasons when they need it. It is never a problem!!! Did Alphabet Soup neglect to tell you guys that?.... Lol!!!

The softball team often practices on the turf.
