I actually don't have a problem with this though I don't think she will succeed. I hope she does but I just don't see it happening. I don't think the players will respect her and I don't think the players will relate with her like they would a male coach.

 

This is much more acceptable to me than the women who are constantly shouting about how women can do anything men can do. It's simply not true. The physical differences in men and women make men more able to be successful in the sports world, specifically football being that it is one of, if not the most physical sport played.

 

It upsets me that some people cannot except the fact that we divide sports by sex. They can't see the reasoning behind it. Why is it that when a woman plays above her level in golf, she is able to move up and play with the men ? Why do we not offer the less successful male golfers the chance to play with the women ? Imagine all that would be lost if we did away with male and female sports, if we made it open sex. How many young women would not have their educations paid for because they couldn't make a college basketball team.

 

I suppose I got away from the topic of a female football coach with that rant. Again, I don't have a problem with a female being a head football coach. Coaching is much more mental than physical. I hope it works out for her.

 

That's about how I feel. :thumb:

This is about football. Did you play or coach at any level?

 

I did play, but have not coached football.

 

And I understand the thread is about football, but why should we go ahead and declare someone unfit for a position if there has never been one person do it? I'm not sure if she will succeed or not; hopefully she will. But to guarantee failure to someone who at least seems qualified without at least giving it a shot seems a little unfair.

Seriously? :lol:

 

It must have been tough on you when women were given the vote, and tougher when you realized that there are women who can be CEO's, work construction and even find cures for diseases.

 

Your argument is baloney! Give up the only thing they feel is theirs?! Seriously! Until the last 75 years, pretty much EVERYTHING was theirs!

 

If women were truly able to compete in football like they are in all the other areas you mentioned, maybe you would have a valid point, but they can't and they never will, and I think that's what really hurts you the most.

How do you know that women can't compete as football coaches? It's never been done? You can't say something can't be done if it's never been tried!

I wasn't particularly talking about coaching, but you make a good point. I guess time will tell. I also didn't intend to make anyone mad. I knew my comment wouldn't be understood by women and I think I was correct in my assuption.

Don't the attitudes in this thread kind of make it obvious that it would be extremely tough for a woman to succeed as a football coach? Most of coaching is getting your players to buy into what you're selling. And many men would not want to be coached by a woman in football, that's just how it is. That is my main gripe.

You have a good point, but it can be countered by saying attitudes can be changed. It won't happen tonight, but the wheels can begin moving tonight. As I've said several times already, if they are qualified, what does it hurt to at least give it a shot?

If you were talking about female linebackers competing with males for a starting spot on a football team then I'd agree with you. But from the perspective of coaching, I don't.

 

If men can admit that there are women who know football as well as any man, then why can't they admit that there could be a possibility that a woman may be suited for the role of head coach? I don't buy the "there are things said/done that a female shouldn't see", or a "female can't relate to a boy", or the "a female can't teach a boy to be a man." arguement.

 

At the end of the day, it's about teaching football, about how to play the game, how to be in position, what to do from that position, and so on, and so on. Yes, you hope that your son OR daughter's coach (male or female) has a good influence on them, and teaches them more than just football. But, in the end, it's the game itself that teaches the lessons of perserverance, losing with grace, and winning with dignity; how to not give up. It doesn't take a male to motivate. What it takes is an inspirational leader, male or female. It doesn't take a male to make a football team believe, it takes a believer in the football team. And that knows no gender boundaries.

Many men used to be against working for a woman.

Many men used to be against women in combat.

Many men used to think women weren't smart enough vote.

Many men used to think women shouldn't work.

 

There are lots of things many men used to think, do think, and will always think. Doesn't make any of it right.

 

What does it say about women like coach Rudloph who HAS to know how tough it's going to be for her? What does it say that she knows it's less about the job that she'll do that she'll be judged, but how she does it as a female. It tells me she's a strong woman, unafraid of what men may think.

That would apply to very few in the modern world.

It just popped into my head, reading your post.

I don't really see what makes her qualified that qualified. She had two years of coaching experience and a few years of playing experience in a league we know little to nothing about. We'll see.

All of that doesn't change the fact that few women will ever have the experience to be qualified to be a head coach. Until there are youth and HS leagues for girls they just do not have the experience. Unless they are raised to be a coach, then I could see it maybe working.

 

Women just aren't part of the football equation. They don't play and can't play with the men. It's not a women's sport. Don't cry to me about it being unjust. Go to the KHSAA are petition for a girls football division. Or better yet when Trinity's HC job is open petition for this lady to be the head coach.

 

That would apply to very few in the modern world.

 

How would you feel if she were hired at Highlands to be the next HC? Probably change your tune a little I'd say.....no matter what her experience was. It applies to most.

 

A female doesn't know the grind of football and how hard you have to work, that is the kind of stuff you only get from playing. And I don't count the girls leagues, I've watched some stuff on them and was not impressed. Call it sexist or whatever, but when I start seeing girls in the NCAA or NFL, or football becomes an actual sport for women I might change my tune. Like I said I think coaches like Summit would be fine in the boys game, but it does not apply to football for an infinite number of reasons.

 

I'm all for equality, but women coaching football doesn't fall under that. The DC school is doing this for publicity IMO.

And people trying to turn this into women's rights please stop. Very few males that I know look down on women or try to keep them down. Every single boss I've ever had has been a woman, all of whom I treated with respect and felt that they have done their jobs well.

 

Everyone always has to play the victim. That's not what this is. As of 2010, the present day and reality, a woman football coach is just not the way to go. If a school in KY had a female coach people would laugh at them, and players wouldn't go out for the team or would transfer IMO.

If we didn't already have a great coach, and she met the qualifications, I, and nearly everyone asociated with the team and the school would welcome her with open arms.

So women can't comprehend hard work. Well, I think we'll just let that one speak for itself. :ohbrother:

 

Football already is an actual sport for women--must be another sign of the 2012 apocolypse! :eek:
