Job Nobody Wants

No one wants to win more than Yogi Kinder

“We’re still looking for a couple more people, but we’ve got some pretty good coaches, he said. “Most of these coaches have either played for me or they played against me. They know what I like and I think we are going to be a tight-knit coaching staff. Naturally, you got to have one chief and that’s going to be me. I’ve got three or four guys on my staff that’s capable of being a head coach. I’ve surrounded myself with pretty good people. The coaching staff has got to mesh and I’m sure if we mesh, this team is going to mesh.” “Don’t think I ain’t been looking,” he said. “I have been more impressed since they have been here. It’s like Burch for instance. They have some great kids over there. They have some good football players. If you look back, they would probably had one of the better teams in the county. There were some good kids at Williamson that came here. I’m very impressed with those guys. Coach Joplin and Coach Ward did a good job coaching those guys. The Gilberts and the Matewans used to be the cock of the wall. We had the best players 9 out of 10 years.” “I’ve noticed quite a bit of excitement. A lot more than I thought. These kids haven’t had the first problem. A good example…We’ve had some kids from Williamson and Burch that hadn’t got along good…we haven’t seen none of that. They are going home together. These kids won’t have the problems that everybody thinks. Now the parents are the ones that are going to have the problem. I’m ready for that. Anyone that knows me knows I am going to play the best players, I don’t care what school they come from. There ain’t anyone out there that wants to win no more than Yogi Kinder does.” “You’ve got competition in practice and that’s probably the best thing is the competition,” Kinder explained. “You’ve got more players, you find better players and you got more players to compete against each other. That’s a big thing that none of us schools (Burch, Matewan, Gilbert and Williamson) had in a long time. When I was at Matewan, back in the early 90s we had a bunch of competition. We didn’t have that any more. We would have 20 to 25 kids. And they knew they had a position and wouldn’t work hard.” “Sometimes we had enough and sometimes we would have to get people out of the stands,” he said. “And that’s a part of small Class A football. In these small schools like Matewan Burch, Gilbert and Williamson, we’ve always done that. That’s a plus of this consolidation. Getting more kids and getting your best kids on the field. Now, is that gonna keep kids from playing? No, it’s not. A lot of people think it is but it’s not, because you’ve got a JV team, you’ve got a freshman team. So, you’re really playing three nights a week.” “When we were at Matewan, we ran the offense according to the kids that we had that year,” he said. “If we had slow kids, we ran a slow offense. If we had faster kids we ran a faster paced offense. Here, I think we can do both. Because we can mix it up a whole lot better. We can have a set for this, a set for that. We’ve always like to do a lot of formations, wide open…spread the field.” “That’s going to be our base,” Kinder said. “We’ve got better kids and we can run the 50 defense. A lot of people don’t play a 50 anymore. Most of the teams that we are going to play run the football and a 50 is the better defense to stop it. We can drop one guy off and be back in the 40. It’s an easy defense to make adjustments from.” “We’ll probably be the weakest Class AA team in West Virginia this year because we couldn’t get together,” Kinder said. “They should have found a way to get us together early. We should have been able to some way get a bus and bus the kids from Matewan, Gilbert and Williamson to Burch. Not only to lift weights but also the comradery you’ve got to have to have a tight-knit football team. But that’s water under the bridge and you can’t do nothing about it. We had our kids lifting at Matewan, lifting at Burch, lifting at Gilbert. But, not as a group.” “By putting these four schools together, we are going to have a good football team,” Kinder said. “Now we can compete with them (Pirates) year in and year out. There was several times at Matewan I thought we could have beaten them. And there’s several times we probably couldn’t have played with them; couldn’t have been on the dag-gone field with them. These kids want to play and I’m sure those kids want to play. That could be the game that could make our football team. We could run our football program off of one of those gates.” We're glad to give you a forum to air your point of view on issues important to this community. We just ask that you keep things civil.

Nobody Wants This Job: CT Education Commissioner - Rick Green | CT ...

Huh?

Isn't public education arguably one of the top concerns in Connecticut's towns and cities? And Gov. Dannel Malloy and the state Board of Education have come up with so few names that they are extending the search for an educatin leader ?

Maybe it takes more than putting an ad in Education Week .

We heard a lot about education during the campaign for governor last year. Tom Foley promised to make education reform the focus of his administration.

Gov Dan Malloy, who is busy proposing a hospital, busway, high speed rail line might want to pay attention to one of the issues that matters most to Connecticut voters: the local public school.

Michelle Rhee's looking for a job.

God knows she's made all the right moves and never stayed in one spot long enough as a Super to be held accountable. A 3 1/2 year term as Education Head would be perfect for moving he books and her consulting firm's consulting products.

Malloy just needs to pitch it to Rhee the right way. You know, as in "Michelle, in CT the CBA is king. All Hail The Collective Bargaining Agreement!"

Most in CT don't care if we educate the kids in the cities. There aren't enough jobs anyway. As long as the teachers don't whine we are good to go.

And you can move tons of product Michelle. Tons of it!

I worked for George Coleman when he was acting commissioner once before, he did a great job, why not give it to someone we know and has the experience? If not, the Massachusetts Commissioner was the Bureau chief for Curriculum and Instruction at the CT Dept of Ed years ago before CT let him get away. From where I sit Massachusetts is doing a pretty good job with public education, bring him back.

Maybe the word is out that this board chair has presided over some of the least productive years that State Board and State Dept of Ed have ever seen. No chief education official wants to work for an ineffective board chair. A largely new board brings opportunity, but unless they take courageous stands on important issues like school funding reform, blowing up the teacher compensation system of rewarding seat time and accumulated college credits, a better accountability system for school and district performance, few, if any, qualified candidates will apply for this dead end job. CSDE and CSBE have been sub-standard since the early 1990s.

Everybody, wants to be the, Boss. But nobody wants to do the job They were sent there to do.

massive problem for most jobs, everyone wants you to have experience but how do you do that if nobody will give you a job!!

the nba wants the players to take a 40% pay cut. F THAT.Nobody would ever take a 40% pay cut no matter what job they have

The only secure job in the world is one which nobody wants.

I've been trying to get a job for the longest, NOBODY wants me, smh!
