This week, I went into the coaches office and conference room reporting for Student Coaching duties like any other day, when Coach McMartin called me into his office. My first thought was, "Crap, what did I do now?" The last time I got "called" into Coach Mac's office, it was to chew my butt about how I put one of our linebackers doing a cut-throat non-verbal in the highlight film, nicely accompianed by a lion roar in the background (some of my better editing work). But this time, it was to ask me if I mind switching to Tight Ends to coach rather than Linebackers. Let me help you with some background knowledge; I played football in H.S., now I am a student coach for Central College's football team. My freshman and sophomore years I was a QB student coach and learned the offense, a position I knew and felt familiar with, then moved to linebackers my junior year to broaden my coaching knowledge for my potential coaching future. Then this year, my senior year, I started with the linebackers through training camp and just got shifted. It's a big change, it has been 1 and a 1/2 years since I knew Central's offense, not to mention a trip to Europe for 4 months, where the last place my mind was, was on football. Anyway, I am now a Tight End's student coach under the watch of Tight Ends coach Eric Jones. Should be fun.
