Hi folks!
My name is "Larry Harrison" and I'm a high school football
coach in the great state of Georgia.
I have taken a break from coaching after 34 years of doing this thing! I just needed a break from the grind and all the driving and the so many hours away from home and my day job, as well as needing the opportunity to do some other things that I love doing. I had many years of enjoyment coaching a lot of great kids and athletes, as well as winning more than my share. Of course I thought my fair share was winning them all but that was an unlikely thing. I'll be doing other things that include family, especially grand kids alnong with some music stuff. One of my shinanigans includes playing with a Beatles Tribute Band called the Buggs. www.buggstribute.com. Come see us if we are in your area.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a football coach and have a lifetime of memories. Will I coach again? I never know what the future hold but it has always been exciting to see where God takes me in my life in all of my loves and passions.

This site
started as very small simple family site but with coaching,
and incorporating my football, it quickly became a full
blown football
site... I had noticed that many coaches and teams had a site
and the various football coaching sites so, hey, I figured I
had to get one too. So, this site works well in keeping in
touch with other coaches on all levels that do some of the
things I do. I think the main thing that launched it
into this football site is the learning and the teaching of
the offense, and defense I run. From the beginning of my
coaching life, I've had certain very ingrained ideas about
coaching and getting the most out of kids, and these ideas
were developed from having very good youth and high school
coaches and later having my ideas pan out in very successful
campaigns. I have learned to live with the criticism of
being a bit unorthodox, but believe me, everything I do
coaching is for a very good reason. No, it may not
look exactly like the NFL but what I do, and what I think
any good coach should do, is to give your kids the best
possible chance to be successful. I'm not real concerned
about how pretty it is, or if I'm preparing one individual
for a career or if I look like some big-time pro football
coach. I'm concerned about the team and all the kids as well
as our representation of our parents and school. I am
concerned about bringing success to our program and having
the kids have fun playing football. If we have a standout
athlete, he will stand out. If we don't, the team hopefully will still
stand out because of our preparation. This policy has never
failed me or any other coach I've admired over the years.
What I have learned is that with the right preparation and
approach to this game and a good communication with the kids
themselves, you end up with kids playing hard, having fun,
and many standout kids not just the one special kid, that is
going to be good anyway! |
