I wonder, historically, how many coaches have been concerned with what is best for the players? Or, their current or future health?

In my entire life I had one concussion, and it was a direct result from a coach continuing a drill longer than it should have happened. I don't remember the entirety of it, for obvious reasons, but I remember my friends telling me that I specifically told him I was done before he threw me back in the front to go again.

Strangely enough the coach was fired within a few weeks, and not even because of that incident.

Only one. I played since I was five until just this last year in college, QB throughout peewee, Tight End, WR, Linebacker/DE, SS, in high school and was a fullback/in college. Not sure how I lucked out honestly, but I do attest a lot of it to proper technique with tackling and blocking being taught well here.

Technique always helps. Most people in general have had more than one concussion. People do knock their head.

Our coaching in middle and high school was top notch. We'd be in the 2nd round of the playoffs in high school and still spend 5 or 10 minutes a day on proper form tackling.

California rules other states drool.

CA high school football ain't no joke. Come around my hood you best have your head on a swivel.

Sometimes you just get rocked or it's such a big collison it's inevitable.

Seems to be one of those things some people are prone to.

California sucks in almost every way. Gotta worry about the muggers in your hood.

Played with a kid who was one of the toughest guys I've known in my whole life, but somehow he managed an injury a game and a hospital visit at least once a season. Almost like he'd hit people too hard and hurt himself in the process.

Don't need pads to work on proper tackling form.

It may have been that way forever. But the sad thing is that who the heck does the government think they are controlling football practice. Maybe a coach has a bunch of pansies and he thinks they need to go full contact before a game. The government shouldn't be able to tell that coach how he should do his job. #don't tread on me.

I don't know... Maybe the governing body over the schools that constitute the teams?

Football will slowly die anyway. Personally I get bored with it now as it's on way too often.

Too many mid week games and some awful teams.

Going to games is a nightmare now and kind of burned out.

I basically watch Tenneseee and the Chargers and nothing else.
