Two years a go I took over a terrible JV program. Just myself and another guy who had never coached football in his life. That's it. We had no practice time and I was just learning the HC new offense - the triple option. We lost every game we played but the we dressed 50 kids (twice as many as varsity) and the spirit and discipline was exceptional in my experience.
I was promoted to varsity as the assistant OC and special teams coordinator. Again, our special teams were greatly improved and the kids really responded. In the off season, the HC kind of froze me out of meetings and seemed reluctant to include me in the offensive discussions. I couldn't understand why.
For spring, I was not assigned an indie to coach and was placed in charge of equipment and assisting with the OLine. This week my HC said that he wants me to coach varsity special teams and be the head JV coach. I felt really let down and disrespected. I felt I have done a good job and feel that this is kind of a demotion. I don't know why. The reason the head guy gave me was that they are short of coaches (we only have a total of seven) and I did such a good job with them before. Should I feel like crap? Should I feel like I am the lowest rung on the ladder now?
Can any guys give me perspective on my situation? This isn't how I had envisioned my career going.
