Panther Quarterback Club

Meeting Minutes

November 6, 2006

                       

Opening Remarks – Meeting called to order by Don Gordon.  Minutes from October meeting approved.

 

Coaches Report – Coach Bahen-Coach wanted to make a point to address 3 issues:

1.      Club Meetings: Coach had informed Don Gordon in August that he would not be able to attend club meetings during the season.  His son is a senior football player at a different school and Monday nights were film nights for his son’s team.  Coach was not able to watch his son’s games, so he had planned to attend films.  Coach stated that maybe he should have had another coach on his staff attend club meetings to represent the program.

2.      Rumors:  Coach wanted to put an end to rumors about him resigning his coaching job.  The rumors are false speculation and he has no intention of resigning. If he were to resign his position, then he would call meeting and inform the players himself. Coach wants an end to the rumors. The AD, Mark Aprile and Principle, Mr. Smith want coach to stay as head coach at PHSN.  Coach will evaluate his staff at the end of the year and along with Mark Aprile they will decide who stays and who goes.

3.      Negative Attitudes:  Coach said the negativity needs to stop.  He feels terrible for all of the players about the bad year.  Do not blame the players and position coaches.  Place blame on him as head coach if blame needs to be placed.   We are here as a club to support the players and that is the clubs sole purpose.  If anyone is not happy with Coach Bahen- he said to write a letter to the Principle & A.D.  

Coach is not happy with the season results but our team has a very high GPA  and he is happy that our players continue to perform in the classroom.  Coach welcomed new officers and hopes that we can go forward in a positive manner.  Coach thanked QB Club officers from this past year for doing a great job.
