ALBION Coaching Carousel

What happened to Paul H at ALBION?
He was DA director and coached a DA team?
No longer there, did the Weekend trips to the BRIG in Del Mar catch up finally?

What is a BRIG? I did some research and he seems like a nice guy coach whose willing to HELP anyone with a quick call to a college coach.
“I am always happy to call a college coach for a good player – the way I see it, college is where most of these players are going to go and we want to help them achieve their dreams of success,” said Holohan.

Maybe you should do a little more research and reread the first line...
“I am always happy to call a college coach for a good player – the way I see it, college is where most of these players are going to go and we want to help them achieve their dreams of success,” said Holohan.
As an honest coach,mentor,teacher, he should have been calling a college coach about every player. Not just a “GOOD PLAYER“ there’s a place for every player

Nonsense. If he recommends a lot of turkeys, he will lose his credibility and thus his ability to help GOOD players.
 
I dunno but there older boys DA teams (U15, U16/17, u18/19) are really struggling in 10, 11th place or the blue div so very little to no playoffs chances at all.

Seems like one of those clubs where they do pretty well with the youngers but then player & coaching turnover hits and they struggle with the olders.
 
That was his weekend spot to to pick up on the ladies and hit the sauce after his DA games. Would see him there decked out in the ALBION monkey suit before I went to watch the ponies run at Delmar. I’ve seen him with a few other ALBION track suits over there.
 
I never understood the draw of the Brig. I lived in Del Mar for a while. I guess the drinks are ok. Food was nasty. Cool view of the track though.

I'm not so sure about that. All soccer players are good at the highest levels. Some gooder than others :) I don;t like the middleman coach to be honest or the coach who plays head games with 13 year olds. A good coach should help all his players on the team find the right place. D1, D2, D3 or NAIA. I had one big time coach tell me when my dd was 14 he can make a call right now to this school and that school for a full ride. The same week he would yell at her at practice and say things like, "I will tell all the college coaches you only show up for Game Day." I think a recommendation from a coache would be gr8t but I don;t need you to call the coach for my dd anymore. My dd can actually call the coach herself after June 15th and schedule a visit. No rush, like my poor son had to do during rush week so he could join a fake friends house at SDSU. This frat house was not a good one. However, I think he found a better one and is looking to join. April last year was the end of this stupid recruiting game to get young teenage girls to verbally commit as 13 year olds. With all the changes over the last three years, this one is the best one out of all the changes

We used to eat at The Brig in Dana Point and it was an old 1970s restaurant with an old bar. All I know so far is that most Docs (not all) use their leverage to gain access to many perks. The power some of these clowns have is freighting and we as parents should demand more transparency and hold these Docs to the highest of ethical standards. The HARP plan for all companies :)

Not a PH fan at all. Never had an affiliation with the club or him, however played against him and a few years ago pulled some dirty stuff was not cool. I'm not getting in to what that was in a public forum. He does sit on my top 5 "A" Hole list of coaches in So Cal.

If you have nothing to say, why don't you just say nothing?

Are you leading by example?

When I have a criticism, I am very explicit and detailed. That may be why you don't like me.

What do you suppose the "dirty stuff" was?
@espola makes valued points here @baldref. @Frank even pointed out that it was a correct criticism. I've learned a lot from you @espola. We need truth and not gossip about crazy ass coaches who make up to $200,000 a year plus bonuses, trips and perks and hold some, not all use it to hold power over ones head.

I confess to feeling irritated when I posted that because I had just exited a discussion about a coach on a different soccer forum where a poster said something similar about a newly-hired coach.

What coach makes $200,000 a year?

Should I see w2 before I make that statement?
