Chris Head is use to being a somewhat renegade. The westside kids were hard as nails at Westinghouse. He is now dealing with this new kid. The preppy kids at Brooks.
He can't get away with some of the antics he got away with on the westside. The Brook kids do'nt response to his coaching style.

Coach Chris Head is fine in the situation that he is in. You need to check his resume before you bash him. 1 State, 3 Cities, and 6 Cities as a Fosh/Soph coach. He is a winning, and it speaks for itself. He has produce K. Garris, Mark Miller, David Baily, Cedric Banks, Damion Dantzer, Jamarcus Ellis, Jimmy Sanders, Ty Finley, and not to mention these young men have went on to get thier college education. He will be fine, you just make sure you stop treating a coach who has had so much success so bad!!!!

Head has had success at Westinghouse. That's where he did well because he could be hard with dem west side kids. Brooks is too soft of a school. The kids there to go to college and are too middle class preppy. Whereas in the west side, the kids dad's are working class stiffs construction worker type guys.
Head is not the problem, the problem is Brooks. Dey too soft.
