"Sure our team sucks! But dey iz SAVED!"
At Florida High School, Football Coachs Main Goal is to Convert Students to Christianity

Jeremy Brown became the head football coach at Mosley High School (in Florida) nearly three years ago. And how has the team done since then? If you ask Brown, very well. That has nothing to do with their record which, this season, was an unimpressive 4-6 but thats not the point.
Heres Brown explaining to WJHG News how he knows his team has been successful:
for one coach, teaching the game of football isnt the most important thing.
Its got to be sharing Christ with kids, Mosley head football coach Jeremy Brown said. Its got to be creating an environment where they can be successful. Im in the business of earning crowns and not rings. If every kid on our football team is saved then Ive been successful as a coach.
Well, I never really had a coach tell me about Christ or anything like that, Mosley student athlete Ben Raybon said. We pray every day before and after practice so he helped me kind of get closer to Christ and give the glory to Him.

That might work for a bad band leader, but, damn it, HS football is king here in Florida.
