..players yes... paid coaches, no..
Give me a break. A paid coach that has an influence on our youth needs to be held accountable if he is a bad role model. I wouldn't let my kid play for him. He sounds like a real SOB.
We wouldn't have any coaches left if we were holding them accountable as role models. Give me a break. You guys need to get out more and find some friends and stop ex[ecting the coach to be one of them.
That is probably the saddest comment on the state of NTX competitive soccer I have seen on here. Fortunately I know most parents vehmently disagree. Tragically(sp?) many do not.

Re: Mark Snell -
okay so as long as the kids are older it's okay to berate them? What age is okay? I am fine with your standard and just stick to it because you just cut the coaches on my list out. So again just stick to your beliefs not matter what. Don't just apply it to "one" coach because you don't like him. So the answer to the question is NO you are not the only one who thinks he is a jerk but he is not the only coach who is a jerk. The list is long and distinguished. Oh and another name just popped into mind, Wilco

Seriously? Are you saying we should give coaches a free pass as role models given their position and influence they have with our kids and not be held accountable for their behavior?
Nice link but being an asshole and a molestor are two different charges (hint. they don't suspend you for the first). So let's say we get ride of snell, guilty as charged. Who has to go also? Castro, Nuno, KS, Marcio, HN runs the F*cking club and quite possible the biggest offender so guess none of you guys play there. The list of where you guys can't play is longer than where you can. Oh and just forget about making your switch to football. We are doing a great job of turning our kids into a bunch of crybabies who can't take the slightest snubb, so let's not also turn them into hypocrites. Make sure that where you BB plays is a upstanding role model coach, run by upstanding role model individuals.
Kudos to hook for having the decency to just say "I don't think he can coach"
Go, our POV are typically not too far apart. I agree the article represents an offense that is far from just being rude or disrespectful. The article or action taken on the coach in the article really has nothing to do with Snell but more the topic of a coach as role model. I wanted to bring attention to the implications of your statement with coaches in a position of influence and power. By the way, I have no axe to grind with Snell -- BB has never practiced or played for him, don't know him. However, I think it is impossible to be in a teaching/coaching or position of power with young kids and not be a role model -- regardless of the parents expectations of the coach as a role model. You are right -- there are a greater percentage of coaches that suffer some sort of asshole and ego personality disorder than those that don't. Some parents have varying tolerance levels for such behavior and where they draw the line. When I look back at the personalities and egos of my childhood coaches -- they all suffered inflated egos and to varying degrees they were asses from a personality perspective. However, all of those same coaches demanded good sportsmanship and respect - respect for the coach, teachers, teammates, opponents, and adults. I always feared breaking my coaches rules more than my teachers or parents rules. I still vividly remember the huge hand painted sign displayed in the gym with the "Good Sportsman Code of Conduct". There are good coaches that are also good role models. We need more of them and firmly believe it is the coaches in this instance that need to rise to the parents expectations and not the parents needing to lower their expectations. I guess the one positive aspect of the "pay to play" model is we are able to vote support for our kid's coaches each time we pull out the checkbook.

Re: Mark Snell -
I completely agree. Coaches influence kids in a big way. As a kid I wanted to be like my coach. So, I expect my coach to set a good example of sportsmanship and respect for all involved in the game. All coaches get overly excited from time to time but a real man can admit that to the team. Consistent behavior of yelling at opposing players and not shaking hands with members (or coaches) of other teams does not set a good example for the young kids who are watching. I have seen both of these from the coach in question however, I have never played for him so cannot say how he is after the game.

What I find interesting is the link to the article that was removed was not about Snell but another coach. It was to make a point about coaches as role models and accountability. Admin, can you comment or PM me?

not to spoil the fun here but Mark Snell has never coached select teams.
He's always stuck to youth academy/ junior (as FCD calls them) teams.

I agree. For a few thousand every year that isn't too much to ask for.
As someone who sits on the bench for most games - I can tell you that in select you will rarely find a coach that abides by expectations 1-3, most can handle 4, however.
So, thicker skin is a necessity as you get older. Trust me, it's not fun to hear, but it's very routine.
I do know Mark and would agree he's pretty abrasive for the cast he's been appointed to lead (I always had that question as well - i.e. the age specialization for that long). I think he's a decent skills coach, but probably more of a middle of the road coach, not top nor bottom.

Re: Mark Snell -
He is a good coach when the kids are not on a higher level, If he has skill players he maintain the player but does not give that extra thing so they can grow more! plus he needs to worry about his own team(not doing very good lately) and stop worry about the others and how they are playing. "what are you teaching your boys to SMASH the ball?" or asking the kids on the other team" Is that what your coach is teaching you? to SMASH(favorite word)the ball?" questions you heard him asking other coaches and players from the other team!!! really? worry about your own team.

My first observation of Mark Snell
I have to unload my first time observation of FC Dallas' Mark Snell at this past Saturdays SDL match where his 02 Boys played 02 Boys Solar Renner.
My son and I were checking out the various matches when we came upon the Solar match which seemed to be going well.
Then there was the common offside call and Snell went berserk on his bench, shouting out derogatory names at the referee with words such as Musclehead,Fatass,Pri*k and others all in front of his young 9 year old boys,Coach Renner's boys on his bench,over the players on the field and even tried to get Coach Renner involved with his bar room tirade which Coach Renner ignored completely.
At one point I was waiting for Mark Snell to start shouting racial slurs,I was waiting for it but he held back and bit his lip.
Is this how all FC Dallas Academy coaches behave themselves at games in front of young children? My guess is yes,I should have video taped it and sent a copy to executive management at FC Dallas
My 9 year old son was next to me and witnessed/heard his foul mouth tirade and told him, "That is not the type of coach that will lead your team"
I know this was witnessed during an 02 match but had to mention here since he has his own thread.

Re: Mark Snell -
That's what pisses me off about FC Dallas Academy. They give you a big speech about how "the parents should go find the nearest mall" and let the coaches coach and the parents should stay out of it. And then they have guys like Douchebag Snell being a bad influence on these impressionable kids. If I was an FC Dallas coach, I would demand that they fire him, because he is definitely giving the entire academy a black eye.

personally, anyone who wants me as a parent to leave so they can be w my kid alone is getting a double dose of me continuously. only bad things happen when people or orgs are hostile to parents being around

Oh there are a few more black eyes just wait!!.. The problem is upper management has little interest in the concern of a parent . Hell!! they got a club to run and the next Messi to find . Want a cold slap of reality ?? try emailing them..Don't forget to hold ur breath.

All FC coaches don't tell their parents to go to a mall either....but I will agree with Plantit that the executive management forgets who the customers are.
