Coach John Cassaro

Year ☝🏼 regular season in the books. Now let's see what we're really made of. @Mcarthur_FB @chop_ortega @CoachSean1551 @DBs__Only @Maine_Event99 @coach_defuria

@PayFLCoaches We'll be waiting at McArthur as well.

104 to 6. 95% of the Florida House of Representatives voted on the right side of history. They saw the struggle coaches have faced. They understood communities across this state are ready to step up to keep coaches in Florida. The vote was bipartisan. Members of both parties came together to finally make this right. It was a powerful moment. For reasons known only to them, 6 members of the Florida House did not. @Robin_Bartleman @RepCampbell_FL @Gantt4Florida Rep. Dianne Hart-Lowman @micheleforfl @RepSkidmore We are not here to relitigate the vote. We are here to talk about reality. When session ends, we extend an open invitation to walk the high schools in your districts with us. Meet the coaches. Sit with them. Hear what the hours look like, what the pay looks like, and what the strain actually feels like. Because for us, this has never been theoretical. It has been lived experience for decades. Then there is Broward. No county lit up our phones more than Broward County last night. That should tell you something. Rep. Bartleman, you served 16 years on the Broward School Board. When you left in 2020, many coaches were still receiving the same supplements they earned in 1990. The scale had not moved in 30 years. Your district includes Weston and Southwest Ranches. But the calls we received last night were not from Cypress Bay. They came from Miramar, from coaches working multiple jobs just to stay afloat. Rep. Campbell, coaches at Plantation, South Plantation, Piper, Dillard, and Boyd Anderson said they have never met you. They respect your mental health advocacy. They want you to understand what this job and this system are doing to theirs. If you want to understand this issue, step into your schools and see the reality your coaches are living every day. We’ll reach out to each of you in April. Not as adversaries. As Floridians serious about educators and the coaches overlooked for 50 years.

College coaches - you don't have to teach our @Mcarthur_FB defensive recruits anything when you get them in your meeting rooms or your practice field. Ready to go, right out the box! 📦 That's the @CoachMacho @Maine_Event99 @CoachSheed_ @CoachSean1551 @chop_ortega guarantee! ✅️

In other news, these are now basically a daily occurrence, which is what happens when absurd behavior gets normalized instead of ridiculed. We will not be participating in that approach here. ✍️

I'm a sucker for scheme diversity but at the end of the day, the best defenses are relatively vanilla. However, they ALL (1) play with energy (2) pursue relentlessly and (3) play with violence. Those things are NON-NEGOTIABLE. Scheme takes a back seat.

Want to thank @PayFLCoaches for putting on a great event. In 18+ years of attending countless clinics, the 2026 COY gave back to Florida coaches more that any other clinic has. It was definitely worth the trip and admission.

Always workin.

Keep this in mind when being developed. COLLEGE READINESS matters more NOW than EVER.

Your GAME film, your technique & your body/readiness ARE GOING TO AFFECT YOUR NIL POTENTIAL. You can still go to college however 👉🏼 showing poor technique, not pursuing the ball, bad body language, not willing to tackle, etc ARE ALL BEING NOTED & considered during negotiations.

@CoachWhitlock @PayFLCoaches

Who is going to the @PayFLCoaches COY Clinic this weekend? Let’s talk some ball!!

@LetsGo_Bo5 @Mike_Stoops41 @OleMiss365 @OleMissFB @LeeAnnHerringOM @CoachGolding @CoachToddCooley @SantanaMcKnight @Maine_Event99 @CoachMacho @chop_ortega

@D1cAleb_ @TheUCReport @Rivals @ChadSimmons_ Get it baby!

I will be at Linebacker Tomorrow at the UA all American camp to show I can a Cover runningbacks and drop in coverage! @TheUCReport @Rivals @ChadSimmons_

@Coach_Hendrix1 For sure. You're not wrong... but @PayFLCoaches is working towards that goal.

@CoachMacho Okay well counties have to be better if you want a good brand of coach! All teams don’t have boosters or parents willing to donate to the booster club. So the rich get richer and the title 1 schools stay down

So FHSAA will let coaches spend up to $15K of their own money… but won’t actually pay coaches $15K ANNUALLY? Got it. That checks out. Totally makes sense.

@CoachMacho Appreciate your support Coach... and dont worry... we got something in the works for Broward!

1 vote left. That is all that remains. 1 vote between where we have been and where Florida coaches are about to go. 1 vote that impacts thousands of men and women who show up early, stay late, and pour into our students, schools, and communities every single day. 1 vote that says sacrifice matters. 1 vote that says leadership matters. 1 vote that says coaches matter. History is staring us in the face. Are you ready?

@Coach_Hendrix1 To branch off that, bill SB-538 allows our boosters to also pay coaches what they deem fit, which they weren't allowed to do before. Your stipend was your stipend, regardless of what your booster club thought you were worth.

@Coach_Hendrix1 This bill just allows coaches to use money they raised (or even their own pocket money) to provide a kid with benefits that were deemed "impermissible" before. (i.e. Uber rides or therapy) It doesn't have to come from a coach's pockets personally, it can come from the boosters.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 SB 538 PASSES the Florida Senate. 38 - 0. UNANIMOUS. Let that sink in. Florida coaches have been heard. 1 vote left in the Florida House. 1 vote between years of sacrifice and historic change. This is not momentum. This is inevitability. #PayFLCoaches

@CheyneSeleski @RonDeSantis @3YearLetterman Calculate the dollar/hr that teachers get paid versus coaches, then get back to me. Teachers, while underpaid, have seen raises. Coaching pay has been the same for 50 years.

@RonDeSantis @3YearLetterman What about teachers man….. TEACHERS. You know, the group thats 50th in pay in the country.

If we can get Florida coaches up to @3YearLetterman salary levels then katy bar the door. Would make our high school programs even better.
