Tampa Bay Patriots football NEWS ITEM

To all the Suncoast Cobras family and friends go on The United Football Federation's facebook page and nominate your very own Coach David Bailey for Coach of the Year!!

Gene Allen No Doubt about! He is the most devoted Coach I have met in my 28 years of actually playing football. He took a bunch of guys who were drawing plays in the sand and turned us into a powerhouse, a family and a Team! What this man has done with this team is remarkable! He took a team that was only suppose to win a couple of games at the most, to a team that finished the season 6-4 in the UFF with a playoff birth and overall 8-4 counting games outside the UFF. Imagine this: Your a new Coach to the league you walk onto a practice field with 13 guys, who are having practice on a mesquito infested swamp we are using for a field. Not to mention using the over shadow of the lights from the Basketball court. Most Coaches would have walked away! Our group of misfits went from 13 to 47 down to a 34 man roster with a solid 25 players that committed to the team! This man took a group of guys and made a team out of them!! Did I mention that less than 10 of us ever played beyond youth Football, and less than 6 of the 10 played College or Semi-Pro. It is clear to me that Coach David Bailey is my nomination for Coach of The Year! He is an incredible Coach, Friend, Father, Husband and Mentor to us all!
