Based on a quick glance, it appears that Venice coach John Peacock has his name on about half of the agenda items. Clearly, he's heavily involved in the process and deserves to be commended for his involvement. That said, I did have to chuckle about his proposal involving the selections of officials for playoff games and his justifications for making sure the refs don't come from somewhere too close to one of the two teams. If you've ever been on the sideline of a Venice home game (which makes up about 90% of their schedule), you likely would chuckle too at the irony.
The FHSAA Football Advisory Committee, made up of 9 coaches, holds its annual meeting tomorrow to discuss items of interest. The agenda can be found here: https://fhsaa.com/documents/2026/1/6//FHSAA_Football_AC.pdf?id=7179
Some of the topics tie in to discussions held on these pages, including computer rankings, playoff selection, attendance zones, and the Open Division. Of course, this is only an advisory body, but it is refreshing to see that at least some of the coaches are aware and engaged in the challenges facing high school football in Florida.
