I’m no where near being a Coach, but based on my observations over the years, the HC is just part of the equation. The remainder of the Staff is what will make a successful Coach/Team. Take Surratt. Was he “unbeatable” prior to going to Carthage? I go back to Doug Etheridge and his time at, what was referred to then, the University of PNG. After all his success at PNG, he went to (I believe) Round Rock. There (if memory is correct) he was just an average Coach. I figure it’s because he wasn’t able to bring all his Staff. Evidently the Staff at Carthage compliment each other. The HC is the nucleus, but good assistants make it complete. So, Jmo but if a Coaching Staff is a winning team, so will be the football players.
My 2 cents.
