Again, this is where we’ll disagree. It’s not about the talent pool. It’s about getting right coach. Will some teams ever get the right coach? No! We see that around here.
Do a little study on how bad it was at Stephenville before Briles got there. Brownwood was the big dog. Then Stephenville won 4 Titles in 7 years.
I wonder what Aledo’s history looked like before Buchanan arrived?
What will get you fired quicker: An 0-50 record or someone that says, I’ve built character, teamwork and sportsmanship?
Wins and loses? What do you think kids would rather, experience what the PNG faithful has experienced the past two years or staying home like the majority of teams did?
I also believe that PAM has the potential. They are not reaching that potential. One has to wonder what PAM would look like if Surratt or Buchanan was their coach? I would say the look would be dramatically different. UNLESS, one thinks there is actually no difference between Surratt and the PAM coach!
Look, know one starts out as Elite. Surratt didn’t; Buchanan didn’t. Elite status is earned. One never knows what they’ll get. OF may get that special person. But you can’t do what Vidor and Bridge City did. It appears that they didn’t even try to find the next Surratt or Buchanan. Well, as for as BC, we’ll, you know how I feel about hiring home cooking.
Unfortunately for your thoughts, no school is going to hire an 0-50 coach. More likely that would get you fired. Although this coach might be the nicest guy in the world.
Every day coaches are hired and fired based on wins and losses. Right?! Who would you want coaching your team/kid, Surratt or a coach that’s has an 0-50 record over the last 5 years?
Absolutely! Why not? He did it in his second year at Carthage. No titles before Surratt and how many since he’s been there! The point is: some coaches have that special talent. At any given time there’s only less than 10% elite coaches.
That wasn’t for me. That was for others. Everyone here knows my success bar is higher than most. I’ll never waver on the 7 years. But remember, most elite coaches win their first SC in 4 years. I was just being generous by adding 3 years. You see, I do have feelings! 😏🤣
