True! I believe 1,000% that within 7 years Surratt could win a State Title. What in his head coaching history would make you think he couldn't? I guess you also believe that "athletes" only started showing up at Carthage when Surratt showed up?! From 1924 to 2007 (when Surratt showed up) and through 20 head coaches no "athletes" ever showed up because there were no State Titles, according to your thoughts. I understand you have to believe this because then you would have to believe that there are special coaches than can do this. And as you said there's no coaches that good. At any one time there are only about 3-5% of the coaches that can accomplish this. And that percentage may be generous.
Let me put one to you. Since you, and others, feel there are no differences in coaches that it all depends who gets the "athletes" and who doesn't, I submit this for you viewing pleasure: Back in 2007 when Surratt was hired, let's instead slip this name into that slot: How about the former Nederland coach Bobby August. According to you, and others, that since the "athletes" started showing up in 2007 that Carthage's outcome would look the same today if August was the coach. Remember -- ya'll think it doesn't matter who the coach is because all that matters is if you are lucky enough to have the "athletes"!
I believe Warren has more students than Newton. What I'm not sure is, are there always transfers at Newton like you talk about? Or has it just been bad coaching at Warren?!
