My opinion: Surratt started winning the State Title in his second year (3 in a row) at Carthage. Don't see any reason why he couldn't duplicate this at, say, Crosby! Same thing goes for Buchanan and Briles. Again -- this is what state championship type coaches do. Oh, BTW, at Carthage, the second year was well below my 7 year requirement. "If" one is a championship type coach then one doesn't have to worry about the 7 year time frame. The ones that would have to worry are the ones that haven't won one in 7 years. If one can't do it in 7, well, then, there's a great chance it's not going to be done. Example: The former Nederland coach and the former PNG coach just to name a few.
