I don’t think you can expect to go from 1-9 to 10-0 in one year or even 5 years in most cases. There aren't that many elite coaches out there. So this doesn't surprise me. Again, just haven't got the right coach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGAIN, one has to earn it. So, yeah, according to this list, I'm not surprised Warren hasn't done anything yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burkeville had athletes 10 times better than their opponents during that run. Honest question: So, the athletes only showed up during Harper's time?

That’s the way it seems because they definitely don’t have those type of athletes now. It happens all the time for different reasons. At a small school like that playing 6 man football all it takes is a family with a couple athletes to move into town. 2 or 3 siblings and boom you have a totally different team.

I don't know that they ever won anything - Championship wise??? Only good thing in WCISD is Fred Elementary and a handful of teacher/coaches and students that have a clue You are one WCISD??

You are right about one thing: An elite coach will not take a job at Warren. But -- Warren is the type of school that could make someone an elite coach. Scott Surratt was not an elite coach before going to Carthage. Art Briles was not an elite coach before going to Stephenville. Do a little research on how tough it was at Stephenville before Briles got there. They were being dominated by Brownwood. It took him 6-7 to bring that team were they needed to be to compete. Again -- what was the difference you ask? The coach!! It's a process. One either has the ability to do it or not. It's tough. That's why there aren't that many elite coaches! As always, just my opinion! SmashMouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also does that mean that CT at WOS is no longer an elite coach , because Silsbee improved and a power house 4a 1 team ( Carthage ) moved into Region 3, 4a div 2, and prob will not go back to a state title until Carthage moves back up or gets put in region 2.

PlayActionPass Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 You can win a state championship without an elite coach. But you are not even winning a District championship without a couple elite players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next coach up, S. Surrett, comes in and proceeds to win 8 Titles. We'll just stick with this one example. Explain this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carthage had 8 football players sign on national signing day. That's also a factor. Community support is a factor. Facilities is a factor. Assistant coaching is a factor (both number of and ability).

Carthage has always had athletes, but not enough to win it all without elite coaching. They won district championships and even made deep runs with good coaching. When they got the elite coach, they started winning Championships. Some places have enough elite athletes to overcome mediocre coaching and still win it all. But, I will say it again. You are not even winning a district championship without a few great athletes. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really cant explain other than the right person in the right place at the right time. Kinda like the guy that walks into a store on a certain day and buys the winning lottery ticket . On a serious note , its a puzzle with a lot of pieces , and sometimes it all comes together, and most times it don't, thats why most dont make it to Jerry world.

wbfan Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Winning breeds winning. There's a reason why elementary and middle schoolers in Beaumont want to be Bruins whether they're zoned to Brook or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
