I guess by some's opinion then a coach can be "one of the best" even going 0-10 every year. Quote

Show me one that doesn't have that goal. So, yes, that is the standard. And, if a school district has any sense, they would make a hire with the goal of winning the State Championship. 2nd: You have to wonder why he never won one. Let alone play in one. Personally yes he would have been gone. Maybe the next one would have won 10 State Titles. We'll never know. But, again, what ever the school district is satisfied with. But -- the fact is, Danaher never won one before or after the 7 years. There is no question that the goal every year is to win the state title.. I'm talking about the standard to which you fire someone or not. That's a little ridiculous. Have some realistic expectations. Quote

I mean the countless coaches that win 10+ or so games every year, make consistent playoff runs, and just do better with less. Several folks on that list will spend an entire career having not gotten a ring. Quote

All 3 are considered by the majority of setx high school football community as very good coaches & made the football programs better. Good thing Hooks won state at WOS before the 7 year limit was up.😁 Fact: Neumann never won a State Title. Do you hold or do you fold? My opinion: Faircloth will not and Matthews will not win a State Title. Again the difference is where you set the bar: I want a great/elite-type coach not just a very good coach. Oh, BTW -- doesn't the Vidor coach, after 22 years, still have a losing record. Again --it's where you set the bar! Quote

If this is the coaches expectations every year -- then why is it ridiculous?! So, in a reasonable amount of time, if the coach does not meet what their goal is every year, then why should this not be a firing standard? Quote

Quite a difference between a goal and what you're talking about. Every good coach in the system will say that's their goal, train like a champion, have kids believing that they're winners, and do everything possible to win every game.. but will realistically know whether or not it's a legit possibility. Coaches know their talent level and they know the other team's. MrUmp1, KF89 and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 1 Quote

This sentiment is exactly why I say Reginald Samples may be the best coach in the state the last 20 years considering where he's done it and who he's done it against. Samples has averaged something like 12.5 wins per season in 6A-D1 since taking 4A Dallas Lincoln to the state title game. Oddly enough no DISD team had been to the title game since, until SOC and one of his former players/understudy won a title this year. He has 311 wins in 32 years on the sideline, 10+ wins 14 of the last 15 seasons and has won 7 regional titles in the last 12 years. Dude is one of the greatest of all time. Quote
