The ability to coach has nothing to do with talent levels. If the PVIL had greater talent ( as you have said or inferred so often) why would the possibility of a great coach losing a game to one of those teams have any negative impact on his coaching record/resume or his standing in the annals of coaching?

Dick Vitale Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Would it be safe to mention that MOST 3A and below coaches are actually football coaches in disguise picking up an extra stipend check? So a really good coach SHOULD coach circles around most 3A opponents who are being coached by Offensive Coordinators from football? Not saying that this is the case here, but is it an accurate assessment of 3A and below coaching?

Lazeek Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Pretty good source tells me that Coach Fred Williams numbers that are posted are incorrect.Source says he only coach 13-14 years and has just over 400 wins. He does not have more wins than Gamble.

But that wont wash at playoff time. My scenario suggested that two good teams with two good coaches from similar sized schools had to deal with the same difficulties that the two good teams with two good coaches from larger schools

Coach Culley was a asst coach with Pampa and he was promoted to HC. Coach McNeely retired that same yr.It has been a few yrs but if my memory serves me that is what Coach Culley told me.
