That man has won everywhere he's been and will win anywhere he goes. I haven't seen any of English's teams but I've heard he's a pretty darn good coach.[/quote]eland.I think Coach English to be considered on these list's, he needs to get his Bulldogs to Austin a few times.[/quote]There are a number of great coaches who never get to Austin and there are some who got to Austin without much coaching expertise.[/quote]Yeah, no doubt. I played for one. Davy David...state title '86. I can assure it was not from his coaching expertise. No program in Texas has done less with more talent than Cleveland.
pinelandflash Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Is this list all-time best or current? Don't know much about the current coaches but any all-time list would be incomplete without Jack Whitton. Won two titles at West Sabine in the 60's. Look up his stats.
Dick Vitale Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 No offense, but PRE-integration titles should not even COUNT! If those teams had to play the old PVIL schools, they would HAVE no titles. Sorry, but that's just a fact.
Honest Abe Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 WOW!! You just answered my question from the other thread about why teams like Nederland should never beat the Ozen's of the world....As Cyndi Lauper sang 'And we see your true colors shinning through...'Sad you think that way...

stevenash Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 [quote name="knows2much" post="1370569" timestamp="1360160946"]I have always had a problem with this topic. I'm not saying that all of the coaches listed are not great coaches....they all have proven track records, experience, resume's...etc. But what truly makes a good coach? If someone truly is the "best" coach...then why don't they win a title every year? Why don't they win every game? Aren't they in a position every game to "out coach" the opposing coach?Did the TCU coach "outcoach" Bill Self last night?You cannot tell me that a coach that has won a championship is a better coach than all coaches that have not won a championship.[/quote]

Dick Vitale Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Listen do you guys ACTUALLY think that Buna would have beaten Bmt. Hebert, or Houston Wheatley, or Lincoln back in the days when they were not allowed to play in the UIL? If you do, you are delusional. ::) Has NOTHING to do with my own personal beliefs about race, or how I feel about segregation, or how idiotic it was....So do not attempt to turn it into that...I just know that pre-integration, the "white" UIL wanted NO PART of those PVIL league teams.

Would like to see a more impressive résumé based on pure numbers as you provided. The other coaches were impressive at 22-7/year. Sutherland is a man amongst boys in that category.
Pumper Posted February 7, 2013 Report Posted February 7, 2013 Agree. Let those numbers sink in a minute. 619-111 over 20 years. 31-6 average record. Success at EC, WOS, Kountze, HJ. 2 state championships, and at least 2 more final fours. That doesn't even mention the years as an assistant when he had a hand in some champion teams with strong records. The talent level is up and down over the years, but the winning continues....Very impressive.
