As you know I've preached it before but the big schools can be relevant in the football playoffs but the entire system has to by in from the pee wee up. I can promise you if Caine Ballard was the head coach at DB he would win them a championship with the athletes they have including the ones walking the halls. It's a system and a strong head coach that knows what they are doing.
Who's going to pay them?
In my opinion coaches need to be in the school to interact with the kids/players. They need to be there to help encourage and intervene when it is necessary. Coaches need to have access to players attendance, grades, and discipline records.
Coaches are a huge influence on players.
Wake up because that is HS football now. They will either ride the pine, find a new position, or transfer. Every school recruits. Some are better than others, some don't have to try as hard after awhile once they start winning more than the surrounding area schools.
