MBA vs MUS

This team is McGugin's best work. His first team he inheritied from Rutledge, and realistically should have won the state title with any member of the faculty standing on the sidelines. Last year's team returned a fair amount of talent, and should have done at least as well as they did. But this one really had very little to suggest a state championship appearance, certainly not after the injuries to Colbert and Griscom. This team owes a great deal of its success to coaching.

 

Regarding "luck," the problem on Thursday is that MUS is just as "lucky." One thing that I believe helped MBA was the move from East to Simonis at QB. No knock on East, but Simonis is very talented, and Ensworth had to deal with him with no real film to go on. BA had one game film to view. MUS has two games to look at; not a great body of work, but enough footage to start recognizing some tendencies.

Just a hypothetical question: IF MBA wins and McGugin is the DII coach of the year do you think the University of Ensworth will try and hire him?

I'm sure he is on Ricky's list for new asst. coaches.

 

There is no way McGugin would leave MBA. You can only have so much coaching talent at one school until the coaches start having problems with each other.

Sounds like the mid '60's Southwest Conference Theory as practiced by Darrell Royal and Bill Yoeman (at Houston, an independent at the time, but in the same neighborhood geographically and philosophically). They would have 200 players on scholarship, recognizing that there was no way they could ever use all of them, but also understanding they'd never risk playing against them either.

    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with county’s with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April 
    • It will be interesting to see if the Warren County School District allows this to go before a jury or they settle out of court before going to trial.  My guess is that this case never goes to trial.  If this goes before a jury, they could award even more than the $750K.  I was on a jury where they were asking for 185K and were awarded 1.2 million.  You never know what will happen in that jury room.
