What makes a Legendary coach....Legendary?

[REBELRON]

Maryville has had 2 Legendary Head Coaches.

 

Everyone knows about George Quarles. He is a great coach and great man. His assistants are good men also. Watching a documentry on ESPN about Rush Probst makes me appreciate George Quarles even more. George has a ton of Character. Probst has none. I know a lot of people may not know who Probst is. He was the former head coach at Hoover in Alabama. His team was on 2 a days show on MTV.

 

The other Maryville legend is Ted Wilson. Man was a master motivator. He was great with kids. He had a great staff around him. Don Story is to defense what GQ is to offense.

George Quarles, Gary Rankin, Calvin Short, Steve Brewer, John Wade Tucker, Carlton Flatt, Ken Netherland, Ted Wilson, Graham Clark, Emory Hale, Jack Armstrong, Don Woods.....just to get started.

 

 I agree with MHS , this is a very nice List .... I guess you'd have to Include Ricky Bowers here too .

I guess I would need to add him given what he's done. I don't know if Scott Meadows is worthy of being considered "legendary" given all his moves.

Graham Clark has been really good but don't think you can put a guy in there who has never won a title let alone coached in the finals. Clark has done neither.

What makes a legendary coach...character, motivational skills, football smarts, and time...probably in that order. The obvious one left off all your lists...Jim Stowe...the man kept "coaching" long after his retirement. Many young men in Lexington are much better human beings for having known him, plenty of those after his coaching career ended.
