Great Thread !! Of course success is measured many different ways depending on where your program is at right at this moment !  To some the degree of success desired isnt obtainable , take Peabody for instance, it a 8 win season and maybe round 2 of the playoffs next year "possible" a let down??? To the Fanatics like myself YEP . But in my heart of heart I know what we have had in 2 A ball 3 outta 6 years isnt really a reality is it ? Like Beauty succses is in the eye of the beholder imho. Sonwe have to weigh succses with true fact and numeric analysis , not want !

It starts with hiring the right coaches.  Then developing a program that stands for something positive.  Then sifting through a bunch kids to find the coachable ones.  Then leading by example so those kids buy into the program.  Then also mixing in a few “gifted athletically” kids that mesh well.  It’s a win win finding both attributes in the same kid.  Surround the kids with a sense of pride, showing them the past, present, and future.  Also, making sure you have coaches that believe in these kids on the field and off the field.  In some communities sports are all these kids have.  So to give them more to be proud of goes a long ways.  Making sure the administration cares about these kids’ education.  I know some may say this should have been said first, but like I said, in some communities sports are all they feel they have.  So get their trust and interest there first then follow up with school.  If you get a kid with the trifecta (Academics, Athleticism, and Coachable) you are blessed!  After all this, Win Win Win!  As a coach I’m sure it feels like success when a player moves on to play in college and the NFL, but even when a player is in their 40s and 50s and still calls you Coach...that feels like success.

i think its having a

  • 2 deep team who absolutely refuses to take even a single play off.
  • i favor run heavy, but can throw when needed.
  • teams that play to win. going for it on 4th when appropriate.
  • understanding the feel for each game. the momentum.
  • should win 8 games a year and
  • win 2 rounds minimum in playoffs.
  • no dumb penalties.
  • minimal gangsta stuff on the field.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
