Daniels (Jack) then Rector had that program already established when Hester took over.  Those dudes where already there.  I give credit for him helping to develop them and putting them in the right places to be successful which is what a coach should do.  I am just saying that for anyone to anoint any coach that has that type of athletes is nuts.  When Will left the Ravenwood program in terms of athletes was not in a good place.  And to just cast off what M Daniel did (even though I think how he got some of his guys is very shady) is also nuts.  THis is not politics therefore it is ok to disagree.  There is plenty of credit to go around when you talk about the success of Ravenwood.  

After Rector, Ravenwood fell off the map for four years under Tom Shuman and Joe Rietveld. Both were very nice individuals but couldn’t get it done on the field, going a combined 13-27 between 09-12. No playoffs during those four seasons. 0-4 against Brentwood including a game without a completed pass and two consecutive seasons with a combined score of 78-0. Rietveld also started his sophomore son at QB when he was likely the third best guy at best for the position. 
 

That is what Hester inherited. Anything established by Rector was gone by then. However, I will say that Daniels did an incredible job too and will not be overlooked.

Boy time flies.  I forgot about those 2 coaches.  Wonder whatever happened to Shuman.  Rector has a way of leaving when the school has a dry run of talent.  He did the same to Centennial.

Shuman last I heard a few years ago went back to West Virginia to retire. Rietveld isn’t in coaching anymore either I don’t think. 

What Rector did at Centennial regardless of talent before/during/after his tenure was incredible. It’s amazing how we all forgot about Centennial pre-2011 during the Rector years there. He seems to be doing a decent job at Father Ryan now.
