Instead they hire a 1-2 star guy who changes nothing drastic, and your mediocre at best. Some small places need to accept that a stepping stone isnt always a bad thing. Or simply offer guys more...$$$ Most small school directors aren’t experienced enough to be able to conduct a competent coaching search and actually make a good hire. They certainly don’t want to have to do it every few years. Couple that with the fact most don’t appreciate the importance athletics play in high school and they’d rather hire the safe one time guy and live with pretty good or worse and not have to do it again for a very long time if ever. The systems that are experienced, intelligent and involved enough to make the truly good hires at a small school are the ones we’re used to seeing in late November every year. Just my take.

Its not always the right answer to hire the hometown guy, and chase ghosts. There are better coaches in the state than in your hometown. I love the Satterfield's, but I wouldn't mind some young buck to come in and revolutionize our program. Are you naked bootleggers cousin.

I like this answer. You are spot on, sir. Competence is huge. When you put people in power by the good ol boy system, you never have the grapefruits to get out of it.
