What would be the reason for the decline from 25 years ago if he is an "elite" coach? Did he lose his "elite" coaching abilities?

Yes, 2 State Titles puts you in the elite club no matter what happens down the road. Just think about all the coaches that can't even play in one much less win one. BTW, this is for football only. So, as of now there won't be a "she" involved.

BC HC Josh Smally fits this. But I dont consider him in the top 1% yet. @Reagan's 3% was generous. Doesn't mean he's not a great coach. Just not Elite. Still some years left to make the jump. If they continue the recent success it will snowball into more and more. Look for them to compete with WOS very well next season

Question. In your opinion, can an "elite" coach no longer be an "elite" coach? Or is he/she always an "elite" coach? Example. A coach wins two state championships in his first 5 years of coaching after taking over for a coach who had won 6 titles in 15 seasons. Previous coach built a top notch program. Then the next 25 years the coach doesn't win a state championship. In fact, he has a few losing seasons. Is he still "elite" because of those two state titles from 25 years ago?

Wait a second… is the rumored cen Tex Coach being hired a 409 guy??

My point being that they couldn't agree on an inside (Bronson) hire. Doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't agree on someone outside.

👀👀👀

First sentence is true.

I was told NEW guy had already informed his current staff..... However, I have been mislead before.

Elite is my definition. You have to have at least 2 State Titles in high school football to qualify. Anyone can have their own definition if they want.

Probably depends on your perspective and personal opinion. Dude is a heck of a ball coach.

Yes Sir

My new favorite!!!

15-1 in my big money brackets.

Word I received was the board was split on an inside hire and outside hire.

I wish we had an infinite number of likes. I’m already out. Those are too good, especially the rattlesnake.

A couple more: Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer. Too bad he never cries. Chuck Norris counted to infinity...twice. The dinosaurs looked at Chuck Norris the wrong way once. You know what happened to them. Chuck Norris was bitten by a rattlesnake. After two agonizing days of pain, the rattlesnake finally died.

Why is it only in high school? Is that because of recruiting? NIL? Etc....??? *If you are elite at the highest level... You should be elite at lower levels, or it doesn't work that way?

Some of my favorites: When asked how many push ups he can do, Chuck Norris responded "All of them". Chuck Norris can bounce a bowling ball. When monsters go to sleep they check under the bed for Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris is the only person that can divide by zero. Chuck Norris went to a feminist convention. He left with a freshly ironed shirt and a sandwich.

How funny this poster is all about a free America and everyone is welcome.....yet throws out the "REAL AMERICANS" as a backhanded jab....... That is what identity politics will do for you

I went 10/16 yesterday, losing a Sweet 16 pick with Wisconsin.

I responded to this in the correct thread Lets stay on topic

Yea - after 3 administrations could not find anyone to charge, lets arrest and hang them all..... Bring back trees and ropes🙄

Surratt went to a school with good athletes already in place and got the most out of them. Won a couple of championships, got the backing of the community, got great facilities, and now many of the best players from all the surrounding communities find ways to play there. He's as elite as it gets, but now that the talent is funneling in and the community has the reputation as title town, another solid coach could step in there and keep winning. On the flipside, Surratt is not going to a place with no talent and no support and have them winning championships quickly without players moving in and better facilities. and he's not moving down to the valley and taking over a team and winning state championships in 7 or 70 years. He could dominate that area, but he's still going to lose with his teams when they face dallas and houston late in the playoffs.

Well i truly believe, the word elite can be used in several ways. Elite coaching can be a coach that takes average kids at an average program and has them buy in and over achieves with them. This will require the coach to adjust his coaching styles almost every year based on the talent that he has from yr to yr. I also believe elite can be defined as a coach that has a program that is winning several games each year in the playoffs and making deep runs, and can keep that program on top year in and year out. I believe it is easier to win at those programs because you do have kids coming into the program that typically wouldnt be there if the program wasnt as successful.
