Not a fan of this.  Taking away the necessity of hitting the front end of a 1and1 potentially changes strategy.  Just my opinion.

But 4 seeds still beat 1 seeds in football.  Every year.
I'm not a fan of that many going either, but when a 4 beats a 1 it's justified.  Even if very few times.  It truly shows that some districts are just weaker/stronger than others.  In all actuality, 3 beating 2 shouldn't technically happen either but it's extremely common.

You would literally run out of head coaches as they retire if they had to have experience as a HC.  If some kind of stipulation per school district.. some schools would have to be willing to accept a HC with an extremely poor history of success due to small applicant pools.  What if the only applicant with HC experience is 4-46?  That's better than an applicant with coordinator experience on a state championship team?  
Every coordinator.. every head coach.. every coach.. was a 1st timer once upon a time.  Sometimes you gotta take a chance on it turning out ok.

Seriously?  Have you not been on this forum long?  I understand the game.. but this is the mecca of: number of unathletic kids per unrealistic parents, facilities were good enough for grandpa so they're good enough for me, can't work out during summers because (insert excuse), can't pay for experienced coaches but expect experienced coaches, then fire the coach because they didn't win a title by week 4.

By the way.. the players WILL likely get behind him.  It's the experts that won't, if anyone. 

I remember reading/hearing that the kid led Hardin's 8th grade to a district championship in just about every sport.  The same group being terrible... at best... before and after him.. Again, 2nd hand information.  But if true, winning district for Hardin boys on any level can't be a small feat.  I'm sure that's uncommon.
5A is definitely a different animal, though.

Not uncommon for good programs to hire within.

Same.
No chance they open this job up.  Maybe because it's "required".. but someone from current staff gets this I bet.

I'm not sure what it is about posters on this site not being able to read posts in their entirety.  Graduation of impact players..... Reclassification..... those are two DIFFERENT factors that CAN significantly change a school's success from one year to another.  When BOTH happen together, it can be especially detrimental.
Now.. I can't explain simpler than that.  If you still don't understand, then I don't know...

But La Grange was too damn hot." - Charlie Robison 

Imagine thinking you can predict the success of a high school football team based on the previous 5 years.  Literally 5 groups of seniors gone and 2 and a half potential classification changes. Not to mention move ins, possible injuries, coaching changes, etc..
This is hilarious.  I'm patiently waiting for the conversation to turn to who has a better personality based on astrological sign. 
This has, "we're gonna be good because we won a state title in the 80s" vibes all over it.

Well done, gents.  Being the best at scoring the least is still the best at something.
Silver lining.
