If it's a Legit Question, then your premise is a little flawed. If you got a coach that won football games (I mean won like Newton, WOS, etc. year in/year out) then the scouts are gonna come no matter what. Plus in this day and age, even Junior High kids can make their own highlight videos. Hudl, YouTube, MaxPreps and other sites give the ability for these kids to be noticed a lot more than even just 5 years ago.

Therefore, if you had a coach that could bring a team wins, then he would effectively be getting those same kids recruited.

So, with that thought in mind, your question could only be: Would you rather choose a coach that wins football games and gets kid recruited or would you rather choose a coach that loses football games and gets kid recruited?

I'll take the winner please...

That's Arthur Louis' resume....

Both.  In Beaumont, both can happen.  A city that produced a champion in '82 and a co-champion in 84 can have schools with deep playoff runs and significant amounts of scholarship offers

Title 1 schools are behind the 8 ball when it comes to winning big these days, especially at the 5A-6A level. Not saying it can’t be and isn’t done, but the larger school districts with kids that come from higher income families have pretty much taken over. All one needs to do is look at the past few years of state champs at the 5A-6A level

There is no reason that United shouldn't own all the teams in the Golden Triangle. One day ! One day they will get it together and will own this area. Its just a matter of time.

Do you feel like that will happen under the current regime?

I think coaching consistency is part of it, probably a big part of it.   Central was better about keeping a coach around for more than a couple of years but Ozen changed coaches every two years toward the end.

Consistency is a big part of it but we don't want one that is consistently losing either...

2017-Dallas Highland Park, College Station, Allen and Cy-Fair

2016-Dallas Highand Park, Aledo, Austin Lake Travis and DeSoto

I understand your point even though I'm not sure about the financial break down of Desoto.  I'm not expecting a state championship at United but I'm not excepting 2 wins a year either.

No, but you have to give a coach time to implement thier program and get the kids on board.  It usually takes more than two years.

Yessir I 100% see where you’re coming from. Desoto is very upper/middle class

It was the Ozen offensive system from the previous 2 years, just with more kids now but the same results.  Like I told the school board last night, those kids deserve better...

Weve seen it time and again

Would a new coach be able to bring in his own and staff and run his program? Consistency in the form of proven success is more helpful than perpetual mediocrity.

I'm sitting in Cheddars about to eat so I don't have much time but I received a 20 minute and 44 second phone call from one of the "Admin Powers" yesterday on this entire topic wanting to know my and the community's concerns about United football.  And I didn't hold back, I was actually more controlled last night because I only had 2 and half minutes...
