Bingo!

Curious:  You don't think much of PNG's staff either?

A famous coach once said:  Your record as a coach will tell you who you are as a coach.  So, is it always the coach (usually) and always the player's fault (usually not).  But I'd say over 90% is coaching.  It's hard to argue that through 27 years, Vidor has had 2 coaches with losing records.  Again, never had the athletes?!  But, you are right -- nothing is 100%!  Thank you for your opinion!

There is an unlimited number of examples with coaches "winning with good players, losing with bad players". Is Bill Belichick a good coach? He seems to be struggling at NC and ultimately flamed out in NE after he lost certain players. 

There is another saying that 1000+ famous coaches have made as well (since you like quotes): "It is about Jimmies and Joes, not Xs and Os".

I only like quotes that actually make sense!  

PS -- he's only been at NC for one year.  Great coaches building a winning program is a process.  But if it hasn't been done it in 7 years, it's probably not gonna happen.  That's why, if a school is serious, you look elsewhere!  Again, nothing is 100%.

Awesome staff… doesn’t mean they go to another school and start winning without the jimmys and joes.

Fascinating thought:  They are good -- but...

Let me ask you another easy one:  You don't think Surratt at Carthage could win anywhere else?

You remind me of one of those people who can't accept when they are wrong. They keep trying to prove their theory, and all it does is dig a deeper hole. Just stop because you know damn good and well that PNG's staff, Carthage's staff, is not rolling into Vidor and winning WITHOUT the help of Jimmy's and Joe's transferring in.

He would not win at "Huntington" or "Tarkington".
