No disrespect to Coach Allan, what makes him a better coach?

-He runs a pee-wee offense
-Usually has 20-30 players, which are terrible numbers for 3A
-Has won 3 games in two years
-Not sure, but has he had one kid play college football?

What makes him a better coach?

Belfry's primary offense is the wishbone. They have won state championships with that offense.

I agree Coach Allen's offense is a bit simple but you've got to understand that he has to start somewhere. Two of the three schools that make East Ridge have never had football before. Something has to be established and then built on. Just because he runs a "pee-wee" offense doesnt make him a bad coach. If it is executed right and no mistakes are made it can be a very good offense. But thats with any offense. Didnt Norman and the Wildcats run the wishbone last year? (Not sure what they are going to be running this year)

Yes, Allen hasnt won many games since being at ER, but Vince Lombardi couldnt have won with the groups that he has had. That's not the coaches fault coming in. The kids had hardly ever lifted weights! Norman walked into a great group of kids and had alotta success with them and probably will continue to do so.

Numbers havent been very good at ER but you have to actually start winning before more kids get interested in playing. But I would say Allen has hit the hallways of the school and the feeder schools trying to get kids to come out. Fact is, kids in eastern Kentucky are just plain out lazy these days IMO.
