No disrespect intended....Let a new coach come into Highlands and go 3-7 with all the drama (from the coach and community).....then lets see what many will do and say.

No disrespect taken.

While not 3-7, Highlands did go 7-5 a few years back, which is way below the expectations of the community and supporters. I'm sure there were some people in the community that had their thoughts and complaints about coaching decisions (heck, I may have been one of them :biggrin but they weren't aired publicly (and certainly not on message boards that players can read); and the coaches and players weren't criticized. Rather, the supporters realized that the coaches and players were hurting more than anyone so they needed support. Team stuck together and while they got beat in the playoffs to CovCath, team chemistry remained strong and the coaching staff stayed together. The next year they went 15-0 winning state. I fervently believe that would have not happened if the team had been pulled apart the prior year by fans criticizing the players and coaches. Keeping a coaching staff together is one of the most important factors in establishing and maintaining a successful program. Start second guessing and publicly criticizing coaches, and coaches will not stick around.

Just give this guy some time (like 3 or 4 years).
