1-9 at Middletown is like going 1-9 at Highlands. Those folks have huge expectations. Most coaches win when they have talent. I'd be more interested in how competitive their teams are when they do not have talent. That is when coaching excellence shines.

How disciplined are their teams? Do they take a lot of unnecessary penalties? Do they have unforced turnovers? And , a big one for Ryle, how well do they relate with the boosters and parents?

Well the issue with any D1 school in Cincy is keeping the guys competitive all year long. They loss to Elder by 6 and Fairfield by a 11, both of those being playoff teams. But they had some ugly losses too.

With that said, Everhart did break a playoff drought at Winton Woods in 2005 and really put them on the map in Cincinnati for football.
