Salmons went 0-11 his 1st year facing some good teams, the next year he goes 11-1 faceing some bad teams. Salmons was 21-15 at lc which was a 4a school at the time. He had 2 wins against paintsville 1a, 2 against east ridge 3a, 2 against shelby valley 2a, 2 against east carter, 2 against greenup, 2 against rowan county, 2 against boyd county. That is 14 of his 21 wins right their. Salmons played these teams to improve his record the team did not get better under salmons the program did not get better under salmons. Cecil was 18 - 18 his first 3 years with 6 of those losses to belfry. He has played better teams, he is comitted to lc. Lc was just a stepping stone for salmons he never intended to stay at lc. He used the school, the program, and the kids for his own gain.

I agree dropping belfry was not good but it does look like the basic core of the schedule was the same as his first year? However, I am not that familiar with some of those west Virginia teams they played in his second year?
