Can we please get an understanding of what it takes to be coach of the year?
#1
Alright, the more I read these coach of the year picks year after year, the more insane I think the voters are. I know this is going to sound like a little homerism, but even the blind should be able to see what I'm about to lay out. Joe Morris almost never gets recognized for this award and it is crazy. Here are the facts to back this.

2008 was a down year for Mayfield, with coach Joe at the helm, as they didn't win their district or make it to the semis.

2009 they go 13-2 and finish as state runners up. They lost to what has become a perineal power in 2a or 3a ( Caldwell Co) by 7 and then the eventual state champions. Great improvement from the year before. Yet, no coach of the year for 1a.

2010, perfect season, 1a state champs. They put 11 running clocks up out of 15 games. He won 1a coach of the year.

2011, 14-1, with a loss in the state championship. No coach of the year.

2012, 14-1 and state champs. The only loss was on the road to a top 10 5a team in the first game of the season after replacing a butt load of players, mostly on the line. No coach of the year.

2013, 14-1 and state champs in 1a. The only loss was on the road to a top 5 2a team by 7. This after replacing one of the best line backing crews in history of the school, the schools leading tackler and rusher. This after replacing most of the line again. Still no coach of the year.

2014, 14-1 and state champs in 1a. The only loss was on the road to a top 10 6a team in OT by 1 point. This with a large portion of undersized sophomores taking places of a lot of lost talent from the year before. This in my opinion was the most challenging and greatest level of achievement ever for this coaching staff. Still no coach of the year.

2015, 14-1 and state champs in 2a. This as 1 of the smallest schools in their new class. The only loss again to a top ten 6a team in OT. This after having to replace all five starting offensive linemen and all defensive linemen. This with their leading rusher missing at least 4 games. Still no coach of the year.

Now, add to this what all the Mayfield haters love to point out. During this time, not 1 D1 recruit from this team. Also, the Cards are almost always the smallest team across the board on the field each week. This would tend to tell me that he gets more done that almost anyone with far less than most. So, please, please explain!!!!
