Coaching is always the problem when there is a lack of success in parent's eyes. It is easier to blame coaches than all their "little Johnnies" on the field. The mentality of the NBA is rearing it's head in HS sports these days. Coaches are expendable. Easier to change coach than the players or culture. People talk about kid's "moving" to good programs. Easier to move to a program with established success than the years it takes to improve a program from the inside. Harder to get other kids to come out and play for a dismal program. All of these factors promote the status quo and increase the gap between the have's and have not's. Hire someone who the kids will believe in, give him all the resources possible and support him for the next 7 years. Don't pay attention to varsity record for a few years but watch development of feeder program and JV. That's just my opinion. Good luck to Coach Mullins. I have absolutely no association with Coach Mullins or Dunbar, so I have no agenda here. Just see this happen in a lot of programs.
