Look at the most successful programs in the state over the last 50 years. The big 3, Highlands, Bowling Green, Mayfield, Beechwood, Danville, New Cath, Johnson Central, Belfry, etc. They all have one thing in common. They all have one or two coaches that were there for a long freaking time and nearly groomed their replacements when they left. There's something to be said for that imo.

I agree with ya, having a stable coach there for a long time helps breed success. But that alone won’t help them. You have to look on both sides fence. How many coaches have been around their program forever and they are just mediocre or even worse? A lot. Plus most of the schools you mentioned have Good feeder programs. Which I think is key. PLD can’t do that so they’ll have to adopt a different model or approach to it. It almost sounds like a commitment issue. Like the admin and school almost just don’t care about football. I think they need to go for someone young, who is a players coach that they’ll wanna play for, someone who will energize the program.
