[single shot]

I'm an impartial outsider on this one. I've always liked Coach Hines as a person and think he's done a good job as a coach.

That said, he has always had the reputation as being not very invested in helping his kids get recruited by colleges. I went to Somerset so I can't comment based on personal experience, but many of my friends who played for him at Pulaski have that opinion of him.

Could be a reason for some of the anti-Hines sentiment amongst the Maroon parents.

Unfortunately it’s an old school mentality that if your good enough colleges will find you and it couldn’t be farther from the truth. However you would be surprised at the number of coaches that feel that way and some of them are considered hall of famers in high school football...
