Here’s a question I’ve yet to see anyone pose. Was this class overrated or is chuck smith not as good as once thought?

I personally think this Boyle class was very special and talented. We’re they blown up by some past their actual potential? Absolutely! But they were still very very talented.

Coach smith on the other hand has now lost two years in a row with this monster class. To me, because of questionable coaching. Is he still a legend? Oh yea! Without a doubt!! Was he too put high up the pedestal? YEP!

I hate to bring one or the other down in anyway, and I won’t! But it’s honestly got to be one or the other. I’ve followed these kids for 3 years now since they beat us in the title game, I know what they possess. I’m just curious about that specific question and honest opinions about it....

Other than not kicking the field goal at the end, I thought Chuck Smith's calls were on the money most of the night. Everything they called as far as routes, kids were open, but then either got whacked by a crazy good Johnson Central corner, or linebacker, or uncharacteristic drops from Smith, or uncharacteristic accuracy by Reed. Some of that was pretty good pressure put on the QB and he was slightly off. The only bad thing I felt coach Chuck Smith did, was not try the field goal. Everyone in the house that knew about that kicker I'm sure questioned coach about that. Why, why, why? But I was sort of pulling for Johnson Central so I was more happy Smith didn't call for a kick. I still remember beating these guys in the 5th grade...:-) Seriously, I feel for anyone that loses a game like this, either team.
