I know many here are around other coaches on a regular basis, "insiders", alumni, possibly a head coach and a few assistants or two...When being around your coach, or watching your coach who do you notice commands attention or gets a lot of love from fellow coaches? What I've noticed, going to many weekend coach conferences...

Johnny Hines (surprising? he's got a ship, Johnny may not be the most winning, but coaches I see always seem to like this guy. I do too)
Sam Harp (can't believe how many seem to gravitate towards coach Harp, or turn to "fans" on his social medias)
Phillip Haywood (kind of a big, duh. Everyone with a lick of sense knows this man is THE Legend of this state)
Larry French (I know many who've said it doesn't get a lot better than coach French)
Ty Scroggins (Coach may be respected more since he passed away, but he was ultra professional. We sat with his mom for at least 2 or 3 big playoff games, at their house. She was so proud of him, and rightfully so).


I think most would mention coach Mattney, but I can't recall running into him at the conferences I was at mid 2000teens to 2020. Maybe I just missed him or I was sent to listen to a D line coach, etc.. But I wish I had met him. I know he is as respected as anyone, and no one would have ever underestimated him again.
