For whoever said:  “this Belfry team reminded me of some of Russell’s later teams when Ivan McGlone had lost his mojo….time for Haywood to retire…..”

You answered your own dumb question!!!!  How bad of a mistake was it at Russell to throw Coach McGlone away like trash and bring in the PRODIGAL SON to replace him.

Team he left got better; Russell got…. A LOT …..worse.

Also, read whoever made the Nebraska analogy.  I was talking to some of my family the other day about that scenario and what a huge mistake FROST made going there.

Calm down.

And furthermore…..RTRUTH- when Coach Tackett has let’s say…..several hundred wins and more rings than one hand can wear….then and only then can you start the debate you are trying to make.

This season showed how much coaching can make a difference in HS football.  Russell and Ashland had very similar starts today their seasons and they have equivalent talent levels.  The Ashland staff was able to overcome early set backs and improve throughout the season while Russell stayed stagnant and didn’t show much improvement.  I also think the Russell team may have quit on the coaches halfway through the season.
