Coach Ivan McGlone's last teams at Russell were uninspired groups that weren't competitive with good teams, sort of like what I saw last night on the field for Belfry. Every coach has his time and when it goes downhill, it goes fast. That doesn't mean I don't respect what legendary coaches like that have done in their careers. It's just the reality of the passage of time.
As for Raceland getting better since "the prodigal son" left, I disagree here as well. That same "prodigal son" had beaten Raceland by double digits for the past 3 years including a 41-0 demolition in 2019. The problem for the "prodigal son" now? Raceland took advantage of the COVID year and Russell didn't. 5 sophomores who were on the losing side of that 41-0 beating were now on the winning side of this year's 40 point Raceland win over Russell as 5th year seniors. Add in the fact that 2 players on the Russell sideline in that 41-0 beating are now the QB and leading WR for Raceland this year. Throw in a couple of decent Ohio transfers and a couple of decent Ashland transfers to the mix of old players and you have "Raceland getting better" defined for you. It wasn't due to the "prodigal son" leaving Raceland.
As for Tackett, he has done a great job this season and should be at the front of the pack for 3A coach of the year.
I agree with you and I played on those teams. Coach did as good of a job as I think he could've at his age, but many fans longed to get out of the Wing-T offense and there wasn't enough patience in terms of development from everybody involved, coaches and players.
I have always thought and wished that Garry Morris would take over as head coach. He would do a terrific job. He brought the kind of energy that a program needs and had energy that was contagious. I know that a lot of players have the utmost respect for him.
I agree with you on Chad Tackett, he's done a great job. Seems like a solid person too.
