I’ll counter some of your arguments with this. I don’t their problems lay with the team Dr, the want to go 5 wide, or the “look at this style with elite talent”.

I think their problems lay with the inability to change, at all. Austin Dotson comes to mind. Kid was taught absolutely nothing - Stoops even saying best run blocker one of worst pass blockers, there is tons of money and help waiting, it’s been turned away, and finally. Anyone can win with elite talent.

I do agree about ups and downs. That style allows you to be level.

I think Pikeville is the perfect example of success in the mountains. Coach Mac and his assistants adapts their style of play to their talent. We are the premiere program in Eastern Kentucky. We are the premiere athletics program in Eastern Kentucky. We made tough decisions on coaches and they were unpopular at the time. They worked out. Hardly any are Pikeville people.

Good luck to the Pirates in the rest of their sports and the next few years.

To say he was taught nothing is silly and just dumb. He did earn a scholarship offer to UK to play in the SEC. Yes a lot of that was god gifted ability but he had to work hard and Belfry helped him a lot along the way. Johnson Central runs a similar style of offense with their ground and pound style and had a lineman who is now at UK.

Money and help waiting?  You obviously have insight most don’t. Belfry has some good young players but no Issac Dixon or Austin Dotson in waiting. The future is yet to be determined all this young talent has a long way to go and much improvement needed. As far as a style change you will need to bring in some new blood in the coaching staff. This staff has their way and does not alter it much. Pass blocking is not stressed because of very little passing takes place. With fullback and both halfbacks returning I don’t see the passing game growing much more.
