I was just doing the math. Joe Morris has been the head coach of Mayfield Cardinals for 25 seasons now. During that time he has coached in 14 state championships and won 7. He does it with local talent and usually undersized. As far as I know he hasn’t won coach of the year since 2002, his 3rd season.

Suffering from success. When a school like Mayfield performs that well for that long, people take for granted that the rest of the state doesn't just decide to hand you all the trophy every year. Winning a state championship is hard, no matter the school you are at.

I will say though, there is something more to be said about going into a bleak situation and completing transforming the program vs. winning at a traditional powerhouse. Thinking of Keegan Kendrick with this, going from a 4-6 season to a state championship in 6A is almost impossible to emulate.
