Pike Central requires an experienced coach who can effectively manage parental involvement, ensuring they contribute positively to the program. Continuing to hire the same coaches will only yield predictable outcomes, necessitating a comprehensive overhaul. While Elkins shows promise, he requires mentorship to reach his potential as a head coach and can see him in that role in the future. Rehiring Shawn Thacker would be a significant misstep; instead, the program needs an outsider capable of instilling a winning tradition. Without such changes, the cycle of underperformance will persist.
