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.

Who can Pike Central draw to do that though? You think they have enough draw to get a respected coach to do the things you are saying?  Cause I agree with you 100% on everything you said needs to happen.

Facilities, facilities, facilities. Plus their AD is not a football guy. Never understood why they have not gotten turf yet. Do they even have a weight room and weight training class that football players are required to take? Seems like the Varney guy was a guy who the parents felt they could control. The next coach can’t be that guy.
