No one can argue. Douglas is putting in the work. Have a coaching staff that wants to win and puts in the effort to make it happen. Of course they will get kids. Who don’t want a coaching staff that is as committed as the athletes.  Its amazing how many coaches choose to coach but never commit to the effort.

Huh? What coaching staff doesn't want to win? Mostly all coaching staff put in the work and are grinders. Not trying to be negative towards Douglas, but you probably could take Sayres coaching staff and win at Douglas with some effort, it's not hard to see why they are successful, with their built-in advantages, ......and yes McPeak is a good coach, and they do a great job over there.  16th sometimes I think you give out too much information on Douglas that the Coaching staff probably would rather keep in house. Could be wrong.

Wanting to win and actually putting in the work to win are two different things. You can look around and see plenty of coaches putting in half effort. There are coaches out there that disappear after season and don’t show back up till summer.  Some have no interest in the weigh program. Some don’t stay in contact with their athletes. Some don’t check grades. Don’t assume every staff has the same level if commitment.

.....or talent, or facilities, or administration that really cares about football to let you do things to be successful, so you should never assume these things either.

Please elaborate on their build in advantages.

2 schools on one campus, they have a program that can get you into the school and if you drop the program, you still can stay at the school (could be like this at other FCPS) multiple kids that live out of district, Fieldhouse, state of art weight room that no other Fayette County public school has. Multiple QB's that were brought in and left and went back to their original school to graduate after the season. Administration that was hired to have a successful football program. Got to hire coaches that was at one time banned from Coaching in Kentucky, got more but I'm going to stop because it seems like I am hating on Douglas which I'm not trying to I actually like their program, but a question was asked.

Going to back track on the banned part, but I'm pretty sure at one time that might have been the case.

Correct Carter G is in the building - Douglass nor Carter G staff control who applies and gets in, that is handled by the district - the narrative that Douglass just funnels kids in that program is a FALSE narrative.
If you are kicked out of Carter G you can stay at Douglass - -  false narrative. you can stay ONLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE DISTRICT. 
Every school in FCPS has students approved out of district. Not a Douglass thing.
The weight room was designed and built upon opening. I would counter that every other school has a weight room and a sperate facility used for hitting and other things. Douglass is the only school in FCPS without one. I assure you the coaches would trade their Fieldhouse with about anyone in town if they were to also get a second "hitting facility". lockers are terrible and the big empty hotbox serves very little purpose. (it does look good though) .
Transfers - everyone has them come and go. There is another team in town who had a kid start in one sport for them in the fall and go back to original school and start in another sport as soon as season ended- again not a Douglass thing 
Administration was hired to have a successful football program - false narrative. Not saying athletics are not important to them but if you knew anything about FCPS athletics you would laugh at that statement. The fact that they are two former football coaches drives this narrative. 
coach hired was banned from coaching in ky. - False narrative.
