[Do-double-gg]

With all do respect double g, you are an idiot and have no bearing on Lawrence county football. I do respect your passion for the game and program because believe it or not you are the type of people who make Friday nights even more enjoyable for young men due to the passion you show. It takes a couple of crazies to make a player feel above the magicial heavens when those lights turn on. Anyways, back to the thread, I believe that no matter if a coach is in his 80th year or 1st, a winner is a winner. The talent level that Lawrence County had to work with last year defianetly should have been better reflected by their performance. A coach takes talent and molds them into winners!! I'm not saying that Cecil is a bad guy and wouldn't give the shirt off his back but will last season reflect the future outcome of what's to come? If you are willing to say that the senior leadership and the talent of last years team couldn't produce better results, then I question your football IQ of what it takes to take a team beyond their capabilities. He is in a young period in a head coaching career at LC and especially from a program that demands the impossible as it seems at times. But is this a telling tell of what the future holds? If he can't work with what he had last year can the program wait another 3 years for talent to re-surface? Nothing against coach cecil and his coaching staff but maybe I just see the writing on the wall a little clearer than most; he will be replaced in 2 years with mediocre results and a un happy bulldog nation. I would love to eat crow on this one but that's just my opinion!!

With all due respect I probably am an idiot, no, not even probably I am an idiot and I like it that way. I will tell you this one thing I believe however. A man by the name of Albert Einstein said that the true definition of insanity is doing the same thing the same way over and over again and expecting a different result and that is what this school does and that is what the coach did with this team last year. And I could not agree more with you that with the the talent this team had last year that they should have done better. They might even still have the same record but they should have done better then they did against every team they had. Not to bring up the past but I remember one year that we upset Breathitt county and went to the state semies against Burbon county. Now who was the coach of that team??? Do you give up, none other then Dudley Hilton. Do you know what year that was for him at Bourbon????? Give up, it was year number one #1. Now before people start pounding on me, let me say this. I dont compare this coach to Hilton nor should I expect that much from him but coach Hilton took over that team and never had a program going yet and did not even know the players yet and they won the state championship. Now I dont care if he had nfl talent at every position at that school that is a lot to acomplish in one year. This Lawrence coach had a lot of big advantages on coach Hilton. He knows the program, Knows the system,knows the players and was an assistant here for years The only games we won last year was a few that we were supposed to win and some of those were close. The Morgan county game was neck and neck and the only reason we won was because our off week came on Morgans last season game so we had 2 weeks to prepare to their 1 week. Now with all that said I think that if this coach was even 1/2 as good as Hilton that is all I ask just 1/2 we should have done better. Is this a good way to judge a coach? I don't know for sure but I think you can tell a lot from a coaches 1st year. Bottom line, this man has been coaching for a long time with this school and others so do you expect him to find some coaching ability and knowledge all of a sudden that he forgot about???? I don't think so. Just my opinion
