I respect your opinion and understand your philosophy. I agree it should be the parents. The reality is it's a different time. We get a lot of kids with very little guidance. Seen a lot of kids that don't know what they're going to eat or where they're going to sleep etc.Kids around the pain pill epidemic all the time.
The philosophy of no relationships is a great way to fail IMO. Just look at last basketball coach. In fact the one major philosophy I will go to my grave with us that when a kid knows you genuinely love them they will accept being pushed beyond what they could ever push themselves to be great!
You don't like the coaches that's fine. You question his work ethic that's fine. As somebody who has coached with multiple coach of the year staffs I'll defend him from 1st hand knowledge. I've been with him when nobody's around and seen him work. I've bounced ideas, watched film and game planned with him. His football IQ when we did D is as good as anybody else I've been around on D.
Realistically do you think We were better than Belfry this year?
Do you think we're better than Belfry this year?
If not do you think they've had a successful year if they finish 2nd in District behind Belfry?

I think finishing 2nd to Belfry would be a very successful year. Heck I think finishing 3rd to Belfry and Pike Central would be a very successful year with how young and small we are but do you think either of those things are going to happen. I think at the end of the year it will be like this.

#2Pike Central

I think last year we had enough talent,size,speed and experience to finish 2nd to Belfry but I just don't see it this year. Belfry is going to be just as good as last year. Pike is going to be strong also,maybe just a little off from last but not much. There was a lot of talk about Pike loosing the head coach but from what I hear he is still there. Sheldon Clark had a very weird year last year but I think they will much improved this year and we go to their house this time. East Ridge has had a lot of problems with us and just about every other team so who knows with those guys. If we did finish 2nd to Belfry I would jump for joy but I think that will be a large task. Some polls have us ranked over Pike Central but I just don't see it Just my own personal opinion.
