1. Head coach
.

.

everything else...
A good football program will quickly rot from the head with one bad hire. At Johnson Central, Bill Musick worked very actively with the Johnson Country elementary and middle school programs to build one of the best feeder systems in eastern Kentucky.
In Musick's final season, the Golden Eagles went undefeated in the regular season and seemed to have everything in place to continue its successful program. Yet, when Johnson County fumbled the hiring decision of Musick's two immediate successors, the team won only 3 games over the next three seasons.
Tradition, a good feeder system, a strong staff, community support, location, etc., all contribute to the success of a good football program, but a weak head coach can make any program look bad in a hurry. Because Musick had build a strong foundation, Jim Matney was able to turn Johnson Central's program around quickly, but if the school had hired another mediocre coach in his stead, then none of the hard work that Music did would have mattered.
