You take that same 1-9 or 0-10 coach and give him trinity talent or highlands and yes he will win football games. Your argument is not just. Kentucky has pockets of good football. Making the playoffs is not going to make it any better. Some of those teams are just wanting the season over and you are making them endure one more week to get beat down. Thought that's what spring football was for. What is there 36 + teams per class? And 32 make the playoffs? C'mon basically everyone is making the playoffs. So when someone wins a state title they are the best of 36 teams. Pretty weak if you ask me. Need to go back to 4 classes and top two from district make the playoffs.

I do not always agree with Hoot and do not agree with everything he is saying about this subject, but he is 100# correct in saying those coaches of 0-10 teams would not come to top programs and keep them at the top. Alot of people think Highlands has 40 D1players walking the hallways. An opposing NKY coach a couple of years made a comment that Dale (HHS coach) takes a bunch of small average athletes and turns them into a crazy football machine. Highlands is usually smaller with less overall talent than most teams but wins do to excellent coaching. Not any coach could just stand on the sidelines of a team like HHS (or JC like Hoot said) and win. There is a lot of bad coaching in KY football. I have seen a lot of teams over last ten years who had better talent than Highlands and should have beat them but didn't because of lack of coaching. Just one game that always comes to mind is the playoff game couple years ago against Bryan Station. That team had scary good talent all over the field and incredible size and speed. However some of the worst coaching I have ever seen. I have always felt sorry for that team because they deserved better. Coaching is so important in HS football
