There is enough talent right now at Clay to win. There were a good number of middle school players in the system. This board will have no impact on the decision but I believe teo factors should not be overlooked: 1) a veteran coach from close by that knows the area, is well respected by other coaches, and who has a proven track record in tough situations would be ideal at this stage. 2) sometimes it takes an inexperienced young coach time to realize that in spite of what schemes he prefers that you have to play to fit your kids AND that most all programs that sustain success do it with a strong ground game and defense. This basketball on grass stuff is fine and it's fun but if you can't line up and run the football you are usually in trouble. Defense wins championships..... Like it or not. Hope they hire an experienced coach. They do have that option for a fact
