Been saying this for 3+ years. Cov Cath realized this with the new coach. Play your best both ways, spell them when they need a breather and let them be football players..........not pawns in the philosophy of a coach. If the talent level was that of a Moeller, St. X, Trinity, Elder, etc.....where you literally have hundreds of boys capable of filling holes and still win.......then all for it. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case in the past 3-4 years.
Coach to the talent level you have, coach to the skills you have in your players, adapt and find a way!
It is somewhat easy to be successful coaching talent.......coaches are built/judged when they have to coach up less talented kids and still be successful.
Cov Cath is a perfect example how Eddie has realized his capabilities and limitations.
Play your best athletes/players.........isn't that the way it use to be back in the day?

Very well said and I cannot agree with you more. I have used these same type statements to people who think Dale Mueller was a "great" football coach. Dale was a very good motivator and got the kids in the program to buy into his philosophy and lets be honest, he had a wealth of talent. Sure he adjusted his approach each year based upon the players that he had, but I can honestly say if in a tight game and it came down to X's and O's he was like any other coach.

The current coach and staff have continually refused to put their team in a position to win. Last year as South Oldham was driving for the winning score, Senior Michael Dunn and Junior Trent Johnson are standing on the sidelines watching their season end because coaches REFUSED to make a change in an attempt to win a game. Beau Hoge hid a lot of things when he was the QB because of his high football IQ. The last 3 years the coaching staff has been exposed a bit as they have not been able to coach them up as you say.
