My... how the mighty East has fallen. Is it time for a new coach? What's going on?

Bullitt East has a lot of talent in their Sophomore class. As freshman last year their only loss was to John Hardin, and it was a close game. I know very little about Bullitt East but after this year they should be ok.

Injuries play a big role in HS sports. In their offense the QB is critical and they are now on their 3rd QB. That is tough for any team. BE will be fine!

I think the question is more about the culture around the program than wins and losses. There are experienced coaches in the school that want no part of that program right now. So much so that in the last couples of seasons they have paid coaching positions go an entire season vacant.

 

Theyve done a good job at lower levels but seems like they have lots of attrition and arent keeping kids in program or developing them for 4 years.

 

Going through QBs is a risk you take when running option. Game I saw against Collins they looked inept at all aspects of game.

And North and Central both starting 3-0 adds some extra pressure.

This East team is loaded with talent! IMO its a system issue not the talent

I remember 2 years ago they were down to John Hardin 28-7 with around 7 minutes left in the game. They drove down the field and scored but the problem was it took them over 6 minutes to do so. Not a big fan of their veer offense especially when they are trailing.

Veer isnt necessarily the problem. Urban Meyer and Gus Malzhan run a hybrid of wing t and veer principles in their offenses.

 

East Ive seen over years is two TE two RB with no triple to their option, no counters and no play action passing. So when they face a good team in playoffs they struggle badly.

And I cant imagine their style attracts some of the better athletes in the school to come out and play football.
