Is it for certain that Highlands will continue to play CovCath?  I believe that CovCath is solidly in 5A and Highlands is playing up.  I see that changing when the next classification cycle occurs.

I believe the best course for HHS is to play against schools their own size and play CCH each year just like Beechwood does.  Playing in 4A will still give HHS a big challenge and NKY will get to see a CCH vs HHS game.

So an assistant coach at a GCL school, who has never been a head coach. Would somehow pass your litmus test of what Highlands needs to beat Covcath?

 

You also do realize why some of these GCL coaches and even assistant coaches as you say. May have been able to have success against Covcath. Is because they would have had the talent to compete against what Covcath has at those school. 
 

All these NKY coaches that you dismiss. Would you say any of them really have had even close to the amount of talent Covcath has had recently? So is it really poor coaching from other teams for why teams in NKY are winless against Covcath the last 3 years. Or is it because of Covcath having better superior talent at the majority of the positions of the teams they are playing against? I would say the talent is the biggest thing.

I think some would be surprised at how well ot ar least competitive some other coaches in NKY could do against Covcath if they had the same or even at least close to the same level of talent as Covcath over the last few years.

 

 

I understand that the depth of "talent" at Cov Cath might be greater, but it is equally about the culture of the "program."  Let' s not leave out that component.  Building a culture of success and winning doesn't just happen, it is developed and coached into the student-athletes.

Any thoughts on Tom Bolden?

No doubt it’s a part of it. However, being more talented than your opponent helps you win more. Winning more helps get more buy in. More buy in helps create the culture of success and winning. 
 

A coach can have the greatest ideas in the world to build a great culture. However, if you are playing more teams who are talented than you and losing. Then that culture you are trying to build, usually never gets off the ground. Especially in today’s society. Where many parents always feel their team is of equal talent, even if it’s not true. So when their kids team loses. They quickly blame the coaching. Which parents don’t realize, that in itself creates a problem, and hurts chances of building a culture of success and winning. Since it makes it harder for their kids to buy in, when their parents are saying the coaching is bad.  Which puts coaches in a need to have to win avoid that and be able to build it up. Which then gets back to needing to be more talented. 

Which is why when coaches are trying to build that culture of winning and success into a program. You typically now have to see those coaches start to try to schedule down, and play teams they may be more talented than to help get more wins. It keeps people in the stands quieter, and Winning gets more of the buy in, which in turns helps develop that culture of success and winning.  The culture they want to build usually doesn’t last without winning. Winning is the one that helps build it more than anything, and best chance of winning is usually by having more or at least equal talent to who you are playing. That is what helps build the culture of success the most.

That was long winded fc but I think you made some solid points.

Honestly,  I don’t understand the uproar about Highlands. They play hard defense.  The team will not improve with another underperforming coach taking his spot. If you were at the game you would know that Highlands had almost everybody in the box the entire game. It’s not the coaches fault. Cooper finally did what they should have from the start. Let Eric run more than 5 times a game , and put Lee and Wright back at safety. They are the best two athletes arguably in this area. That combo will draw any defense into attack mode.  It Opens up the passing lanes and the play action. They literally only passed 5 times. 47 rushes for almost 400 yards and 6tds against a defense that held Conner to 0. Can’t blame coaching for that. They couldn’t stop them. Hopefully against Ryle they do the same, but with more play action. Jimmies and Joe’s over Xs and Os.

That’s just wrong!  Highlands stayed in that 3-5 the entire game.  When Cooper had 8 offensive linemen, Highlands would line up with only 3 defensive players down and no one else within 5 yards of the LOS.

Seriously? Highlands blitzed the whole team and still couldn’t stop them. You can say it’s a 3-5 but in actual game play it’s far from it.

This is an interesting discussion.  This district is one of the best in the State.  What has Cooper done in the district in the past years?  I think the win against Highlands was the first in a long while.  What about wins against Conner and Boone?  It was mentioned that Cov Cath has won in every matchup.  Ryle is 6A I believe, but that is a huge rival.  Have they beat Ryle in the past few years?
