Brad Hood of Allen County should be added to this group(IMO) 2007 the Patriots went 1-7, 2008 9-4 lost in the 3rd rd of the playoffs and they are off to a 3-0 start this year.

I almost choked on this one. I checked the KHSAA here are some stats:

 

Schneider 517 games, 338 wins 65%

Hilton 418 games, 320 wins 76%

Haywood 429 games, 319 wins 74%

Redman 429 games, 307 wins 71%

Glaser 360 games, 296 wins 82%

Harp 381 games, 294 wins 77%

 

Just because you have the most wins does not mean you are a good coach. He has been coaching since the days of leather helmets. jmo

 

I aggree with you on that. It really isn't impressive with the amount of years he coached.

Schneider is obviously a very good coach. You can't take that away from him. Hes accomplished a whole lot. As far as him being the best coach, then I can see arguing against him, but I can't see arguing that he isn't a good coach.

Good point , lets say 100 wins to start with anyone wanna go further?:popcorn:

 

Coach Steve Jewell

I aggree with you on that. It really isn't impressive with the amount of years he coached.

 

He hasn't really coached in years...He just stays on to keep padding his win total..I know he enjoys the kids but he should of retired a long time ago..

Coach Mueller - Highlands

Coach Schneider - New Cath

Coach Ray - Cov Cath (....he's back.......)

I'm suprised that former Pikeville coach, and current Letcher Central coach Hillard Howard hasn't gotten a mention. I'm not saying he is the best, but he belongs in the list of greats, right there with Hilton, Haywood,Holcomb, Schneider, ect.....

IMO a great coach is a person who takes a program that does not get the creme of the crop talent and makes them winners. A good coach is a person who coaches hard, has good talent (in some cases overwhelming talent) and never beats anybody better than his team but still wins state championships. A bad coach is someone who has great talent, practices softly, does not push weight lifting in off season and most impotantly loses games he should win again and again. Stephen Lickert is the only coach mentioned that would get my vote.

Coach Rash-Beechwood

Stephen Lickert is the only coach mentioned that would get my vote.

 

Is that because he is the only coach you know or because you feel all the other 30 coaches mentioned are not any good, because that is the way it sounds from your post.

I am saying in my opinion Stephen Lickert from Holmes is a great coach. That's it!

No Mueller? I guess he hasn't been around long enough to get the wins. Does anyone know what his record is?

There are a lot of Coaches in South Eastern Kentucky that do a lot with very little. Not many state championships but the coaches in EKY face a lot of issues that other programs and coaches do not have to deal with and do very well for what they have.

French has been the head coach of staffs with 3 coaches nomitaded in this thread: (Brad) Hood, Buchanon, and Smith. Imagine a staff with those four together... I agree, this is a thread that will contain a lot of homer opinions. It is easy to coach talent and numbers, but to get them to play together and have that talent know their role on a team is a difficult task. We could throw in state COY wins in this mix of criteria also. Which I wouldn't know where to even begin to research that (nor do I have the time).
