If you include the Mitchell situation his record is 175-46 which is still 79%

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..

 

You are completely wrong on needing to retire. He's swallowed his pride and his coordinators definitely have played a bigger role this past decade than previously. HOWEVER, you will not find a better molder of men in this state, and that's what matters. There are a lot of coaches in NKY that wouldn't take a the same stand that Schneider has on certain issues. He's a man of priniciple, whether you agree w/ his decisions are not. People respect that, and it positively influences them. I know that it did me.

Coach Dale Mueller as of the beginning of this year, 188-33 (85%) 7 state titles and 2 state runner ups. Unreal

 

That is stupid. My Madden career doesn't beat that.

One may be right but not several if he isn't a good coach. Your comment leads me to believe that you think it is easier to coach at Highlands, T,X, or Danville which may be right in the beginning of a coaches career however; if your not successful early in the mentioned coaching positions you won't be around long. Lets not forget that the programs mentioned (Highlands, X and T not sure about Danville) play tougher schedules than most teams in Kentucky.

You can shuffle a coach into those schools and win a state championship. Just the facts, advantages are obvious.

It is my understanding that in 2004 Highlands had to forfeit all the games except for 2 because of playing Mitchell. Does this factor into this record? Because if it does then he would be over 90% in games that he actually won.

Isn't teh official record 175-46 then? Just wondering, but that is still a pretty good record.

And if he doesn't in a short period of time everyone wants his head on a platter!!!

I disagree. When you get to a program of this size you encounter a whole host of obsticals and issues that smaller schools never see or have to deal with. Trinity was good, but they weren't dominant until Beatty arrived. His winning percentage has got to be off the charts. Do they have great facilities and resources, yes. Can anybody be as successful as he has been since he arrived, no.

Well said.

 

It is one thing to build a program which takes a great coach to do. But in my opinion it can be more difficult to take over a program and keep them on top. There are many issues and the expectations can be crazy.

 

The fact of the matter is very simple. There is no clear definition for a great coach or best coach. I think that any coach that educates his or her athletes, and most importantly prepares his or her players for the game of life is a winner in my book. Although winning state titles is nice.

Sometimes it's the coach that does something with a program that never wins. There are alot of coaches out there that have taken over programs that were losers year after year and do the best coaching jobs. Redman took over a Ballard program that was not very good in the 70's and turned it into a strong program. 1 State Runner-up. He went to Waggener in the late 80's and won where nobody wins. At Male he took over a program that should win and he did win 3 State Titles, that's a coach. Beatty did the same thing at Trinity. Ty Scroggins is doing the same thing at Central. It also helps that they are not playing in the top class. Shawn Berner did the same thing at Ft. Campbell. There are so many good coaches out there that you can not narrow that list down to less than 20, because I guarantee someone can give you a name not on the list and that should be on the list. It's players and it's coache's that know how to use those players.

Highland's Dale Mueller at the top.

Boone County's I'd say is next(the whole staff). Someone told me that all of the coaching staff went and played for Boone. Can't wait for the game this week.

 

Mueller is the best in NKY, Thompson from Boone went to Highland's, and for him being the 2nd best coaching staff? Really? They don't make the top 10 in my book.

Coach Koz from Holy Cross definitely ranks among the top all time coaches.

Coach Haywood has taken a young group of players, only a handful of senoirs, starting a gob of frosh and soph and in his system he is turning them not only into a football team but some mighty fine respectable young men. I would have been proud to have had him for a coach while I played at Belfry. As far as the one-dementional thing goes, so what, if it works why change it. My old coach told me before he passed away that football has never changed since he played back in the 40's and 50's...its all about fundimentals and execution, you block you tackle you control the clock and hit harder than the other guy, then most times you will come out on top. This is why the same teams are good year in and year out...great coaching and KY has a bunch of them. My hat is off to ALL coaches for taking the time to build character in our young men year after year.
