Do programs want to get better?

Completely wrong. Kirtland80 with the avatar is the one and only. The other trolls multiple threads.

Haven't seen either one of those jokers for a while. Hopefully that beating the MAC team put on them has shut them up. Tired of hearing how they are the only ones that know how to win.

They won 55 in a row. And that's not the way the original Kirtland poster was.

And now they've lost 1 in a row and I remember him being that way. He even argued so much with a moderator last year that he got banned. So, yea, I'm glad he hasn't been on here in a while.

Versailles wanted to get better.

Every coach knows what it takes to get there. These guys get together in the off-season at conferences. But tiger laverde wins because he knows how to coach. This past game though he was outsmarted.

Yes, he was out coached.

We start ours early…and the same playbook is ran from pee wee right on up to varsity

Awesome. That’s the way it should be. And try to keep a teaching but winning tradition all the way through. This also really keeps younger kids involved if the high school players are involved some. I ran our peewee program for several years. I asked the varsity coach if I could run his offense and he was shocked I wanted to. Most groups won’t work together. Is what makes it hard. At the end a new varsity coach came i. Hated peewee ball and basically ruined it. We are still trying to get it rolling again 3 years later

Way too much daddy ball in pee wee at most places. If you can get a good group of coaches in it's a blessing. But daddy ball can ruin it quickly.

Some school boards view sports as nothing more than a extracurricular activity so they don’t really care if they win or not

This. I know we're all sports fans, but division 6 high school sports doesn't have the same goal as a college sport or pro franchise.

Our school happens to be lucky to have a great coach right now, but they aren't found under ever rock and tree. A stable program that wins 4-7 games a year isn't the worst thing, and not easy to find.

Yea, I know of a coach that won 6 league championships in 8 years, but had one bad season and they fired him. Needless to say they have struggled to win a few games ever since after hiring a daddy coach, and then another coach, and now on coach number three.

This thread raises a great question.
My answer is it depends on the administration and community since they pick the Super and the Board.
I had an administrator, principal, tell me once that if you want fewer problems then you hope all your programs go .500.
If you win a bunch or lose a bunch each of those present problems.
If you look at it from his perspective it's hard to argue with the .500 argument.
History tells us some communities demand winning while others don't seem to put a high value on it.
The latter win when a good group of kids come through or a great coach is hired (they will probably leave when they discover that they aren't getting the support they want).
