Top five active coaches in Southeast Ohio

[Out of Bounds]

Falcon, I believe they have 1's by their name because he wasn't ranking them in order.

I also believe you have to grade coaches on their accomplishments. It's done that way on every level. College is NCAA tourney victories and championships. Pro is Play off wins and Championships. High school has to be League Championships and Tournament runs or something. So saying that Regional Finals is his standard for coaches is fine by me.

And Competitor, I had to throw Gene's name in there just to be different. Because he and Larry Jordan are definately the top coaches I know.

Carl Wolfe made it to the finals in 1982. Lost to Middletowm fenwick.

I am fairly certain Dave Young has been to the finals also.

[Ironman92]

Young just has the one appearance...incorrect refs kept him from the finals

[TheMalteseFalcon]

Well I said they were good coaches AND fun to watch I didn't just say they were fun to watch and if you would go back to the previous page there is others who listed some of the same coaches as I did so chill out if you can

No you didn't. Read it yourself......
"Three Coaches that are up there in my book and are fun to watch Coach is ....."

I'll "chill out" if you'll quit trying to put some of your favorite wannabes on the 'elite' list. Deal ??

[dukiees1]

If you see I said that are up there on my list AND fun to watch which I meant was good as well as being fun to watch because of the love they have for the game that shows in the way they coach is all. Sorry If I offended you and I apologize that my so called wannabe's don't count to your elite list But I'm not the only one who put these same coaches on here so why don't you ride them over it as well!!

[TheMalteseFalcon]

If you see I said that are up there on my list

....and that equates to them being "good" ??

" being fun to watch because of the love they have for the game "
I think that is true of 99% of the coaches out there. They sure aren't there for the money!!

" Sorry If I offended you...."
No offense at all. Just seems like a little mid-guided loyalty where it may not be deserved all that much.

"But I'm not the only one who put these same coaches on here so why don't you ride them over it as well!!"
LOL.... Most of those people don't trot out those same names on EVERY thread that comes up like you do.

" I apologize that my so called wannabe's don't count to your elite list"
I don't think I have ever put a "list" or preference on this site.

Well sorry I didn't pay attention as to who posted the topic but the is forum where you are allowed to give your opinion and I gave mine if you don't agree that is fine but you don't have to dawg other people because of who they think are very good coaches and to add to my list I had forgot to mention Roger Zornes and I hope that one doesn't make you laugh

Barrick took Wheelersburg to the state finals in 1995--his first year there.

Dick Hopkins, Rick Hopkins, Tom Smith, Joe Suboticki.

I think Coach Thompson from Federal Hocking should be on this list! He did win D4 coach of the year a few years ago. He’s really turned the program around. Pfloyd…..keep up the great work and Merry Christmas

[Ironman92]

1. Maddox
2. Speed
3. Arey

My top 3

[Jumper45]

Carroll Hawhee from Waverly and Charlie McAfee of Athens. These two were great coaches

[peake71]

Until this year you would have to of had Ryan Davis to this list. I hope he continues with his new school

[pfloyd]

... Absolutely peake71 - Coach Davis IS one of the best ... my understanding his Bulldogs at Bloom Carroll are undefeated? at least they were I believe 4-0 before the break ... I'm going to try to get up to BC on 1/7 Saturday to catch BC vs Fairfield Union ... want to catch Davis the Younger too!

[peake71]

Pfloyd had planned on going to see Bloom Carroll and coach Davis on the 7th. But I am leaving on the 8th to take my sister to Cleveland Clinic for doctor visit and procedures on the 9th to get ready for surgery on the 20th.
Cyberknife or gamma knife as it us called.

How many of the coaches names that came up was and assistant coach under Osborne at time or another ?

[Jason Vorhees]

For Jim Osborne, this sticks out to me:

In the early to Mid 1970’s, his assistants were Rick Van Metre and Norm Persin. That’s over 1,700 wins on one staff.
