ol' Temptation and Footballking16, you two have one heckuva conversation going, and I see both sides
I've got 2 examples of culture v.s social economics:
1) Coach Mo, sometime between leaving Carmel and going back to Bloomington South, ended up at Salem. 2, maybe 3 seasons, never had a winning season in Salem. Why? types of kids and true community and corporation buy-in, perhaps?
2) Coach Brian Moore, who had a reputation for building successful programs at Seeger and Fountain Central, became head coach at Lafayette Jeff, around 2015, 2016, somewhere in there. Went from a 1A school to a 5A(at the time) school, took a program from 1 win the previous season to 8 in his one and only season there. Why? Community and School buy in, along with athletes buying in as well.
I get the conference switch at the time is always pointed at as a factor of this success for Coach Moore on here before, but his foundation and implement of culture worked just the same at a big inner city school just like it did at a small rural community school. Coach Mo didn't have the same luck.
Maybe I'm missing the mark on the social economics point you guys are trying to get each other to admit to. Maybe I'm spot on. Either way, thats my 2 cents...
