WOW Finished the DOC a couple of night ago....... Wild

The response wasn't to you....you don't need to feel compelled to open mouth. The original discussion was that enrollment was the most significant factor in large class championships, and specifically the enrollment of the big 3. I didn't agree, and simply showing that recent records of 6A would not support that statement as well. Look, I know when I type anything on this forum, it will result in you responding....every single time. Perhaps its just for sport???

It won't be for long.

Not saying he wasn't a good coach. His record over 5 years was 31-28 and was using this period to demonstrate in a conversation on this board that being one of the largest 3 schools in 6A doesn't automatically put a school in the 6A championship game. Guess I could have used Warren Central's last 3 years under Kirschner (another very good coach) is another example. Since his return to WC, he is 16-17. Carmel is 11-9 over the past 2 seasons with first round sectional losses. My point being, the largest populated schools, while certainly a benefit, are not a shoe-in to win to the 6A state title. As good as BD was last year, they had to work their tails off to overcome Brownsburg, Cathedral and CG, winning each game by 3 points, the last one in OT that could have certainly went either way. Their excellent kicker certainly made a huge difference. There seem to be a number of schools in the Indy metro area (and outside the area) that are overcoming the size differential and closing the gap. CG has done so for years...others now are doing the same.

For what it's worth, they called him. It's my understanding that he didn't pursue it. Have you taken a look at Russ's resume? It was his first head coaching job, but it wasn't his first state title. Russ is very analytical. I really respect the way he came in, listened to the people he needed to listen to, got tremendous buy-in from the players and motivated them. BD was absolutely loaded last year on both sides of the football. Can't deny that. They had a very good kicker. They got lucky at the right times, but they aren't there without that really good group of seniors.
