I agree with this 100%. If your teams at Taboro had a ton of talent and you weren't winning state championships (or sectional for that matter), you might have some thoughts about what you can do differently, though. "We've always done things this way" is fine if you're still churning out championships. Trust me, I'm not pounding the table for every program to move to the spread. I'm a fan of Adams Central and we run the ball 90% of the time out of the wing-t. We've also gone to semistate 4 out of the last 6 seasons and made a trip to LOS in 21. If we went 10 years without a sectional championship and we were averaging 11 pts/game in post season losses, I hope the staff would consider changes that can be made to get over the hump.

What works for one program won't necessarily work for another. Staffs of talented rosters need to maximize their potential. Running the same system for 20 years is fantastic as long as it produces postseason championships, assuming that's how you define success. I think Leo is at the point where regular season success and NE8 championships just aren't enough to deem a season a success.

And I agree with you on that.  Trust me we don't just stay in our base T all the time, we run twins, pro, over, unbalanced etc...  But for us it is about basing our culture and doing what works for us.  We've had years in the past when success wasn't met.  My point is it's not always the offense you are running but more of the belief that you put into it.  You can be the smartest spread guy in the world and still go 0-10.  We still after all the success.  How can we improve.  Our goal is to continue to win, so what can we do day to day to get better?  It's more about those things.  Putting kids in places to be successful and making sure they believe that they can be successful.

I speak of this from actual experience.  Leo staff talked to us here at Tarboro High School in Tarboro, NC.  We have been running the T (we refer to it as the Tarboro T) since the 1950's.  It is ingrained in our town.  Our rec legs, middle schools, JV and Varsity all run the same offense.

You can say what you what you want about the offense. But since 2008 we have played for Ten State Championships winning Seven of them.  We have average over that time 35 points per game.  So don't question the offense.  If you preach the right thing and coach at the highest levels.  Any offense can and will work.  Teach what you know and get people to believe.  That's what it is about.

Just our opinion.  We don't plan change our offense and we will still intended to compete for State Championships.
