Sunday Thoughts… What matters more? Personnel or Coaching?
🏈 Above-average personnel + Below-average coaching = Average team (above .500)
🏈 Below-average personnel + Above-average coaching = Average team (fighting to get above .500)
🏈 Below-average personnel + Below-average coaching = Below-average team (below .500)
🏈 Above-average personnel + Above-average coaching = Above-average team (typically .700 or better)
IT TAKES BOTH! Personnel and coaching are both critical to building a consistently successful program.
Great coaching can elevate personnel. Great personnel can overcome coaching deficiencies.
There are rosters that should be winning more games than they are, and there are coaching staffs finding ways to win more games than their personnel might suggest.
As high school coaches, we have a responsibility to continue learning, adapting, and developing our craft to give our players and programs the best possible opportunity to compete.
You can't always control the personnel you have, but you can control the coach you become.
