I will not disagree with the first part of your post but I am going to challenge the homegrown coaching aspect. Wilbanks coached at KM before going to Shelby but he is not from Cleveland County. In his first three years Herron is 27-10 with one conference championship and he has a 6-3 record against CC teams during the 3yrs he has been at the helm. KM played eight playoff teams in the regular season this past season with 5 of those teams going to at least the 3rd round. Crest is 8-1 in CC, Shelby is 4-5, and Burns is 0-9 the last 3yrs in CC/ 23-13 overall against a MUCH weaker schedule. I am a firm believer that you always go after the best candidate you can get when you hire unless they bring a ton of baggage you can’t afford. Your homegrown coaching analysis stated sucks under the light of facts… Also many Shelby fans were ready for Wilbanks to go until realignment and Shelby saw a path to multiple titles over the next couple of years.
He has only been the head coach for 6 years and has won 3 State Championships. Very good man and loves his players. We as fans will take this all day long.

LMAO.... You have no clue.
You have no clue. The qb and running back next year will be excellent, can’t deny that. SP senior class overall next year will be good. Talent at Belmont Middle fell way off after this upcoming senior class but the saving grace for SP is the new Belmont population base helped the middle school bounce back much quicker than it originally thought. SP is well coached but they will need the assistance of those dreaded transfers after this senior class to slow their fall and keep pace in the Big South.

They'll get very few transfers due to that mummified offense they continue to run. They refuse change..... They'll go the way of the buffalo...

Make it make sense....
Every fan base complains about its coaches at some point in season.
Its aways there fault, never any other reason.
