There are plenty of good coaches around the state. 

Rick Darlington, Castle, Robert Weiner, Bill Gierke, Mark Guandolo, and Ice Harris just to name a few. 

Now there are teams that can stack all star rosters and be successful like Roger Harriot, Pat Surtain, Verlon Dorminey and David Penland. These guys just recruit the best players in the area and can just out class the rest of the teams in their division. 

A lot of times these teams go out and lose to less talented better coached teams from out of state. AHP almost lost against Colquitt who lost 5 games and got blown out many times. It's because the coaching for Colquitt kept them in it and AHP is run by chickens with their head cut off. 

This state doesn't invest enough money in head coaches and assistant coaches and it shows in top national matchups all the time 

I would argue that Harriot and his staff are really good at what they do. Watch their concepts on both sides of the ball and their teams. They put their kids in good spots. Just because he is a new coach and people don't know him as well doesn't mean he isn't a good coach and only wins because of his "all star" roster. Come on, give credit where credit is due. I do agree with you on some stuff about the quality of coaches as a whole being extremely mediocre. Its a joke what the coaches get paid around here and without the quality of players around, these coaches would be out of the job. Take these mediocre coaches to GA, AL, TX, etc...they'd be fired in a heartbeat.

    • There are zero coaches on campus, every single coach left 
    • There is 1,750 kids in the school. That would be their fault if they can’t field a team of 40-50 players. I know it sucks about the mass exodus. I get it. But even though they won’t be competitive for the time being they should at least have enough varsity players returning, JV kids, and newcomers to field a team.    They should have had an assist at coach resume spring workouts, and maybe got in on a jamboree with lesser teams or held an inter squad scrimmage. But to cancel everything seems a bit erratic 
    • From 2018-2021 when Dillard was one of the top 5 teams in broward we got there because on the beginning we schedule within our actual talent on the field, we showed success that we are atleast a avg program being able to take care of business against avg and below avg teams. And with the right personnel we can become above avg and actually contend.    and with that came a undefeated regular season in 2019 with a regional final birth, a undefeated COVID season in 2020 and a Fri county championship and a 1 loss season in 2021 and a second round exit on the road to homestead.    dillard has to get back to that. But scheduling central, chaminade , sta and etc of back dropping each game by 40 is not gonna help the program.    you can say “aye atleast we scheduled them we didn’t back down” like I’ve said several times on here lol. but there’s no moral victories in football. You either won or you lost.
    • I wouldn’t say okay with it because wether they was on the schedule or not I’m bleeding blue & gray all day ready for smoke with which ever team were lining up across.    but as a former player & coach I also understand that when you’re a second year head coach taking over a program that haven’t seen a deep playoff run since 2019 and over the last 5 years they’ve played chaminade 5 times (0-5), norland once (1-0) Central once (0-1) gibbons once (0-1) & on top of that you have a mass exodus of players after the coach before you left ; you have to build your program back up to a contending program before you try to schedule the big dogs of south Florida.    for EX: last year Dillard at STA, GIBBONS & chaminade on the schedule went (0-3) and each lost was by over 20+ the sta loss was 58-0. But those games had to be played because of the last year of the contract.     
    • Will Lake Minneola even have a team come August
