D2 was very loaded... Dunbar, Thurgood and Alter were top tier! far too much criticism for HS coaches on this thread. His body of work at franklin was solid. Springboro is a proven tough place to coach at.
Ive said this in a previous post. The coaches who have won in Springfield South or North were Springfield community people. There are three who are community guys!
Coaching experience helps, no denying that for a program like Springfield. Its an obvious rebuild and most veteran coaches at this juncture of the year are locked in on their program. If they are a teacher, they have tenure and financially would be taking a hit to teach at the high school. Small...
The most successful head coaches in recent memory in Springfield were:
Eddie Ford (Springfield North)
Larry Ham (Springfield South)
Isiah Carson (Springfield High School)
All are Springfield Guys!!!
