Has there ever been another dynasty that was as dominant as Marion Local is now? I’m thinking no. It would be nice if no one turns this topic into an uncivilized type.
They and the Newark Catholic teams from that era were the dynasties. Nothing like this though.What about Moeller under Jerry F? Seems in the 80's they were pretty dominant.

One of the main reasons for this, Tim GoodwinHas there ever been another dynasty that was as dominant as Marion Local is now? I’m thinking no. It would be nice if no one turns this topic into an uncivilized type.
Yes, fixed the title. Thanks!Playoff Winning percentage, correct?
I was getting ready to tell you missed South Range but I looked closer at the numbers and figured that must be it. Thanks for posting that.Yes, fixed the title. Thanks!
They likely don’t have 25 total appearances, but Kirtland would be top five, right? Like if you said minimum 50 total playoff games?Top 20 Playoff Winning Percentages of Teams with 25+ Appearances

Kirtland has 19 appearances.They likely don’t have 25 total appearances, but Kirtland would be top five, right? Like if you said minimum 50 total playoff games?
I would say 95%. The other 5% to Marion Local parents who keep their mouth shut and let Goodwin run his program as he sees fit.The majority - probably the vast majority - of Marion's football success is due to Tim Goodwin. Perhaps people get tired of hearing about him, but he is amazing.
3 Mercer Co. schools in the top 8. Impressive for a county with a pop. of 40K.Kirtland has 19 appearances.

Those are dynasty numbers. 14 titles in 20 years25 years, 20 regional championships, 14 state championships, and 3 runner-ups.
They were dynasty numbers eight years years ago!Those are dynasty numbers. 14 titles in 20 years. Crazy
A dynasty on top of a dynasty.They were dynasty numbers eight years years ago!
The only recent dynasty argument would be St. Ed’s. They dominate Ohio football at the highest division and play a nationally ranked schedule.Has there ever been another dynasty that was as dominant as Marion Local is now? I’m thinking no. It would be nice if no one turns this topic into an uncivilized type.
Who knows my guess is yes if those schools let him run his program without interference from parents.Is Tim Goodwin that great of a coach? I mean, if he took job at say St. Charles or Massillon Jackson, would he turn them into contenders?
Would Chuck Kyle succeed at those places? Tiger LaVerde? Chip Otten? Tim Tyrell? I mean you could plug any of the great current coaches and ask the same question. Goodwin is, in my opinion, the best HS coach in Ohio ever with using what he has (not being at a huge 1000+ enrollment school where you have hundreds of boys that could go out) and implementing a system that maximizes what he inherits every year.Is Tim Goodwin that great of a coach? I mean, if he took job at say St. Charles or Massillon Jackson, would he turn them into contenders?
