I recently saw an article with a spotlight on Reed-Custer’s new coach and a little background on him. I didn’t realize RC was so bad. Since 2010 season they have only won 12 games and have not made the playoffs. Since 2000 they have only made the playoffs four times.
Now I have known a few of their coaches and families of players, so no ill-will in this post. However, my question is this. What type of expectations does a new coach have when they take over a team with such a lackluster history? How many years does the coach get to turn it around? Playing in the I-8 is not going to help their cause at all. They have a very tough road ahead and I only see a two win season max.
I’m sure there is a team or two in every conference so use your conference as a base to think of how this is handled by the school. Do some schools simply not care how their football team performs? Have I been spoiled by watching Wilmington for the better part of my fan tenure? What are the expectations for a team in similar situation?
