The Greatest Coaches in Alabama High School Football History
|
Who is the greatest coach in Alabama high school football history? Well, honestly we will leave that debate to all the football fans in Alabama. It makes for great debate and argument among football fans but in reality it is impossible to determine which coach is considered the best. The first problem in determining who is the best high school football coach in Alabama is to decide the criteria. Is it the coach with the most wins? Is it the coach with the best winning percentage? Is it the coach with the most playoff wins or most state titles? Maybe it is the coach with the most region wins or best region winning percentage. Possibly it is the coach that has turned around two or more programs during their careers. |
