Newton has changed his football staff three years in a row. Consistency is the bedrock of all great teams. And not just football, but with baseball, basketball, wrestling and all the rest. There's that consistency that you don't get until two or three years. Which is what Newton and the administration at Gulf have tried to build.
Funny thing is, it was the principal who had to convince Newton.
I feel we're back on the right track, we've got some solid coaching with college experience. Newton recalls the exchange with Renneckar this summer, at a time when his football staff wasn't even complete. So he had his doubts. We're out there now with 38 new kids, this from a team that only had 21 last year. That's almost a drastic change.
