Overall Record 29-31 . Would love to see what Coach Mike Chauncey's Record was at Meigs to compare.
I think it was just expected that Coach Bartrum would succeed because he was a pro, and a very good one at what he did. That literally translated not at all. A great player definitely doesnt aslways mean great coach. I actually imagine it would be very difficult to develop a high school offense after being accustomed to pro offenses for 13 years. Might be hard to adjust back to that, especially the way the game has changed. What's hurt his record is not necessarily his coaching, although you could question some of his decisions but that's typical. It's a result of overscheduling. The non-league schedule has been very stout for the most part since he arrived. Can't really knock him for trying to step up the program, but the program just wasn't where it needed yo be to do that. As for Coach Chancey, he is a better coach than most and had a solid program at Meigs for a long time. Having said that, comparing their records really doesn't necessarily tell the whole story about whos the "better" coach.
