Coaches from around the state discuss turning losing programs around

It’s often hard to turn around losing high school football programs. Ronnie Baker, in his second season as head coach at Laney, said you have to get the players to believe in what you are trying to do. Luqman Salam, in his second season at Osborne, said he did what he thought was right for the kids. And Kevin Smith, in his sixth season at Perry, said a top-to-bottom culture change was needed.

All three coaches have turned around programs that have had long-time limited success.
