Over a career it's Norm Persin and Howie isn't close. Let me know when Howie builds two programs into two of the top programs in the state and wins a state title. Norm is third all-time in career win. Howie is a fine coach, but no, he's not close to being the best with Norm still on the sidelines.

Norm chases talent. He don’t go nowhere that isn’t loaded. Howie builds them from the ground up. I hope they meet up soon and Howie will show you who’s the best. I just know he will.

Norm isn’t chasing anything. He’s just trying to get a comfortable seat courtside and probably make some changes at the half.

These ARE NOT in any order - just off the top of my head:

Coach Dropsey (Logan Elm)
Coach NJ Kight (Vinton County)
Coach Gardner (Marietta)
Coach Duerr ( New Lexington)
Coach Shaeffer (Fairfield Union)
Coach Leist (Eastern Pike)
Coach Carpenter (Circleville)
Coach Miller (Piketon)

others?

Already established outstanding young coaches :

Coach Arey (Peebles)
Coach Williams (Western)
Coach Morrow (Jackson)
Coach McKinnis (Oak Hill)

others?

Norm’s coaching resume speaks for itself…. Go Jeeps!!!

Howie doesn’t chase talent but he sure does chase after a little “Honey”. My man loves the sweet stuff.

Norm was definitely a lot less involved and extremely calmer than he used to be when I watched Webster. To be expected with old age though. That being said I agree the resume speaks

Gardner has completely changed the culture at Marietta. Coach VanderWal, the highly successful Marietta College coach, absolutely raves about him. I think he would know.
