I actually think Crabree could have been a good coach in time but lacked in experience. It takes a nice mixture to succeed, and in a place like Pound, too many landmines. Not only did I think he was lacking in experience himself, but there wasn't a lot of experience on the staff. Joedirt said something about getting kids to run through a wall, but the kids have to also feel confidence in the coach to do that. That doesn't happen when there is problems adjusting or fixing problems. Kids are smart sometimes. They realize when they are facing an uphill battle before the battle even begins. If you feel you have a coaching staff that is going to put you in a position to win, you have faith, if you don't, faith goes quick.

I've said it before and will say it again, Crabtree probably would have been fine if he assisted some, got his feet wet and jumped in. Now jumped into Pound, thats a dangerous location for anybody, and he probably is too nice to have made it there.
