16 votes and we are dead even!
I picked 10 and 2 average across my career, but a magical state championship season sounds awesome!
I think what I would do to get that sense of excitement is to continuously rebuild struggling programs in to a state of competitiveness and success.

I realize that the vast majority of us coaches, get into this profession to help develop young men, not just develop athletes, but develop young men into future leaders,husbands, and fathers.... but good lord I want at least 1 ring lol

Win one the right way and they can never take it away. I'll take a ring.

10-2
It's a players game, but if you're staying at 10-2 for a career you'll out coaching a lot of damn people.

If you're going to have "one magical season" but average .500 that means you're going have some really lousy years.

The answer depends on when that magical season takes place. If it happens the last year I am coaching, then I'll take the .500 average with the state championship. Otherwise, especially if that state championship season happens at the beginning of your career, then there will be some people who will be unsatisfied with those average seasons real quick.

I have had a "magical state championship" and I honestly did less coaching that year than I ever have before or since... Championships are about 95% the athletes you have, but going 10-2 EVERY YEAR but never having that elite-talent to win one would be more of what I prefer as it would be a better indicator of success as a coach.

I picked magical season. When I saw 10-2, I thought of a program that has talent but gets outcoached in the playoffs.

I chose championship because knowing I could do it once is enough for my mindset.

The one thing going for you if you get the ring, is that the hayseeds can never say you can't "win the big game"
Madden wrote about it in one of his books, which are really good btw he said that before he had won the superbowl everybody said he could coach but he didn't have "it" to win the "big game". To him it seemed like people would just wait until he lost and then decide that game was the "big game" and then put in the newspaper how he was 0-8 or whatever in "big games"
but once you win the whole thing, they can't even say that anymore

Never came close as a player even though I was on some damn good teams...would love to get one as a coach. Just don't want to be that coach with a title or two that looks back and says "the year we won state was the most miserable of my career"
