200 wins at Portage.
He has been the coach for 26 years.  Seems to be loved by team and community.   
Made playoffs 24 times.
7 conference titles.   3 undefeated seasons.
0 district championships.

if we had to do a top 10-20 coaches of our area all time where would gouse rank

Just for winning 200 at one school I'd have to give him top 5

Well how many other coaches have 200 plus wins? Im sure old laurel valley coach jerry page did

[GoldenRamsFAN]

I would assume don bailey, Franco, Hayes. All I can think of in the area....the old windber coach?

Deserves lots of credit for establishing a positive culture and model of consistency.  In the grand scheme of things though, coaches a team that plays in an incredibly weak conference.  0 district titles, nothing concrete to show for all those wins.

In his defense D6 A is probably one of the hardest districts to win in the state any classification.

True but other coaches have been able to do it with top teams, and his tenure is older than modern day domination

[GoldenRamsFAN]

It seems like every time he has a "top" team there are 3 other teams that are just as talented

Dave Baker, Ken Buzzard, Chuck Sponsky, Paul Shandor, Tom Irwin Ernie Fetzer.Not sure and probably don't have 200 but guys that have been around the block a couple of times.
