What was accomplished during the first nine years of this decade is legendary. 108 wins, 30 losses, 1 state title, 3 runner ups, and a winning percentage of 78%. Not sure about you but I like those odds. Most coaches during this era are giving in to the fast paced, no huddle and sexy spread offenses. The growing trend is the ever popular shot gun formation with 5 wide outs throwing the ball 35 times a game. Martin has stuck with what works for the Cougars. Some call it boring, the old Wing T that might put the new microwave generation to sleep. Well the old Wing T @ Goodpasture is capable of putting up 400 yards in any game, keeps the opposing team worn down, while the Cougars just keep hitting you. Time of possession usually is in the Cougars favor. Seems real simple but it has been very complex for opposing teams to figure out.

Coach David Martin appears ready to reload again. 2010 offers him nearly 90 players in his arsenol and more speed than he has seen since 2006. The good news for Cougar fans is he is showing no signs of slowing down. It appears he is catching his second wind and enjoying where he is and what he is doing as much as ever.

There is no truth to the rumor that Obama has offered Coach Martin the Chief of Homeland Security positon. When it comes to protecting the Goodpasture turf, nobody is better than Coach Martin. During this decade from 2000-2009, Goodpasture only lost a grand total of only 8 home games including playoff games. The man protects the home turf better than most 5 star Generals. There is nothing boring about that.
