I'm sure this guy has forgotten more football than most will ever know. However I just don't see someone at the end of their career as a guy that you want establishing a program for years to come. I know the coaching profession is prone to turnover but that shouldn't be the goal. The goal in my mind would to hire someone that is enthusiastic about the prospect of coaching more the 3-4 years at your high school. I know that older coaches have a wealth of knowledge and experience, but I see many of them late in their career take a job and then retire 2-3 years later. There's something to be said about consistency.

The man has a plan. Sounds like they hired someone who will install a system if the kids buy into will be successful. Would not be surprised if this leads to a new football stadium. 

He does have a plan, and a challenge. He has taken over at Diboll (2-8 1st year) and Angelton (5-5 first year) as May hires and not been real successful right out of the box. Same way in Ft. Worth and Seminole and Tomball Memorial. Seems that is takes a couple of years to get the program moving in the right direction. I will go out on a limb and predict a 4-6 finish, but he will get them in the playoffs by beating Bridge City.

It is a POLITICAL decision, made by a School Board that can't get out of their own way. 

I'm sure Vanover is a great coach, I've been told he is.

But, is he going to establish something that can last? Can he relate to the kids? 

 

The board asked parents what they wanted and experience and success were high on the list. 

I dont like that they didn't buy out the former coach after the season ended but on paper this hire looks good. He's had success at various levels. The fact he took a new high school and made the playoffs at the highest level shows he can build a program.

I think the kids will turn out. They're excited to play schools their size and smaller. And they're ready to start winning.

I watched the interview. Sounds like a good guy and probably the best hire this late in the season.  I wish Livingston the best of luck except against my Bears.

Looks like a solid hire. Dropping from 5A into an average 4A district they should be instantly competitive. Im not an SETX guy so I dont know much about their non-district opponents other than Jasper and Huntington...but I am going to predict 6-4 and 2nd place in the district.

2nd  place that’s a little high for the 1st year. I think they will only beat splendora and maybe Bridge City. LCM losing 20 something seniors returning only 6 I think still has shot at beating them unless we are really down

Only three more years of defending Livingston and I can go back down bear path on a full time basis. 

I think the lions are going to surprise outside observers.

I think the first year will be building year and it will be competitive game. I think they could go 4-6 which is a lot better then last year

Go look at the schedule.  They should be at or above 500 this year.

I’m not knocking Livingston I just it think it might be hard with a  new coach and a new system. What kind of offense does the new head coach run? I did not see one game last year of Livingstons team. I’m just going by them being 0-9. Other than jasper and liberty predistrict is pretty winnable. Our district is going to be pretty weak compared to east Texas we should win bi district but I don’t see anyone going passed that point. Lumberton and Huffman will probably be at the top in our district

Name the 6 wins.

And I know your first two will be Shepherd and Huntington, don't count you chickens before they hatch.

Not beating Liberty or Jasper.

Splendora and Huffman are better programs right now.

Bridge City is probably the only guaranteed win in District.

      Yeah, I got that but talk about a stretch. It should seem obvious that Trump’s prosecution is purely political. If someone is going to do a whataboutism, at least make it similar.  This is so ludicrous that it’s like comparing a ham sandwich to a wallet.

      You consistently try to say Trump ran our debt up and that the stock market and job market cratered during his administration (along with other MSNBC talking points). That is a flat out LIE, and you know it. Not only are you telling a mistruth, you knowingly are telling a mistruth...which is a blatant LIE...which makes you a dirtbag does it not? You know for a fact that the economy, stock market, and job market was thriving under Trump. You know that the Democrats controlled the house, and proposed a budget that would hurt the economy, in which he shut down the government. Even after this fiasco brought on by Democrats, our economy flourished under his administration. Then Covid19 hit, and the blue states shut down the country. YOU KNOW THIS, but continue to blame Trump. You lie...blatantly. Again, what do we call these people that partake in disseminating misleading information. You coined it...Dirtbags. Does the shoe fit? I bet it does. It is amazing that you try to put "MAGA people" into this little box for the soul purpose of allowing all negative attributes of anyone that will vote for Trump instead of Biden to be attributed. That is a sickening modus operandi of stupid people. It is hard for me to believe that you would adopt that childish stereotyping. But since you are willing, I'm willing to push back. I'm a Trump supporter. I will gladly vote for him over Biden. So get busy putting me in your silly little box of stereotypes so I can embarrass you some more. You've been shot down by practically everyone on this board when you say stuff like Trump is their Messiah, or that supporters overlook his flaws. Everyone on this board has stated that they don't agree with Trump on much of his behavior, but you ignore these statements and continue with your lies. Oh yeah, since I'm a Trump supporter, those comment were also directed directly at me. So let's go. Prove I'm a simpleton that will ignore all of Trump's flaws and vow to disown the bad ol' orangeman. Let's continue that diatribe you peddle. I now am interested in responding. I also have boxes I can place people in. Whose box is accurate? Better yet, whose box is more embarrassing? I'm fairly certain your box is more entertaining for the board to make fun of. TDS should be included in the DSM-6, or revise the DSM-5 to include it since this phenomenon is so pervasive now. You are a walking, talking picture of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do you like that box? Can you refute the rationale for placing you in that box. Everyone can refute your rationale for placing them into your irrational box, while you languish in your TDS box.

      Clinton got impeached because of it. David Pecker said it was true about Stormy today. Under oath.

      It’s not about worrying about Trump’s morality. It’s about him being held to a totally hypocritical standard that is applied to anybody else that’s not him. Double it if it happens to be a Democrat. What he did to Ted Cruz in 2016, for example. Accused him of extramarital affairs. Really? And the gang cheered the Master on. Sick is what it is.
