     Yeah but we dropped from 22-5A to 4A his first year so ...................... Before that we were in a district with Central, West Brook, LaPorte, Lee, Sterling & Deer Park, all of which had way larger numbers than us. . That drop in classification coinciding with his first year at the helm is what contributed to the "turning the program around" illusion.  That is one important factor that people often overlook when comparing him to coaches of the past and he wouldn't have done any better than any of the previous coaches if he had been in the same circumstances.

     You've got to look deeper than the surface and consider all variables. I

 

The UIL cutoff numbers is responsible for winners and losers every reclassification.  I know that, and have argued that very point.

However, perception is reality.  To the mob (parents and fans), the only things that matters are playing time and wins.  A coach that goes 8-2 with garbage competition and some decent kids is a hero while a coach that goes 2-8 in a gauntlet with no players deserves to be fired.

You’re not saying anything I don’t know.  Why do you think I get ridiculed when I say things like, “WOS can’t get out of the region when Carthage is in it”?  I’m bashed by the locals for even mentioning stuff like that.

This particular topic, he’s relatively more successful (on paper) than his predecessors.  The resume doesn’t include strength of schedule.

I believe the district was Vidor, Ozen, Jasper, Livingston, Lumberton, and Silsbee. 

I remember Nederland facing Ozen a few times in the bi-district round and even faced Vidor twice during the 2000 season, once in non-district and then in the bi-district round at Lamar. I remember that game cause it was wet, misty, and COLD!
