No better than Bubba Arledge. Vanover may have coached more games as a head coach, but he has a losing record. Arledge was a head coach for 7 years and is 10 games over .500 for his career.

You got some names? Is the BC leadership open to changing to a more modern, wide open offense? Would some of the baseball studs play if they did open it up?

Former head coach at Diboll and Tomball Memorial, if my memory hasn't completely gone away.

Any word on who has gotten interviews? Hearing the name Finis Vanover being mentioned.

Did Trinity ever hire?

Game 2 Hudson 4 Liberty 2 Game 3 Hudson 10 Liberty 1

The 1st Base Umpire should be in position to watch both, I'm pretty sure it is his responsibility.

I don't see why not, Chip is a good guy. heard he applied for the Livingston job.

No doubt they hate getting highlight films, I agree 100%. But, sometimes the highlights cause the Coaches on the road to take a detour to a school they might bypass. If you can get a College Coach to come into the fieldhouse, a good high school coach can sell a kid he thinks can play at the next level. Highlights lead to full game films and evaluations, which lead to official visits and offers. All i was saying is if a kid can play he will get seen.

On this, you are wrong. College Coaches don't go to games, they watch film. And College Coaches could care less what your record is (unless you are a QB) and they rarely even care what the score is. They watch film, evaluate the talent and skills, look at the measurable's (height, weight, 40 time, bench press, squat, 3 cone time etc) and decide if they are going to offer you. I'm telling you from experience, if you can play, D! coaches will find you. And with the advent of the internet and HUDL, every kid in America has the ability to produce a highlight tape and send it to every college he wants to attend. If they want to play, they will get themselves in front of the recruiter.

There is not a coach in the world that can "create" D! "TALENT." D! "TALENT" is GOD given and usually fairly easy to spot. That is why kids from schools that go 0-10 still get D! scholarships. Example: There was a defensive lineman from Greenville who played on 4, 0-10 teams. He did not win a single high school football game. His D1 talent got him a scholarship to SFA and he was drafted this year by the NFL. Now tell me, did the coaching that went 0-40 "create" this D1 talent? I don't think so. Now there are good to great Coaches out there that can take D2 or D3 talent and "develop" a kid into a D1 player. Or, really good coaches can put a kid with D2 talent into a position to be so successful that he "earns" a D1 scholarship. But, I repeat, coaching is NOT "creating" D1 "TALENT."

What I hate to see is a School with those kind of Athletes, but they refuse to see the COACH is what is keeping them from winning championships. Some COACHES have no business coaching the caliber of athletes they are blessed with.

You are spot on. many, many coaches with the aptitude and the attitude to coach a State Championship Team, just not blessed with the DUDES!!

That might be an understatement. I'm not taking anything away from WT, because he is a heck of a good coach.

No argument here, I think they should play where they are zoned in multi-school Districts.

Thank you for the information, now what is you opinion?

That is a District decision, not a UIL decision.

All i can say is wow!!!

Maybe so, but it doesn't look good for the Athletic Coordinator/Head Football Coach at Sterling to live in Barbers Hill and his kids not go to GCCISD Schools.

No truer words have ever been spoken. You have to have at least one "GO DADDY' to win State Championships, preferably 2 or 3. "GO DADDY" is East Texas for transcendent athlete.

You are correct Sir, it is far and way the best location for the games. The experience is like no other.

I would say the District is solid and consistent and occasionally has the fire power to make a deep run, whether it be BC, WOS, Silsbee or LCM. Any news on the Football applicant list?

Besides the fact the Miles is very LOYAL, why is this a hard choice? I would think the positives of Coldspring would far outweigh the negatives.

Tempting or a "Done Deal."

We all like $$$$$$$. I'm not pushing, i just think he would be great hire for Coldspring. He should definitely do what is best for him and his family. I feel sorry for him in Shepherd, the turnover rate is incredible.
