How many coaches does Breaux get to bring with him?
How many must he retain?
How good are the ones he will be forced to retain?
How good are the coaches he is going to be able to attract to Orangefield?
- KF89 and Mr. Buddy Garrity

I figured most Athletic Directors in our area are also Head Football Coaches, so I'm looking for their comments. Do girls in your Athletic Program have a scheduled time and days to be in the weight room? Shocked when this came up in discussion at a friend's house and young lady who plays several sports at a local high school said she has never been in the weight room with any of the teams she plays on or in her off-season. To me I think it is very important that they get the same opportunities as the boys (which I'll bet the house they are in the weight room). Not looking for names or schools just trying to educate a old school guy here. Thanks
All Athletes, male or female, benefit from proper strength training.
If the Athletic Director is not making sure ALL Athletes are being properly trained in the area of functional strength then they are doing a disservice to the athletes.

Lots of teams wear white gloves at home and dark gloves on the road, it's very normal.

Buchanan at Aledo did and Surratt at Carthage did. So it’s not inconceivable.
Exactly
I'm obviously not the voice of all coaches, but the opportunity to build something sustainable is the greatest measure of a coach. Winning one is impressive. But, creating a long-term, winning culture that wins consistently and has the opportunity to win multiple State Championships is what all coaches want. The opportunity to stay in one place and CREATE a program that others are measured against is what it's all about.

That kid already a Soph?! I'm officially old.
Yes, yes we are.
He's not bad. He's got a whole lot of his DAD in him. He will definitely let you know about it when he does something right,

Which place?
FWIW, Randy Rowe is on staff at Coldspring Oakhurst and his son is a Sophomore QB that started 4 or 5 games this year.

Yep bc we could not beat those pesky cross town rivals Shepherd pirates @89Falcon. We lost this year 3-0 Diboll. Could have been a similar scenario this year
Who was the guy who picked Coldspring to win the District Championship?

You know how rumors are. May not be a single bit of truth to it. Could be some ole dude running his mouth while he was eating a bowl of gumbo. With Orangefield expected to stay down in the district they are in, I would think he would want to stay on. He has the athletes to be a playoff team every year in that district.
Yes, unless expectations have gotten out of hand in Orangefield I don't see any reason to leave.

Heard rumor today that Smalley was heading back to his roots at Bridge City at the conclusion of this season / semester. Don’t know whether that is true or not..everyone knows how rumors are. Either way , I think he makes them wait another week. Give me Orangefield in this one.
Smalley???

In an effort to get some discussion going again, here is what I got for 2023 3AD1 predictions:
District 9
1. Coldspring 2. Westwood 3. Diboll 4. Woodville 5. Shepherd 6. Crockett 7. Huntington
District 10
1. Anahuac 2. East Chambers 3. Orangefield 4. Buna 5. Kirbyville 6. Hardin 7. Tarkington
I can guarantee you your District 9 prediction will be wrong.

Reyes headed back to Nac?
I don't think so.
Hearing Nac is in on a SETX head coach though.

Is he still up at Kirbyville helping out?
Kirbyville is looking for an Offensive Coordinator, so I assume Larry is no longer there.
Would be a good spot for a guy like Larry.

Verbal or on paper....... You guys need to understand that when a D1 has this type of interest in a kid at 15 years old, they believe he will develop into quite the trigger man. And we're not talking about one university. We are talking about 12 who are looking at him hard and heavy. Lets all remember that our opinions don't carry near the weight as those who are doing the recruiting.
All offers at this point are verbal.

Yes, I understand your point. But, we are talking about major D1 universities that are ready to award him a scholarship to play for their program and we keyboard masters are saying he cant do the same for a highschool in the area? No matter the classification, the kid was AWARDED A SCHOLARSHIP to play college football. Let's try to make sense guys.
Hasn't been "awarded" anything.
Verbal offers are non binding and may not be committable when the time comes.

Orangefield was a 7-4 playoff team in 4A last year, Anahuac went 9-3 last year and is on the rise in pretty much every sport, and East Chambers is always good. Kirbyville was mediocre last year, but seems to be coming up. Buna was bad and Hardin was worse, but half the district will be pretty good. Regardless of what you think of the district, Tarkington was by far the worst team in the district last season, and they were a long way from even stepping over the bar to next to worst. 6 of the 9 teams Tarkington played last season (0-9, 0-6) are on their schedule this year, and only one of their nine losses was by less than 30. The only game that I can look at on this schedule and think they may have some realistic shot at winning is Hardin. I think a great season is 2-8 and the majority of the 8 losses being by less than 30 points.
I'm not going to put a number to the wins and loses, but the biggest hurdle that faces the new coach is developing toughness, mentally and physically.
Especially if he going to run the double wing. Tarkington has been in some form of the spread for 3 years now and the results have not been stellar, but the one thing they have lacked since Stan Howard left is toughness.

More importantly, Tarkington is getting a coach that'll stay. Taylor is past his resume chaser days.. it'll be good for them to have a consistent face at the helm if they let him.
Taylor is a good coach and a good dude, he will definitely get the most out of those kids if they will let him.
He will bring a level of toughness to Tarkington that has been missing for a while. It make take a while, but.......

Selfish... we see it starting early for those student athletes with above average talent. Then the transfer portal, then demanding a trade. I'd bet it's the $$$ the family sees in their Lil Johnny Powerball. Not the coach who can mold a man from a lump of teenager. Whatever happened to honoring a commitment to a school, coach, or team? Nope, everyone for themselves now days. I wonder how many UIL transfers for solo sports like golf or tennis?
None for golf and tennis, because you see talent in those sports at a very early age and the parents just move to Highland Park or wherever before those kids get to high school.
Football, basketball and baseball talent does not show up for certain until 8th grade and by then it is too late for some to move and play Varsity as a freshman.
Is Crueder the guy?

It is pretty funny to listen to people talk about scheme and how important it is.
If you have the athletes, any scheme can be successful.
The key is not the scheme, but rather the ability to coach it, make adjustments and the ability of play callers. Every scheme has the ability to run the ball and the opportunity to throw it. Really, it is all about the ability and willingness to call the plays and when to call them. Plenty of pass plays in the wing-t and slot-t playbooks. Coaching matters, but if you don't have the DUDES......
