Last I heard there was a plan in place to start it and build it from the lower levels.

So we’re judging coaches straight up on wins and losses, with no consideration of the jobs they have taken and what those jobs looked like before or after? Taylor took Liberty and Hardin to the third round. I am asking here because I don’t know, have either of those schools sniffed any level of success like that without him. Just seems real silly to look and wins and loses only with 0 context. Did they play a legit non district schedule or were they just trying to stack wins? Were they in an extremely tough district or did they get an easier draw? What is the history of the program before and after them?

I’m an Onalaska guy, and worked with several Tark guys, since we don’t have a team ( yet) they have always been on of the teams I’ve followed. What does being serious look like to you that they aren’t doing?

Well they have made the football playoffs 4 times in 70 years… 15 and 16 got in because of a 5 team district and had losing records both years… how much worse does it get if you try something new?

Any live updates from the board meeting?

Heard at church final two have been on campus and may or may not be at the board meeting tomorrow.

Bolder move than they were ever going to be willing to make. Would have been a ton of questions about, what does this mean for football? Or what about football? Current admin was never going to be willing to stand up to that.

My source says he heard secondhand from one of the candidates that they are down to 2. No internal candidates made the top 6. Wouldn’t give a name but an assistant From a successful 6a is all I could get.

Have a friend I work with over in Livingston, Tarkington guy usually has all the information. They are keeping this one real close to the vest. Not much information coming out.

Round 1 interviews Monday , from a guy getting an interview.

Goodrich pursuing other opportunities outside of coaching is what word around our area is. Spurger coach is retiring.

BH pays extremely well and Pennington has been there a while. I think Pennington was there ten plus years. But when he got it he was the third coach in maybe three years? He also came from Hooks which is a 3a and the previous guy was from Canadian ( I think) which is 2 or 3a. My prediction is this time around expect a highly successful coach from a 5a/6a. I think it’ll be someone with a ring or someone who got real close.

Better if the Beaumont schools stay down.

Other teams have tried slowing them down all year, how did that work out? Westwood is a fastball, curveball, knuckleball hitting team. Not a whole lot is going to work against them.

Beat two time defending state champion Hitchcock playing that way last year, beat Westwood earlier this year doing it. They played Westwood closer than anyone else has since December tonight doing it. Go down throwing your fastball, not trying to be something you aren’t.

Extremely athletic Fairfield group. Came up just short against Yoakum in football and it’s almost all the same kids.

Heck of a win by Orangefield, Fairfield gave them everything they had and Orangefield kept answering the bell.

Orangefield players not happy with officiating at all.

I like Orangefield, but closer than 15

Fairfield wins at the buzzer 38-36 I believe the final was.

6:30 per Fairfield ISD

Stafford in round 3 would be an absolute tough matchup

Unfortunately I don’t think so

My whole point is New Caney pays some of the higher salaries of head coaches in the entire Houston area. Neither offensive or defensive coordinator has to teach class. The facilities are top notch both at the stadium and at West Fork High School. There is nothing wrong with promoting form within, however when you’re getting coaches that have the resume of a guy like Cope and I’m sure they got several other good ones I can definitely understand going in a different direction. If you’re going to fund your programs that well and provide all those resources it’s your responsibility to hire the best coach, not hire someone out of loyalty because you feel like you have to do that. Not a shot at any of the Mcdouglads who are great football coaches and people.

Dougald McDougald retired. His son had no head coaching experience to my knowledge. Really can’t compare his sons resume to Cope’s
