Mr. Thornton Melon

It's not INTERSTATE 10 - VIDOR 0 anymore. Now it's INTERSTATE 10 - VIDOR 5 (and the fans are content with that)

Zero playoff wins after the drop.

Mathews was going to leave a few years back and DuBois was set to take over. That year Vidor found out they were dropping down to 4A so Mathews decided to stay because he thought he could make noise in a lower classification. Sadly DuBois gets handed the job

They aren't seeking an outsider then. LOL

[Hidden Content] Is the VISD website the only place this job is posted ? If so, then it's definitely an inside hire. Does anyone know if it's posted on the thsca.com ?

NO WAY Crueder is even being considered. He got booted from the OC position because he screwed up the offense soOoo bad and it still hasn't recovered. He did some good things at Lumberton for a couple years but he had some great players with Hannah , Beard & company. After those players graduated he was never successful again. DuBois had two good years in Vidor but he had some great players (EX: Montana Quirante & Company). He also had a few good years at HJ but he had some really good players and never emulated the success after they graduated. Mathews having a losing record and recommending other coaches with losing records is preposterous He's sabotaging the process if this is the case. He shouldn't have a say.

These would be perfect hires for Mathews. If he hired a good coach that had instant success with this program using a different offensive strategy ,then that would prove his philosophy was wrong all along. He knows what he's doing plus all the homeboy assistants get to keep their jobs. He was below .500 doing it his way. It's time for him let it go man, he had his chance and it didn't work.

I just wish Vidor would show the ability to think outside of the box for a change. They should at least try to see what outsiders they may attract.

DuBois ran the offense better but he also had Quirante

Why would you want someone in on the hiring process that doesn't believe in the kids ? I wish he would just stay out of it

Normally you wouldn't but this is Vidor we're talking about here

If Mathews is the AD through June then he would be in on the hiring process. He would only hire a sloT'er

DuBois as all suspected

I see on indeed that BISD is hiring a new Head Football Coach / Campus Athletic Coordinator . It doesn't state which grades

Since you have the word "Throw" in your screen name, I strongly encourage you to apply !

This threads title is misleading. It has nothing to do with the Vidor coaching job being open.😂

All signs this far lead to an inside hire or former Vidor OC. The reason for this assumption is that Mathews will keep his job until June and as stated ,he will be there to help the new coach with the acclimation . He also stated in a recent interview he will make at least one practice a week and be there for every game. A coach with a new system wouldn't need acclimation to his own system. Just an observation !

I remember Vidor beating him when he was at Channelview

Vidor was down and Lumberton was up. It was a one year thing

Vidor was in 22-5A with bmt west brook, bmt central (there was no Ozen to take their players) , deer park , Laporte, lee & sterling through 1998. His first year in 99' coincided with a drop in classification. Apples to oranges

Vidor was in 22-5A with Beaumont Central, Beaumont West Brook, Baytown Lee, Baytown Sterling, Deer Park & La Porte up until the year Mathews took over. It's a variable that's seldom overlooked

It doesn't hurt to try something different when the current system couldn't produce a .500 winning % or a single playoff victory after the drop to 4A.. There has been a lack of energy within the program ever since 2016

Vidors got to look for an outsider. No Slot-T, por favor. It's time for the program to evolve and this is their chance. It wouldn't hurt to change

Allstate 1st team defense released !!
