I watch the game on my iPad & post on my phone (not a big phone).  It took two attempts at every word, lol.  I love it when BB post, although how he does it is a mystery to me.  Tonight he must be at the dome, drinking cold beer, lol.

Fastest fingers west of the Mississippi my boy.

Tear in my beer for the Stros, we’ll get em today.

How deep is the pool at Lumberton … will this be another short lived run of success like 07-08 or do they have a pipeline of talent coming up?

Their run will probably last as long as that QB is there, guys like that aren't easy to replace. Just look at the downturn from LCM after losing their QB from last season.

Look at the Raiders beating up on almost everyone they play, some big blowouts and high point totals so far this season. It sure is fun to watch their wide open air raid style of play and salty defense, although a lot more fun when they aren't blasting your team. Congrats on the outright DC, when is the last time Lumberton had one of those?

The only thing I'll say different, is, knowing he had no experience, he decided to hire coordinators who had no experience. So now, we have the 3 head guys who have a combined 0 years of experience at their positions.

I for one was supporting the program and the new hire saying give him a chance. I never imagined such a spiraling meltdown. Here’s some key points.

1. The new hire was with the program under CT. He must not have been a very good learner. His plan was to change everything that works.
2. At this rate LCM will not be recruiting players. They will be voluntarily lining up.
3. The district has now invested millions into first rate facilities in support of a program that after not even a full season, is no longer first rate.
4. The program has dug a hole that will be difficult to dig out of.
5. I will not criticize Harris for what looks like a poor hire. It happens. How he handles it from this season forward will tell the tale. 
    

Didn’t the new guy receive a not so warm welcome from the community during his introduction. I can only imagine the level of vitriol headed his way if things do not improve and only get worse. There were a lot of people that wanted someone else, who was from the community and understood the tradition, maybe they were onto something. From an outside perspective, very little if any changes were needed to the actual game planning, offensive and defensive schemes to remain successful.

Congratulations! You all have gotten what you wanted! Change! You get rid of a coach and staff that did nothing but win!! None of you guys should be saying a word! You got what you wanted! In one year, the tradition and reputation of WOS football has been destroyed! Congratulations!!

They got change alright… upgraded the locker room and training facility, got a ‘coach who cares’. Big downgrade in the performance on the field, game plan and season record. A downturn from an experienced team with high expectations. What happens when they have a rebuilding year with a team full of underclassmen? Give the new guy more time to implement his changes across the program then watch the further decay and downward spiral. I say keep the change, change back to the old ball coach and his experienced assistants.

Vidor can take HH easily, they are not having a good year.

Finally… we owe them a couple of beatings. They have had our number the last few years.

If the "they" you are referring to in this statement is the coaches of an opposing team, you may need to brush up on the consequences that can occur if the UIL discovers that recruiting is going on. Coaches have received multi-year and lifetime suspensions, losing their career along with consequences for the school as a whole. 

Just an ongoing joke from me to the OP, I don’t have any evidence of wrongdoing or bring any accusations against anyone in particular. I like to mess with the guy because you see that program changing over there and I’m sure it will continue to change over the next few years. Just look at their basketball program, they have players from Orange, BC, Orangefield and even announce that during intros before the game. Call it what you want, I call it ‘cruitin’.

Letting clock run, but still running up to the line of scrimmage after breaking huddle.  SMH. 

Hurry up and wait.

On a plus note, WOS will forever more be used an exhibit in every debate from now on about which is more important… athletes or coaches. 
 

You might not be able to win the Kentucky derby with a mule, but about a dozen million dollar race horses lose the derby every year. 
 

They should have had enough sense to put an experienced guy in there. You can’t have your players confused running around like they don’t know what to do. WOS always had their stuff together on the field, a well oiled machine.

It was predicted by some folks last spring. Just goes to show who was really rooting for the kids and community vs the coach. And the stangs have played worse each week since the season started. That's what negative energy will get you 

Reading through the weekly comments on this board it sounds like the coach doesn’t know what he is doing. I don’t know the man but maybe he’s in over his head, is this his first head coaching job? It sounds like the players are confused by his schemes and playing lost out there. Maybe he has a horrible game plan or doesn’t know how to relay what he wants them to do on the field. Or worse, both.

There has been a vocal group for several years wanting to hire a person of color for the spot. It never really gained any traction until last year when a kid got kicked off of the team and the vocal group got a lot of outside help via the petition and a lot of social media attention. The super had already had his pick made clear before the job was posted, and the rest is History. 

It’s not a knock on the new coach or in any way based on his race. It just seemed like the super harnessed the race issue to hire a friend who just doesn’t seem to be in the same league as what was has had in the past.

But that’s just an outsider’s perspective.  

 

Ok was just reading some of the 1 year old comments on the petition. Kicked someone off the team and everybody got butthurt over it. Now they can lose but have a coach who is nice to all the players and wonder why they have no discipline. A coach who cares and no more chain gang defense, hell no defense at all sounds good to me.

He did retire on his own account but I assure that helped his decision tremendously 

Oh I see but what were the allegations against him?

Anybody recognize any names?

Pfft… that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Had no idea it went down like that in West Orange, just thought the old ball coach was retiring and moving on. What did he do hurt too many peoples feelings and make them work too hard? Demand respect and accountability, terrible.

The Pirates get a big win and played well tonight aside from all the penalties.

I noticed the Vidor QB was wearing number 4 tonight for his friend that got injured in the Lumberton game.
