oldschool2 got a reaction from Mr. Thornton Melon in DuBois named Vidor new AD/Head Football Coach
You would literally run out of head coaches as they retire if they had to have experience as a HC. If some kind of stipulation per school district.. some schools would have to be willing to accept a HC with an extremely poor history of success due to small applicant pools. What if the only applicant with HC experience is 4-46? That's better than an applicant with coordinator experience on a state championship team?
Every coordinator.. every head coach.. every coach.. was a 1st timer once upon a time. Sometimes you gotta take a chance on it turning out ok.

oldschool2 got a reaction from whsalum in Orangefield HIRED Bryan Whitmire
As to his offensive and defensive strategy, Whitmire said he’s not locked in to one system. “I evaluate the talent we have and play them to their strengths.”
What a concept. I like him already..

oldschool2 got a reaction from RETIREDFAN1 in Coaches on the Move
I suppose anything's possible. I'll refrain from putting money on that, though.
Disclaimer: They'll probably be much better with the enrolling of his kid.. from what I hear.

oldschool2 got a reaction from Reagan in Coaches on the Move
I was once told that there are two types of coaches:
1. How you coach is more important than where you live.
2. Where you live is more important than how you coach.
I'm not certain that going from WH to Colmesneil is a career move.

Not a fan of this. Taking away the necessity of hitting the front end of a 1and1 potentially changes strategy. Just my opinion.

But 4 seeds still beat 1 seeds in football. Every year.
I'm not a fan of that many going either, but when a 4 beats a 1 it's justified. Even if very few times. It truly shows that some districts are just weaker/stronger than others. In all actuality, 3 beating 2 shouldn't technically happen either but it's extremely common.

Seriously? Have you not been on this forum long? I understand the game.. but this is the mecca of: number of unathletic kids per unrealistic parents, facilities were good enough for grandpa so they're good enough for me, can't work out during summers because (insert excuse), can't pay for experienced coaches but expect experienced coaches, then fire the coach because they didn't win a title by week 4.
You're really surprised? Welcome to the show.
By the way.. the players WILL likely get behind him. It's the experts that won't, if anyone.

oldschool2 got a reaction from KF89 in Nederland 2023
I remember reading/hearing that the kid led Hardin's 8th grade to a district championship in just about every sport. The same group being terrible... at best... before and after him.. Again, 2nd hand information. But if true, winning district for Hardin boys on any level can't be a small feat. I'm sure that's uncommon.
5A is definitely a different animal, though.

Not uncommon for good programs to hire within.

Same.
No chance they open this job up. Maybe because it's "required".. but someone from current staff gets this I bet.
