    oldschool2 got a reaction from bullets13 in DuBois named Vidor new AD/Head Football Coach   
    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.

    I'm not sure what it is about posters on this site not being able to read posts in their entirety.  Graduation of impact players..... Reclassification..... those are two DIFFERENT factors that CAN significantly change a school's success from one year to another.  When BOTH happen together, it can be especially detrimental.
    Now.. I can't explain simpler than that.  If you still don't understand, then I don't know...

    Imagine thinking you can predict the success of a high school football team based on the previous 5 years.  Literally 5 groups of seniors gone and 2 and a half potential classification changes. Not to mention move ins, possible injuries, coaching changes, etc..
    This is hilarious.  I'm patiently waiting for the conversation to turn to who has a better personality based on astrological sign. 
    This has, "we're gonna be good because we won a state title in the 80s" vibes all over it.

    Well done, gents.  Being the best at scoring the least is still the best at something.
    Silver lining.

    It's hilarious to me.  The Orangefield Coach/Team was emphatically congratulated on the season they had... while running the Slot-T.  Coincidentally, the predicted front runner and spread team of the district (Anahuac).. had their season ended by eventual state champ and another Slot-T team (Franklin).
    It's almost as if people don't realize the irony.

    I was being facetious.  Coincidentally.. I like the Slot-T.  I also like the spread.. and I like most offensive schemes when ran successfully.  None of them are designed to fail.  No coach says, "We're going to run this offense.. and hope for a few yards or even getting back to the line of scrimmage.  And if not, we'll just punt and try again next drive."  They're all designed to lead into substantial gains.. Having said that, the slot-t isn't good for playing catchup.  So when you need quick scores or to make up ground, it's not good.  But, the slot-t wins state titles every year.  Hard to say it isn't effective.  I like to think coaches do what they feel puts the team in the best situation to win games based on either their personnel or knowledge.
