Cougar14.2

I heard the same thing this weekend but why did we have to get to this point before she decided to give in to a basic ask that any decent coach is going to have for his kids? You can tell she's feeling the pressure because she made sure the practice fields and game field information got out to the "correct" people. 

Not since Kevin Flannigan left has a Crosby football coach played politics. Riordan wouldn't let some kids play defense but that wasn't politics, that was his coaching philosophy. The GCM receiver is going to start and might be asked to play both ways, he's literally been force fed the ball during 7 on 7 this offseason (games his dad and I watched together). The reason they left is more basketball related, they didn't feel Haggerty was enough of a team player and basketball was important to them so they went to GCM. The older brother isn't the level of athlete at the younger brother  

Supt. went completely away from what was working. She made a desperation hire to keep the roof from caving in on her. Only way she knew to save face is to bring in a re-tread that people wouldn't try to remove her for. 
I agree though. I don't think Willis is a great fit and I think the game has passed him by to an extent. Crosby is kind of similar to TL in the sense that you have to keep kids "engaged" and he wasn't a great fit there. We had the opportunity to hire some legit needle-movers but the supt. doesn't know enough about athletics to be able to evaluate coaches and make an informed decision. Hiring a 60 year old guy kids couldn't care less about playing for is going to drop the participation rate down lower than it already is.
The stuff Coach P asked for that caused the supt. to ego trip is the same stuff a new coach is going to ask for soon as he gets here. Considering her son was a star receiver here it's baffling that she doesn't have the first clue about what's needed to keep your athletic programs competitive. 
Since we spent $20k on a coaching search committee instead of giving Coach P that money to fix the practice fields I'm pretty sure the applicant list will never be released. We had a guy from "the" West Texas school that wanted the job badly, we had maybe the hottest young coach on the SW side of town that wanted it, we had the guy at the closest school in proximity to Crosby High interested. Instead we go with grandpa who's probably just there to take the $140k for a few years to help his retirement and not make any waves. Smh, what a **** show 

Only difference is Crosby doesn't have the Hutchins Twins(Thomas Hutchins 5A player of the year), Myles Cheatum, an NFL caliber left tackle and average about 6'3" and 285lbs across the line of scrimmage. Other than that we're just like those Cedar Park teams. Aledo didn't blast Crosby because y'all were just unbelievable at the skill positions, it was because we couldn't compete at the line of scrimmage. We still have those issues. 

Spoken like someone who knows nothing about Crosby. The best that happened to Crosby was hiring Jeff Riordan. It was such a night and day difference between him and Flannigan. Young ~35 year old guy that elevated our participation rates made the game/practice fun for the kids instead of the old school way Flannigan went about it that turned kids off and had nothing but core kids coming out. Prieto was 36 when we hired him and he continue that trend. 
Most important thing is where they came from and what they won with though. Both offensive minded coaches which went hand in hand with your personnel that the Crosby community produces. Both coached in places where the talent was in the 65%-75% percentile and beat pretty much everyone they could when the talent gap wasn't too large. 
The hiring party's logic is that the community was incensed about losing the coach and the safe hire was someone that could mitigate questions on her intent getting rid of Coach P.  

All I can/will say is it wasn’t politics. P might have been one of the few coaches in Crosby history that didn’t do politics. 

You know how critical I am of questionable stuff and I'm here to tell you I would've been 1000% Prieto starting starting his son at QB as a freshman if Eudy didn't play. Kid is an absolute stud and would've broken every passing record at the school except for maybe Kellen Haynes single season yards record. Remember that freshman QB that touched us up in the A&M Consol. game, little Prieto had that level talent. 

All of the sudden  it's about "the kids".  The kids were being served well by the coach that got railroaded out of town.  That's where the concern should be.

RidinTheRange wants Crosby to get what they deserve every Friday night !! These are kids we are talking about, they don't deserve a post like that.The Cougars I know will give it their all.  

Get those PAPF’s ready if y’all are right. 

They had a guy already on staff that checked these boxes and was instrumental in developing the success that the Cougars have had lately.

I would’ve liked to see someone younger. He’s had tremendous success at CP but no where else. Someone 36-46 with enough piss and vinegar to get the kids up and buying in. Not a someone their pawpaw age. 

PNG about to party like it’s 1999🎉 Congrats to the Indians! There’s nothing like seeing your boys in Jerry World. It would make a huge statement around the state if y’all could win it.

I’m good whatever it is. Boys just rode four hours to play in the cold, wet rain and didn’t lay down. We’re 6-4, we’re supposed to get blown out. Y’all definitely ain’t state title quality and this is nothing like a “greatest team ever”. Not even being facetious, almost ever Manvel team we’ve played is better than this 

According to y’all it should’ve already been over though 

Coach needs to tell qb at half. Count to 2 and get rid of the ball. Had they only not been offside on the inside kick....probably would be leading now. Need to make one read and throw the ball in the second half. if no one open, throw it in the ground in the vicinity or out of bounds.

Dude, you can literally go post my entire feed in the political forum. I don’t give a flying bleep. You don’t think I knew people like you would go through it? I don’t care. You see I give it and take it every day on there. It’s nowhere near the denigration that’s the political forum on this site though. Forget a nerve, I must’ve hit your spinal cord a long time ago they way you’re obsessed with all that is me. 

Coach P gets to throw the kitchen sink this week. 
If you've watched Crosby before we always throw something at the defense that we haven't done before. I have a feeling it might be some two QB sets. Give them a look they will have never seen before and make the boys on the field have to figure it out. 
Unlike previous years we don't get to rev up in the playoffs we just have to hit the pedal and go. 
I expect if we win the flip we ask for the ball. 
I expect us to score on the first drive, we do a very good job of scripting that first drive. 
I think this game will all be about confidence. 
If the Lobos allow Crosby to get some early confidence then this will be a barn burner. However, there's also the possibility the Lobos just complete impose on Crosby. Crosby needs a fast start, and need to turn in into a shoot out because we are unlikely to be able to contain the Lobos running game
This feels worse than the Texas High game because we don't have the dynamic duo in the backfield this year nor do we have that defense this year. Crosby will have to play above their level of play this year and will have to score and not make mistakes. 
Crosby can score, we have excellent ability to mix, there is no singular point of focus that you can key on because we have 3 senior receivers that can make play, two runningbacks that can make plays, and probably the best TE we've had since like 08'. Z. George was the last time we had that kind of skill level at TE. 
Coach P has a little madness behind his play calling and offensive strategies in the playoffs. What other coach would have flipped their RB/WR in the playoffs? What other coach would have gone from 65% blitz rate against Texas High to less than 20% against FBM. I think we will have a great game plan and we have kids that believe they can beat Longview. Most teams don't think they can, Crosby legitimately thinks they'd be the 1 seed if they hadn't had so many injuries this year (it doesn't matter if that's true because the kids believe it.) 
That all being said the Lobos are a heavy heavy favorite. 
 

Alright man, only because I’m shallow though🤣 When you get bumped up to project manager we can discuss contracts and verify the second part of the claim🤙🏾
 

I agree. The material is a bit old and stagnant.

This is gonna be a tough one.  If any underdog can pull it off its Crosby.  

Nothing to lose! Coogs play your tails off because your not a typical 4 seed, so put it together and play with swagger. Goodluck
