Gametime5

My post was not meant to go that deep, but the info is welcomed. I am sure Peveto & Luttrull are in the mix also if they applied. Theriot has a wealth of defensive knowledge learning from Larry Neuman, Delbert Spell & Randy Theriot. Speaking of Huckaby, he was my 7th & 8th grade football coach back in the mid 80's very intense, serious & positive dude.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, sir, and if that’s how you feel then that’s your right. I’m not trying to be argumentative with you for sure so please don’t read anything I’m posting here as an attempt to show you up at all.
 
However there are a few facts that would surround that. You are speaking of Chris Theriot. I believe they passed on him years ago when he was Ofield’s defensive coordinator under head coach Blake Morrison. When Morrison left, I think that’s when they brought in Huckaby or something like that. If Theriot is now the defensive coordinator at Nederland , I wouldn’t think that would be what Orangefield needs to continue with success. I believe Nederland’s defense was quite poor this year and they haven’t been the Mecca for success in football in a few years. In fact I don’t think any Nederland coach would have high stock now as a potential AD/HFB candidate.  
Being from Orangefield cannot be the only qualification…or maybe it will be..hopefully not. If it’s just about being a former player at Orangefield , why not Derek Peveto from Orangefield who is currently at Vidor coaching. He was a much better athlete than Theriot was and much better than Peevey. Again just basing this off the previous comment you stated about Theriot was a good player from Orangefield.  That’s probably debatable in football. Depends on who you ask. I’m sure his coaching friends on here will quickly come to his defense on that, and that’s fine as well. It would appear to me that Theriot has enough on his plate trying to improve his defense. Probably not the best time to give him the key to the city and full command of Orangefield.
Having “some” knowledge of Orangefield , although not an abundant knowledge or as much as others on here, I do believe they will indeed hire someone from Orangefield. It’s just kind of there way on the overall scale. Yes, Huckaby was an outsider. Smalley was from BC, that was close enough so I would think overall they will go with someone the superintendent knows and doesn’t feel challenged by. When you know someone, it tends to make people in charge feel more comfortable. Not the best tactic to take when hiring a coach , but the facts are that pretty much anyone you hire for that job is guaranteed a playoff spot for the next two years as I hear they are staying in that small district. Again, 4 teams go.  They will once again be the largest school in that district, and they will make the playoffs.
They have hardworking athletes out there who want to be successful. Hopefully Orangefield will bring in the best candidate and not someone a particular school board member went to school with as the only reason. There are some good assistant coaches out there in this area. One that comes to mind is a guy like Chad Lutcherall at PNG. (Probably missed the spelling on his name).  Will see how it plays out. 

I think they really need to find someone with no ties and a proof of winning. Not saying like Joesph. But get someone who knows nothing m.

Find someone with no ties to Orangefield 

The pass protection is horrible, they stand and turn a certain direction and don’t move their feet 🤦🏻‍♂️ The offensive coordinator needs to held accountable with this terrible play calling it’s been bad for years.

They also lost to East Chambers and Kirbyville… Then got beat 51-7 after losing to that team 19-7 earlier in the season. If that doesn’t tell you coaching problem and not getting better I don’t know what does.

I guess all of the “Bobcat Ball” in the off season didn’t translate to playoff success…

OF in trouble for being one of, if not the largest school in the district lol

A 3rd place finish and getting manhandled in the first round is not something to be happy about, especially when you’re the largest school in that particular district. Lots of questions going forward about whether or not Smalley leaves etc.  it’s a proud community with loyal fans and good kids. Hope for better days for the cats going forward. I believe they’re saying is “We Believe”….that wasn’t near enough tonight. 

embarrassing. 

Heard rumor today that Smalley was heading back to his roots at Bridge City at the conclusion of this season / semester. Don’t know whether that is true or not..everyone knows how rumors are. Either way , I think he makes them wait another week. Give me Orangefield in this one. 

Kirbyville will take first with the win over OF and EC. EC and Orangefield fighting for the second and third spot. Not really sure on the 4th spot with Buna win over Tarkington. 

Tip of the hat to Kirbyville. Humbling loss for the Bobcats.  Looks like Kirbyville really took it to them. Bobcats have another war next week. EC will come in ready to roll. 

If Kirbyville , even for one series,  lets their foot off the gas, they will lose. Ask Anahuac who got  up on Orangefield by two scores how that turned out. Kirbyville has a chance to do something that no one is this distinct has been able to do in almost two district seasons…beat Orangefield. But then again , Orangefield is the incumbent champion. I’d be shocked if they go quietly. Certainly more pressure on Ofield to win. Just comes with being the largest school in the district.  4th quarter should be interesting. Tip of the hat to Kirbyville so far. Finally, one of these district teams showed up to give the Bobcats a fight and wasnt riding simply on hype. EC next week for the Bobcats. You know they are going to come in fired up. 

Barbers Hill, man.  This is a special place. Top notch facilities , great coaches,  great community.  Very impressed. 

Fire that coach from WB now at halftime!

The Hill is for real!  52-17

QB Bearden is a tremendous athlete.

Bobcats by 14

Said it earlier in the year, and I’m saying it again….until someone proves that they can beat Orangefield in this district , I will pick the Bobcats everytime. This is still Kirbyville who lost to Anahuac, and we have seen the downfall of Anahuac in recent weeks in the district with three losses to (Ofield, EC, and Buna). Orangefield just continues to win. I think Kirbyville will play tough but not enough to secure the victory. 

To be the man you got to beat the man. 
KV has been a surprise this year but I'll take OF in a close one.

All that may be true, but they are not in the same league with Silsbee.

Should have never been that close with that much talent. If they allow this a few more season’s wos will become la marque.
