    Secondary didn't play all that bad.png had a couple outstanding catches.besides the 2 blown coverage with a couple new kids I thought they were fine.the yung LBS has to grow up real quick.they didn't read well at all early on.and was out of position alot. But got better as the scrimmage went along.

    This is the most impressive run on sentence ever; very informative post though!

    Scrimmages this week:

    West Hardin @ Colmesneil

    Grapeland @ Cushing

    Lovelady @ Trinity

    Alpha-Omega @ Mt. Enterprise

    Tenaha/Kerens @ Joaquin

    Could not find a current schedule with scrimmages included for West Sabine or Overton.........

    Heard that Kerens had 21 out 9-12. That’s a shame. They had some solid teams not too terribly long ago

    If he did he wouldn't have wasted time coaching Mount Vernon. 

    Don’t think that 80K a year for 2 years in MV did much for him. I’m actually from MV and he took that job simply because some staunch Baylor alums there in MV roped him into it. I will certainly agree that there has been a complete lack of institutional control there at Baylor (Dave Bliss too) and I don’t think Briles will ever coach college again.

    ALL?

    I don't think BH or anyone has ever claimed or said that, ever. False narrative. 

    Complete change of subject, and I’m certainly not calling you out, but I swear the word “narrative” is the most trendy, overused word as of late.

    I've got a scenario for you.  And it involves speculation which we do a lot here, including me:  Say you were tasked with finding a football coach to bring a school a State Title.  Your reputation would be on the line and the possibility of getting fired if it never works out.  Between these two coaches, which would you hire:  Art Briles or Phil Danaher?

    Not even close; Briles all the way

    It could go really well, or it could go really bad.......

    I work at a bank, and TRUST ME when I say people that get money unearned become stupid.  I have watched people inherit $100K and in 6 months can't afford the insurance to the BMW they purchased. At 17, I guarantee you his financial goals are not in long term investments...... 

    Very true, but being from Southlake I’m sure his family is already very well off. I bet he’d be ok with the $

    I guess people forget about his very mediocre stint in Marble Falls?

    Nothing against the man personally but wasn't Cameron Yoe, Southlake  AND West Lake winning before he was there.  Oh, and hasn't Southlake and Cameron been successful since he left?

    I saw his starting salary around 180,000 with perks and incentives…..That was year 1 , his salary must have really jumped? Hope your right for his sake…

    At North Texas? No sir he was knocking on a million there. He may make close to $180,000 at Westlake, but head coaches at FBS (formerly D1) schools are very well compensated…even 10-12 years ago 

  9. Got his brains beat in for 4 years at North Texas while also still paying into TRS (at a nice little salary of $770,000 a year). Hence he’ll get 80% of that a year (roughly $53,000/month after taxes) as long as he lives! I’d say those beatings were certainly worth it!

    I wouldn't necessarily say it's not as important but rather more competitive with admin in the DFW than it is in SETX. They're in a situation in a lot of DFW schools where they have to build to compete with the Joneses in getting kids in.  A lot of SETX schools still have guys that "played back then" without anything like that and don't realize that facility upgrades are things that are important.  A lot of school personnel also only think it'll service football but it'll take care of other sports throughout the whole year. They preach they want what's best for the kids but it's all about convenience for them...it's an inconvenience to go and politic around the community to get those things done. Heck, there's even plans floating around for indoors that harvest rain water to be recycled for watering facilities so you can save the district money in the long haul.

    I'm surprised Katy hasn't started putting together indoor facilities for their schools.  I'm sure once they started doing that others would follow.

    Most DFW schools have them...not all. 

    If there's anywhere in Texas that schools need them the most I'd say SETX does. Y'all know as well as I do the weather in the fall is all over the place. 

    Exactly. I just don’t understand the hold up on more schools building them down here. Football is obviously a lot more important up there than it is down here.

    Yeah he has changed a lot of things so far at LCM. Also I’m hearing the turf bond will include a full size indoor football facility. 

    It’s about time someone other that B Hill got the ball rollin on an indoor facility here in Setx. First class indoor facilities are a dime a dozen up in DFW area; literally every school up there has one

    jay's a good coach.  he just has had std's for athletes at those two places.  when you have std's and not studs, you look you like you dont know what the hello you're doing, but in reality, you do.  why is this fact? because the same teams win, over and over in se texas, which is why its far more important to have the studs and not the std's.  ya dig homeboy ----and last i checked (evasmell has some kids that can go for 2a) - couple that with a garbage district and you have a winning season.  remember........all you have to do in se texas is make the playoffs and your local community thinks your the 2nd coming of the lord.

    The sign of a good coach...a coach that goes to a place that has never won before and starts to win at that place.

    A number of factors.

    While he left Evadale, my understanding is that he still desired to coach.  So with most positions becoming set in the immediate area, you take what is available.  Also, this is a reunion of Mark Williams with Laurence Williams, the current Kelly AD who also coached at Evadale (boys basketball) so there is that.

    Draw retirement and obviously get paid for working at Kelly as they are not affiliated with TRS
