AEIOU

Carthage will be R3.

In all fairness, there’s a bunch of coaches that don’t really know much.

The reason they cancelled the Friday meeting was because Tyler ISD and Briles' agent have not been able to come to an acceptable agreement yet!  (Grin)

Briles ain’t going to Lee man. The important townsfolk shot that idea down.

If Missouri State is smart you go with Petrino. Either way im wondering could they not find anyone better without baggage.....

Some would argue that if they were smart they wouldn’t go with either. That being said, kudos to them for believing in giving others a chance. 

Dang. ETx is loaded in 4A.. With three D1 pitchers I think Spring Hill will climb ladder. Their district games vs top ranked Kilgore will be fun.

You are right. 

Maud to Teague to Mesquite Poteet to Hull Daisetta to Mount Vernon to Winnsboro

Heck of a coach everywhere he has been, like Johnny Cash, he's been everywhere

Average stay is like two seasons........ that screams “lets get him”..

Finney's star got bright turning around Teague and then going to Hull Daisetta and got a couple of winning seasons. Kinda disappeared quickly after that because he couldn't sit still. Dude bounces around a lot...

Wasn’t Finney at Maud before Teague? Had a good run their with the three TCU commits.

Mic drop.  Next topic. 

Next topic? Maybe the original one. In the last 24 hours two NETX jobs opened up with more on the way. 

Gilmer is open now....... Wonder how many from SETX will be interested.

The conversation in question.. (the one I was in), was comparing Coach Briles to his predecessor implying that because Briles had won state titles previously that he was automatically a better coach.  But actually, no.   My opinion on what makes a good coach is someone that gets the most out of their players or more.  I think that wins/losses is a fraction of what makes someone good.  I personally think some of the best coaches to have ever lived have never won a championship.  It's easy to win with better players than the team you're playing against. 

Everyone’s intitled to their opinion.

Is that your measuring stick for what makes a good coach?

Is going further than Art Briles yours?

At Mount Vernon, the same number as Briles has.

Same can be said for everyone that’s been HC at MV......

I can tell, District 6 is a nightmare, especially with Longview, John Tyler, Lancaster, Red Oak, and Highland Park in the same district.

HP would just love to have to go to Tyler or Longview.

I see in 4a DII,  that they have Carthage in region II away from our local teams.  

In 5a DI, I see in region III, there are Houatin, Austin, AND San Antonio area teams...

6a, CE King with the Aldine schools?

And in 1-5a DI, there is a THREE team district?   WTH?

I still see Carthage in region 3..

But u had two Houston teams in it so sounds to me like Houston didnt show up. Here is my thoughts on it out of both areas people with no ties to any team more locals show up in Dallas then Houston

 

I agree with this as well. Random fans from across the state aren’t jumping up and down saying they get to go to Houston was watch the title games.

Travel purposes. (hence Tuesday school night travel)

 

In certain areas the travel is always going to be there (West Texas)

Looking at a few schools their football district has less travel than other district for hoops/spring sports.

Houston area schools always have to travel... give them a bone and let them get a major game in their back yard. 

It’s not just about the Houston schools. Your idea would have a West Texas/Panhandle team playing a Texarkana team in Houston.

Agreed... kinda wish they would use NRG and Alamodome for all Semi final games. But keep AT&T the Championship Venue.

That would be some serious traveling.

He's not big but surprised Courtney doesn't have any offers with his speed and agility. 

He would of dominated 2A for years had he stayed.

Numbers in football are a bigger deal then in basketball and any other sport. there are 33 positions to fill opposed to basketballs 5.
In basketball a team could play 7 games in a week (playing a tournament and a game on tuesday.  In football physically you can play 1 game a week.
And Yes, money plays a role, but the system is a fair system. 

33?
