Important question: Who cares who applied? The ones asking aren’t from Lumberton and whoever else applied didn’t get the job. 

I was curious before the hire was made. Now; it really doesn’t matter. We got our guy, and I can only hope that he’s “our guy” and not using this as a stepping stone. Can’t blame him if he does, but I’d like to see the program continue to progress 

I’m starting to think there aren’t any applicants 😬

Is it 2021 yet?

Well that is certainly up to opinion. 

Any names y’all want to give up? 

#8 for Carthage just made Gilmer defense look stupid lol

Tied at 14, we have a classic brewing again today. 

Nah I think Carthage is about to run away with it

Yep. I hear Mike McCarthy is looking for a new gig. 

I would pass on him 😂

🤭 My apologies, I was referring to the Lumberton HC opening. I had no idea, wasn’t tying to be an idiot on purpose. 🤦‍♂️

Honest mistake.. but like AAW said, he’s got a gig that money can’t buy now.

Congrats to all of them, but a special congratulations to Assistant Coach of the year: Coach Trahan! 🙏🏻

I know it’s a little off subject but didn’t Lumberton have 5A numbers then something happened and they were moved back down to 4A? 

UIL changed the cutoff so we fell back under to 4A. That probably won’t happen next time lol

I was just messing with you. I figured he was at least a part of the football program.

What about the hometown boy coaching a little north of town? You think he can do it?

Maybe so. It will almost have to be a hometown guy. Considering our past, talent level, pay rate, etc

Girls AD? Probably be better to hire your head baseball or basketball coach. 

He’s coached football as well for years. He might not even want it but i was just throwing it out there as probably the only person on staff that would be actually qualified. Other than that it would be first time head coaches. But, as I said, you gotta start somewhere

No argument there. 

Sad thing is it probably won’t happen.

That totally answers my question. Keep taking applications til you can fill the spot. 

More like keep adding onto that salary number until you can get someone to take the bait. Cause you and I both know we won’t get anybody “qualified” at our pay rate

Who would you say is qualified to be the HC/AD currently within the program?

Depends on your qualifications. If you want someone with previous experience and winning record then obviously nobody within the program.

But every HC has to start somewhere. And I don’t see us getting many big name applications.

Coach Hopson is the girls athletic director I believe, so I’m sure he has his name in the hat.

They want someone from the old system to keep their Rythm going. Someone who knows how it works and who won't cause too much paperwork for the administration because he wants to bring in his own staff. Going for the easiest transition.

That would make sense especially when you have a HC leave on good terms for personal reasons. Why go through years of restructuring and new coaching staff if you don’t have to

 The headline would be more accurate if it said “Team A allegedly calls Team B a name that Team B calls themselves all of the time. Riot ensued.”

Here’s the deal... we all appreciate good trash talk. If there’s a magic word that causes your opponent to lose focus and possibly even cause them to hurt themselves (unsportsmanlikes, DQs, etc.), why wouldn’t you use it?  It’s comical because it’s just a word and it has no power except the power that the “victim” gives the speaker. It’s a by product of teaching your kids that a word’s offensiveness can be determine by the color of the speaker’s skin. If the word was offensive, you’d be offended when ANYBODY used it. 

Maybe I’m just different, but I wanna beat the guy across from me, not call him something racially insensitive and make him lose his cool.

i get what your saying, if it’s that bad then people of neither color should use it. I agree 100%, but I’m not them. Only person I can control in the situation is myself.

He was my coach in middle school. I hate this! Too soon, too quick, can’t be real! 🙁

Same thing goes for whoever got their panties in a knot over my Agent Orange reference. 

I thought it was pretty funny 😂

I always thought the Lumberton Raiders had the best defense

Thank you!! I’m glad someone on here is actually smart

I really hope this isn’t the excuse that WOS will hang their hat on. Football is a team sport. It’s “next man up” when someone goes out. Missing players for Covid, grades, etc can happen to anyone. I’m sorry you didn’t have the depth to compete with China Spring. You got to give credit where credit is due! China Spring is the real deal either way and earned it.

It’s “next man up”, not “next 6 guys up”

there’s a big difference

Let's not start excuses. Even with the 8 kids out. There getting out coaches. They new all week these kids were out. U just can't throw kids in there that has never played on offense line bf and expect it to work.

So if you can’t expect it to work then how are they getting outcoached? Maybe WOS doing the best they can considering the circumstances
