Well, you hire the coach, not the offense!

You say that but with how kids transfer at the drop of a hat these days, hiring a coach based on his kid playing at the local university is not a sound way to hire.

Same could be said of any coach that wanted to move to a bigger school. 
Jenkins had a son that will be playing at Lamar, being at a school closer would have been ideal for him, I wouldn’t have seen him moving anytime soon. 

My thoughts too. Actually qualified to be a potential AD/HFC in my opinion 

What exactly are you implying? That Jenkins was a “no go” because he was bringing in a QB like Sanders at Colorado?  

Uhhhh the community wants wins and a coach who will put the kids in the best position to win. I didn't know positions were locked in regardless of who coaches especially after a not so good season.
That's an absurd excuse there 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He has a son that is a going to be a freshman and is a QB. OF already has starting QB that started as a freshman last year. If they bring him in you know he would want his kid to be the QB. That would not sit well with the community because the freshman starter is very well liked by the players and community. OF community is very tight knitted. That’s probably a big reason they shied away from him.

Actually there is on this page, that even you commented on 🤦🏻‍♂️. Plus on the local FB sports page… 

They would go 6-4 regardless of offense with that schedule and district.  Lots of bold statements here that mean nothing.  By all accounts, this guy is a good coach. 

In bold: hmmmm......did not know that tidbit. 

Jenkins is a good coach but has been in 3 places in 6 years. Need someone that wants to stick around, not just pull chocks whenever he feels like it.

Probably easier to achieve at gilmer harmony too. I'd say that's a decent pool of athletes they're consistently good mainly even before him

I do agree with you on the job Jenkins did at Harmony but that doesn’t mean the new OF coach that they are hiring will not be successful. You could probably see Breaux sticking around OF longer than Jenkins. No reason to throw dirt on the grave of OF.

I hear there might be an opportunity there after tomorrow…home sweet home 

Or............  maybe they don't give a rats  buttocks about Franklin, like me.
  You don't see me getting angry about you not liking certain offenses but it really gets under your skin about what offenses I do or do not prefer. God gave us each our own  brain  so we could think for ourselves and  form our own ideals, a gift that should be appreciated and not taken for granted.  I was around your style of offensive play for about 15 years and at one time I loved it but now I don't. It's no big deal to me what you think.

This thread will be something to look back on if Orangefield goes spread & goes 6-4 or better in the regular season. 

Wrote down IN BOLD
 

3 winning seasons in a row, first time in school history. Has that ever been done at OF either?? What's your realistic expectations? "Can't win a Kentucky derby with a mule."

If its the guy Im thinkin of, believe he spent time at Mcneese & Henderson. Guy knows his stuff.

Yes

Jeff Breaux to be named AD Monday Night 

records are window dressing. you sell yourself with your plan (prep, process, vision, community building and relationship etc.)
Lot of great coaches with bad records, lots of bad coaches with good records as well. You try to find the ones "doing it the right way" for your best chance at success

Maybe personality traits and/or goals with ALL the sports come to play in the interviews

Give me a break.   They were co district champs 3 years ago and 6-4 the year after that.   They won 4 out of 7 district games last season and only two losses were by more than two scores (PNG and TC).  Two bad seasons doesn't mean the program has bottomed out.

I would think OF gets this right and goes with Jenkins. I would also expect an announcement would come soon. I would like to see the list of applicants.
