CRUSHCOACH

Newton better count their blessings that they didn’t consult with Reagan in the late 70’s, through the 80’s and 90’s.

In 1974 Newton won state, only to have Coach Lyndee Thompson leave to go to another school.   So they promote the offensive coordinator for the 1975 season.   It took Newton 23 years to win another state championship.  So according to Reagan, Curtis Barbay, the 8th all-time winningest coach in the state of Texas woulda been canned in the mid-80’s for not delivering a state title.
 
Other schools like Hampshire-Fannett has done what you advocate.   HF had UIL hall-of-fame coach Les Koenning, who is one of the most respected coaches in the state of Texas, all time, as their head coach.  In 1974, HF was #1 in the state.   They lose to #2 Newton (see above) in the 1st round of the playoffs.
In 1975, HF was #1 again, only to lose in the 4th round, to the eventual state runner-ups.    So in 2 years Les Koenning went 23-2, and people in the community were up in arms, and he didn’t get renewed.   HF has never sniffed that success again.
 
Winning a state title is much harder than you make it out to be.   Sometimes perspective is hard to come by and keep.  
 
Ask Randy Allen at Highland Park… he didn’t win a title at Brownwood, following Gordon Wood.   He also didn’t win one at Abilene Cooper.   Turns out he knows how to coach despite not winning a title.
 
Same with Phil Danaher and countless others.

Correct.  As I’ve always said on this board, it’s about the kids.  Err on the side of the kids.  Thanks for acknowledging!

Priceless quote from Coach Wilson after the game, "The boys in Orange are raised to play defense and we are going to show them that the girls in Orange are raised to play defense, too."
Cornel Thompson is smiling right now at the prospect of a Lady Chain Gang!

I suspect your happiness really worries him

I think tu is as talented as any team. I think the coach needs to grow up and be a coach and not a "buddy".

THIS!!!
Well said.
(except for the hook'em part)

Sorriest display of tackling I think I have ever seen, along with the play calling. Don't guess it really matters what play you call if the offensive line decides to take the day off though.
  Completely man handled by blow U

8 cases went in front of the state committee, 3 of the DEC decisions were overturned.  So if there was concrete evidence that the move was not for athletic purposes, this particular state committee would have been inclined to overturn it.
As to the Adam Coleman article, I'm not sure it paints Coach Terrell in the light that some earlier claimed.
Here is Adam's article:
This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up While it is correct that Coach Terrell did not comment after the ruling was made, he had plenty to say during the hearing as Coleman noted in the article and there was certainly a compelling case presented that Demas moved for athletic purposes.
1.  When Demas' family notified Terrell about the move, Terrell testified that he made efforts to help Demas academically but that the family fought them "every step of the way."  If a family is concerned about a student's academic record, they would gladly receive help.
2.  Demas' had a close relationship with Houston area trainer "Rischad Whitfield" a relationship that Coleman was well documented with Whitfield himself commenting that he a "liaison" for Demas and current Tomball quarterback Hunter Dunn.  Anytime I am on a committee and I hear of a transfer and a "liason".....yeah, I am gonna lean toward a move for athletic purposes.  Especially when there is testimony, as Coach Terrell did, of reports of this liaison "shopping" Demas and Dunn as a package deal to LSU, Mississippi and Oklahoma State.
3.  Demas' grandfather met with Tomball head coach Kevin Flanigan before the move.  Flanigan did confirm that the meeting was strictly about academics and campus life and not about the football team.  However, under questioning from one of the committee members, Demas' grandfather admitted he did not meet with the Tomball principal.  It is kind of telling that a member of the family who claims to be concerned about academic status would speak to the school's football coach and not school officials.
4.  And perhaps most telling, while the family is concerned about the academics at North Forest, only one of three Demas' brothers, Demond, transferred to Tomball.  Two younger brothers remained enrolled at North Forest.  That tends to put a big dent in the move for academic purposes argument.
5. Despite concern about Demas' academic status, he remained in the district for 2 1/2 of his first three years in North Forest.
After the problems that UIL went through with the AAU in basketball, it is quite easy to see why the UIL SEC ruled the way that it did.
It is not a "crybaby" coach that triggered this.
Perhaps, the best argument that the Demas family could have made was to show the SEC a copy of the 2019 Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine that has North Forest competing for the district title in 12-4A-I while Tomball will likely be left out of the playoffs out of 8-5A-I. But they attempted to focus on an issue that had more holes in it than a slice of swiss cheese.

That District is extremely tough ! I think 2 of the last 4 State Champions have come out of that district including last years Champ. Makes for a playoff ready team when you can count on having at least 6 very tough games during your District games.

Absolutely CRAZY to even begin to question this officers actions in this case. I would have shot him long before the officer did if I were in his shoes.

Have you even seen the video?  What actions could the officer have taken to “de-escalate” the situation? The guy changed course and walked straight at him with an effin machete.  He ignored about 8 verbal commands to drop it.  In all honesty, the officer let him get WAY too close trying to give him a chance to stop.  This officer was completely right to take this man’s life.  And you asking if the officer’s life was really in danger might be one of the most asinine things I’ve ever read on this site, which is truly saying something considering how active I used to be in the political forum.  

He's a dang good man !

Shane Buchele Transfering to SMU. Good for him
The ponies seemed like the best fit, No starting QB and he should have some talent around him , not to mention he’s back home , being from Arlington.
hope to see big things this year in Dallas 

The sec egos

Your daddy is obviously better than the second best team in your conference.   Which means Texas is better  than all the sniffers.  But obviously you guys are experts on the middle to bottom of the Big XII.  Sorry bout ‘em!

No they got dominated by your daddy.   And I’m quite sure you caught every play.  

i couldn't care any less about OU winning the whole thing, but it would be nice to see Bama eliminated. Almost had to eat your words. Funny how aggy tucks their tail and runs from a conference they couldn't win, then thumbs their nose at it while going to another conference they can't win, but somehow find an allegiance they never possessed in the Big XII. Hatred for Texas consumes all of you.....what a flag to bear. Keep admiring Bama instead of finding a way to beat them and you will always achieve the same success you had in the conference you now hate. Hate is such a motivator with pitiful results.

The kid wants to play QB and that ain't happening for him at THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS.

Poor decision making for one thing. As well as, you have got to hit open recievers down the field. And he has not done that on a consistant basis for the last 2 years. Now, alot of that has to do with his Offensive Coordinators play calling, no doubt. Personally, as far as a person I like Dak. He keeps his nose clean and you don't hear any bad things about him. But, if you're going to be the starting QB for the Cowboys you have to take care of business on the field !
  He reminds me alot of Danny White. He has the tools, but makes poor decisions at the wrong time. But, I will pull for him and the Cowboys every week regardless !

Trust me that is some crow I would definitely enjoy eating. And yes I know its Dak, but until he starts playing the way a Cowboy QB should play he is DUK to me.
