I don't know who is being mentioned to replace Coach Ware, but I hope we shooting higher than 2-8. Maybe I'm misreading this topic. 

Or maybe you are misreading the coach being discussed. Inquiring minds want to know, and sounds like we will find out this evening!

Is it the East Texas guy? 

If it is the name I am hearing, a neighboring city will need to call in the national guard to fill sandbags to keep the tears from flooding half the city!!!!!

Don't sleep on the Falcons. Cautiously optimistic they will be much better than the previous two years!

Desirable?.... Not so sure.  Who is coming back from the past couple of seasons?  Lum has lost a lot.

Seems that way. They've had quite a bit of success lately and have great community support. I don't see why they wouldn't have planet of good applicants to choose from.

James Reyes has been hired to take the AD/HC position at Palestine.

Lumberton is open

Man, great move by Reyes and a bad situation for Lumberton. This should be a fairly desirable job for a coach who wants to step into a good situation.

Dude, I don't know a thing about Ware! 

I am commenting in GENERAL sense. Nothing specifically relating to Ware or Dayton at all. 

Sorry about the confusion! 

 

 

No prob. Easy to get wires crossed on these forums.

That can kill a program. Maybe 5% of the time the "buddy / insider" really is the best hire, but the vast majority of the time the insider is hired just because they are an insider, not the absolute best candidate. 

 

It's crazy to me that you guys lump Ware in with the group responsible for killing the program. If anything, he has been responsible for bringing them back to relevancy over the past couple of years.

McCracken is the Athletics and Fine Arts Director

Athletics and fine arts director? So is he the offical AD or is the Dayton job an AD/HC job?

Ware was hired as HC and to be promoted to AD when Nations  retired. Word on the street he has retired so I don't see any reason  why they wouldn't hire an AD/HC for the job opening. Dayton isn't  that rich although some EXXON money is starting to roll in. I have no inside info haven't lived there for 10 years  and getting ready to retire in the middle of the woods  west of Centerville- always a Bronco !.

I thought McCrackin was the AD at Dayton?

Give him a chance. Please. 

I will give him more than a chance; I'll root for him to succeed. But it will be hard not to root against the LLCA. lol 

It's going to be incredible when Orangefield shows up in their new Oopty Oop offense, and Coldsring wipes the floor with them running the hated Slot T. LOL

So when does Toby start? 

Any more news on this one. Any names?

Better interview? 

Jenkins and Prouse have done all the interviewing they will ever need to do with their on the field success. Like I've said before, I wish Breaux all the luck, but if he got this job simply because the LLCA dads in town want to run a more wide-open offense, then Orangefield may wish they could have this one back. 

Prouse and Jenkins on the list and they landed on Breaux. Interesting decision. I'll be curious to see how that works out for them. 

This was a shock for sure, but a decent majority of the folks in Dayton seem to be welcoming the change. I wasn't aware that Ware had worn out his welcome in the community, but apparently there is a contingent that wants to try and bring some of the hometown Bronco's back to run the program. Only thing I'll say on that topic is, be careful what you wish for Dayton.

Tell me you're not acting like gilmer harmony is an under .500 all time team like almost every other school in this area... wrong.

 

I also don't believe Gilmer harmony has a bunch of straight duds like portrayed neither.

The fact that you keep calling them "Gilmer Harmony" tells me all I need to know. Go look at the records, strikingly similar to Orangefield over the past several years. With the exception of the State Title appearance and deep playoff runs they've had in the last two years. Wonder what the difference was in those 2 years?

His Freshman son 6'3" 198, probably would have been the starting QB if he got the job. 

This is probably the primary reason the chirpers above didn't feel like he was a good "fit". Might get in Little Johnny's way of being the first air raid QB in the history of the Orangefield program. Either way, I do not know Coach Breaux, and I wish him the best of luck. I just can't get over the fact that a coach with state championship experience applied for the Orangefield job and didn't get it. That's probably the darndest thing I've ever heard on this site! If they'd do a little research, the reasons he has had so many job changes are understandable and clearly worked to advance his career. His oldest is heading to Lamar and his younger son is about to be a freshman. Sounds like a pretty good shot for, at least, a 4-year term. If he delivers to Orangefield in those 4 years what he has delivered in Harmony in his 2 years there, I promise you the candidates for the job next time would be significantly better than the list they had for this opening. But, hey, we gon' run da spread!!

Jeff Joseph to be named new HC at Nederland.

There are absolutely and unequivocally “not” better athletes at Harmony.

This. Tell me you don't know anything about TXHSFB without telling me you don't know anything about TXHSFB. Just because "Gilmer" is attached to Harmony doesn't mean Gilmer Harmony = Gilmer. Setxathlete14, you just outed yourself as one who truly has no idea.

Wrote down IN BOLD

 

I wish your son the best of luck in his new spread offense, but passing on Jenkins, who did what he did in Harmony in year 1, will be a legendary mistake in the coming years. Orangefield had a chance, but let the Little League Coaches of America get in the way of making a decision that could've advanced the program long term. They will reap what they've sown.
