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

This is pretty simple if you understand the culture in LH. The varsity staff works with all coaches at all levels, even into little league, to teach the Slot T offense. The varsity coaches have monthly meetings with the little league coaches and get scouting reports on players coming up through the program so when they get into the 7th grade, the coaches already know who is who and who plays where. It is taught the same way in the 4th grade as it is taught at the varsity level, so the kids understand it and want to operate in that offense. Any dads who think their kids are going to be division 1 receivers and QBs take their kids elsewhere so that the only ones who are left are the ones who are committed to thriving in the slot T. This is the product of consistency in program leadership for many many years and the commitment of that leadership to build a successful program from the bottom up. Therefore, to replicate what LIberty Hill has is absolutely impossible without long term commitment and community buy in. Vidor has/had too many folks always looking for a reason to run Matthews off and complaining about the Slot T to even begin to try to replicate what Liberty Hill has. 

So has Coach Izzy….

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? 

The way I see it is hire a guy that will make you a district champ and get you deep into the playoffs for 2 years attracts better coaching if he did leave in 2 years vs hiring the LLCA guy to throw the ball and go .500 on the season with a relatively easy schedule for the next 5 years. No good coaches are gonna want to come.

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. 

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.

Jeff Joseph to be named new HC at Nederland. 

The real issue with the transfer portal isn't the portal itself, it's the student athlete's addiction to the attention the recruiting cycle brings, and the portal gives them an avenue to scratch that itch. These kids are made into mega starts as youngsters, then they sign, and if they do not achieve stardom immediately, they retreat back to the process that made them feel like a star in the first place. It's really easy to get used to being the big man on campus when you are heralded in high school but takes another type of dude to realize that it takes serious hard work to gain BMOC status at the D1 level. 

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!!

Who is the next sacrificial lamb? 

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.

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.
