14.2 is my entertainment as I watch the phased evolution of his outlook.
Phase 1 - Doubting that the coach can walk and chew gum at the same time
Phase 2- Screw it we’re moving to Dayton this is BS
Phase 3 - Meet with Coach and he’s ….ok maybe we win 2 games
Phase 4- (current phase) Recruiting season begins and kids from around the state flock to Crosby.
Phase 5- (entering this phase) Practices begin everyone is huge, fast and better than any team in the past. We might just win 5 games
Phase 6- Beatdown from King lowers expectations, but King is the best team in the country so who knows
Phase 7 - plays well against FBM …. We may just make it to state …hell yeah

Phase 8- (Final Phase) beats Lee to death then gets embarrassed by BH at home. 14.2 exits the board till playoffs.

And I saw where Squirrel Williams was back in C-Town as the RB coach. That's gotta be kinda cool for everyone. 

Brady Barrier will be a sophomore at Rusk HS and will play football. His father is Coach Ned Barrier and will coach on the offensive side.  I am Nathan Barrier (Pap), Ned's father and Brady's grandfather.  I began coaching in 1971 and am retired.  I encourage Rusk fans to buckle up & hold on tight.   

Yes Dayton lost a lot, but that had one in the stable rehabbing from a pretty rough injury most of last year. Ashanti Allen Jr. Remember the name. 

Yes, the guy who righted the ship as it was sinking. A few alumni hires to fill out the staff at the last minute, and BAM, the new coach is a genius. I'm sure he recommended the alumni who were hired. 

Ha right I can see wanting to follow around to play. That is cool and a big congrats,  but his slot value is far from retirement values.  My gut is the talent just graduated and the writing is on the wall though.  The girl that graduated last year that is going juco is probably the best player tI come through there right?

Seriously though, local HS sports coverage in our area will suffer due to losing your coverage. We all truly appreciate the dedication you've shown over the years and we are excited for this new opportunity for you. Hopefully the next gen is ready to step up and grab the torch. If this site has taught me one thing in the past year or so, its' this, you don't know what you've got til it's gone.

I mean they kind of are...nine state titles in fifteen seasons would qualify as being the Gods of 4A football IMO

This is a "non-discussion". Carthage will win the next 3 Championships. Give them the trophies now. They will not lose with what they have in the school for the next three years. 

LOL. Clown!

Or how their kids act at school/practice. 

So your argument is your son played D3 and another son walked on at UIW because their high school coaches didn't do enough to promote them? I swear, some of you guys clearly don't understand how special a talent has to be to sign a D1 scholarship for football. 

If I was Coach Willis, I'd tell this guy to pound sand, screen shot all these DA posts from this site, and tell him to take it up with the UIL.

It's hard for me to believe that someone looks at the WH football program and thinks, "that's where I need to go to build my name". 
Taylor did as good with them as anybody could, and his upward progression was Colmesneil. 

Ex: I just talked to him for about an hour to see if I could clean PAPF and I told him I don't think Crosby will make the playoffs or be very successful in the offensive system he runs.
Lmao!!!

Ummm, what you just explained about the NC QB is a violation of UIL rules and could cause NC to have to forfeit those wins if it can be confirmed. I hate to break it to you, but "believing in yourself" only gets you so far. Learning how to fight through adversity, compete no matter the circumstances, and adapt to a changing environment is what will help the kid actually succeed in life beyond football. I know the kid your talking about, and he's not D1 material and certainly not pro material. So what has his dad really gained him by teaching him to run away from adversity and take the path of least resistance? 

The main problem is, many parents can't see that their kid is not college football material and they are dumbfounded when their child doesn't get a scholarship. It's not always a "lack of promotion by coaches" issue, it's a "my kid isn't good enough" problem.

When the coaching staff was meeting at the beginning of the season and contemplating expectations for the team with a freshman QB, they were not thinking "9 wins and 2nd round" and neither would any coach in Texas. They most certainly were not thinking "we can win 5 games with our backup LG at QB". 
In fact., if someone told them "you will win 9 games with a freshman QB" they would have likely went and had a party. 

Never said he couldn't be a great player. I agree he has great potential. But let's don't get ahead of ourselves. I don't think its fair to him and all involved  to label him great.
Of course, one's definition of great differs from others.

You are also savvy enough to know he was a standout player as a Freshman, with the potential to develop into a great player. That is all anyone is saying here. Any illusions that he is the next coming of Matthew Stafford are exaggerations being made by those who clearly are rooting for the kid to fail (not referring to you). Kinda pathetic if you ask me. 

"Daddy ball" dont put up the numbers that the Barrier kid put up. EVERY coach that reads this fully understands what the kid has done and that he is a great player.
