Will be interesting to see how this one shakes out. Top 4 could come in any order.

I suspect Circle pitched in this one. We will see if they can make the playoffs. Will be interesting.

Late night!

I will help you, "Allen had as much/more talent than any school in the state". And based upon your logic, Westerberg lost "elite status" as he was not able do any better than all of the previous "bad" coaches at BH.

Definitely impressive "without that QB". Just curious, do you suppose the single largest high school in the state had a significant access to talent? Or do you believe he won the title with average players?

Blame kids? It's not their fault. You should coach at a small school and report back on what happens when you have 20-25 players and "none" of them can run a 4-9 40 or weigh more than 220 pounds. Show everyone "how to win". Show everyone how to make those 5-0 40s catch a team full of 4-5 and 4-6s. Show everyone how to make a 200 OL with a 205 lb bench press move a 280 lb DL with a 300 lb bench press. You will be in high demand with your knowledge.

Have you ever coached? No coach can win without talent. I have seen coaches win 10+ games one year and win 1 game the next. Do they become "bad coaches" in the span of 6 months? No, they had less talented players. I have seen coaches have multiple losing seasons and then have a special group where they win (example: Deweyville 2011-2012). Were they bad coaches before and miraculously learn how to coach all of a sudden? In the case of Tarkington, there are no good groups coming through the pipeline.

Will be interesting to see how they do Friday. I suspect Carthage was expecting a win yesterday as was Hudson. Definitely not going to plan.

Yep, continuing to win every game with JD back will do that.

Upset the apple cart.

The transcript is right there for you to read. The majority of this thread has been surrounding claims that that "Tarkington is just like Stephenville, Carthage, Liberty Hill, etc." and "the only difference between those schools is that Tarkington has not got the right coach". The overwhelming point is that "every coach that Tarkington has had was not a bad coach". There are more factors in play than coaching. In particular, Tarkington does not have similar talent to the schools mentioned.

Maybe they already know who they intend to hire.

Tarkington kids may very well learn "what it means to be a man", that we be something the community can hang their hat on. But they will be losing in football due to "no talent".

For the folks who believe that "Tarkington has talent to win" and that "all they need is a good coach to win a State Title", please remember this prophesy 40 years from now: "Tarkington is/will be tragically slow and weak with no quantifiable football talent. They will never win a championship in football".

Agree 100%. It is a "wasteland" of "slow".

According to you, Tarkington has similar talent. For clarification: You believe Tarkington could have similar results "if they get the right coach"? the only thing holding Tarkington back is that "they have not got the right coach"? Is this correct?

Yes, "all the previous coaches had the same bad luck". And every coach that ever set foot in Tarkington was a "bad coach". Based on their horrible results? Because Tarkington has talent similar to Aledo, Carthage, and Stephenville?

Agree 100%. anyone who believes that talent in Tarkington is similar to Liberty Hill or Stephenville is living in a fantasy world. No one in Stephenville or Tarkington ever had a day in their life where they "saying the same thing" as Tarkington.

LOL

He was found guilty of "nothing".

I have seen them both intimately this year. Always felt Diboll had the better infield but I gave CH the edge elsewhere. Both can hit.

Thought this would be close. Cant believe CH was a no show.

Yep, we "missed the point". Posting should only comply with your rules.

Agreed, I dont understand why anyone would want to post their thoughts in a forum? Forums are not designed for posters to provide their thoughts an opinions.

Cry me a river.
