  2. Liberty Hill vs. Crosby/ POST UPDATES HERE

    Congratulations to Liberty Hill, definitely played with emotion and a great plan. There offense is so unique it may be enough to win state next week. To Crosby, it hurts now but you had another outstanding year. You are putting your name in statewide contention with the Jaspers, Marts, La Vega s, Westfields, and the like. Have a great Christmas break and start working for next year👍🏻🐻✝️

    Marlin flubbed this away by poor management. Being an experienced playoff team AND coaching staff is so important. Hawley happily controlled the clock and had the ball 70 percent of the time even without their best running back who was hurt last week. When Marlin had the ball, their indoctrination to a 1 back pass happy scheme left them with no positive yards and maybe 14 plays in the first half. When they finally figured out in the second half that running in a straight line is the quickest way to the end zone , they dominated. BUT their most highly recruited player, #4 outside lber and versatile receiver Guillette a juinor who has been offered by Ohio St, A M, and Texas only touches the ball ONCE ( the ENTIRE game), you have to say as a fan “ What are y’all doing?”. Sorry for the rant, just my hometown and Ive coached enough to know how some teams coaches can take away a teams potential,  but it’s always low hanging fruit to blame it on those players— in a nice way if course. One day I will write how we destroyed 14.2’s senior year. That was easily the best defense I’ve been around— oh well Go Crosby-North Shore- Katy👍🏻🐻✝️ Would have been tough to beat Shiner, but nice to get there!

    A big part of the reason the coaches are "quality" when they're here is because of the talent. Another reason is because the administration gives them basically free reign over their staff. Flannigan learned how to coach talent while he was at Crosby but basically Jeff Fisher'd our offense and never really won the town over. He got run off after making the playoffs the last six consecutive years he was here and I think took some learnings to his next two stops relating to how that happened and avoiding it in the future. All in all though, even though he was a good upstanding Christian man he just wasn't very well liked. 

    Riordan to me was the easiest hire we've made. You just went and got the guy whose offense was responsible for beating Dayton in a state championship game. At the time we couldn't even beat Dayton in district play. I think he also had the fastest and smoothest transition. But again, he had an NFL running back among the other boatload of talent when he got here. The talent run from 2012-2017 under Rio was sick at Crosby. 

    We were broke and I believe we had a search committee that recommended us hiring Prieto? Similar premise to the Riordan hire though. Go find the best available offensive coordinator to fit the talent already on campus. CC Vets was down there lighting it up in the Coastal Bend under his guidance and Crosby is doing the same now. 

    You can't just go hire head coaches and expect similar results as their previous stops. You have no idea who the coach can bring with him/who wants to come with him? Lots of times those coordinators play a huge role in the HC's success. Crosby had a similar talent level to where our past couple of coaches came from. BH doesn't have a talent level comparable to any of the places their last three coaches came from. You also have to realize what you think is a "diamond" is based on your experiences and viewpoints. Someone like Willie Gaston, who I think is the hottest coordinator on Houston, probably isn't going to see job opportunities the way you do. 

    Lots of truth spoke here, coaching is like any other profession. 14 is correct in that 2 of the 3 good hires in Crosby were coordinators that came in with a new superintendent. New sup will VERY often hire someone new just for allegiance. This is no different in any profession. Years ago when GCM was getting ready to open, GCCISD athletic director went to Garland ISD to interview how they hired for a new football coach at a new school. Homer Jones, maybe Johnson was the most experienced AD, or one of the most experienced, in the state. He told Tom Ed that a new school needs to hire a successful, responsible, excitable coordinator. Many times superintendents will hire someone they know from their old district for loyalty and they are knowledgeable of their character. Sometimes there will be a true investigation with TRUE interviews, but rarely. VERY OFTEN THE SUP KNOWS THE HIRE BEFORE INTERVIEWS, or it could be someone an influential board member knows. The most important person in any football organization is the HEAD COACH, the second is the QUARTERBACK. Isn't high school playoff time great, not only football, but all sports. As far as head coaches, i BELIEVE the best head coaches have a background as a defensive coordinator (Saban and Bellicheck) becomes often offensive coordinators are PRETTY BOYS and have to run all their plays. Defensive coaches worry more about scoreboard. I have known some quality head coaches who have a background with offensive line, hogs are different beasts altogether.

    I noticed nobody in this thread has mentioned he made The Big 12 All-Academic team. I wonder why?

    I think this is important as it shows work off the field. Again I hope that he has solved any questions about his character and he achieves all that he desires. One thing we need to be careful of, INCLUDING ME, is to carefully judge that transfer portal. Just because someone is in it isn't an arrow against that person. If i was in his situation with TCU unknowing of coaching, I would probably go into the portal also.

    I can understand how you arrived at that conclusion.  A leader is a leader whether it’s the classroom, football or business.  Centuries ago (lol) when I was in the Army, we were being taught by three Sgts in a mundane class/subject.  Two put us all to sleep.  The third made it the most interesting thing possible.  Had the other two ask for volunteers to charge a fortified position, doubt there would’ve been any volunteers.  Had the third, most of us would’ve stepped forward.  To this day, and I’ve thought of it quite a few times, I’ve no idea why.  He just had “it”.

    Exactly, the “it” factor that true leaders have. You can describe it many ways because it’s different for a lot of leaders but it can be identified through the actions of the people beneath them . I could tell he had it. 👍🏻🐻✝️

    I can’t be the only person that thinks this guys a bust right? 

    No there are others including myself. He had lots of issues at the premiere or one of the premiere schools in Texas. Then you had the long recruiting of him and his decision. He may end up as the greatest running back in the NFL, and i hope he does well, BUT there is a lot of smoke with this young man. I thought he and the Demas wide receiver at A M from Forest Brook or Tomball or footwork king had common attributes. Great athletes not great team players, who were given tremendous value too early that went to their psychological profile. There are so many great athletes at d-1 college ( let alone the NFL which is what some in social media were guaranteeing about both) work ethic usually comes into play and I believe from what I’ve seen, read and heard from their coaches, that is their question mark, work ethic on and off the field.

    I know he was the head football coach, lost to Longview, I was at that game. But when i coached track I met him and was amazed at how many athletes were out for track which showed me he has the ability to attract athletes to sports which helps. I am an old school coach who grew up where everyone ran track, no questions, but currently, track (the most important football offseason workout) is one of the least participated in sport because 1) it is difficult 2) it takes gonads to have to race at track meets and NOT win. Only one winner and todays athletes will get their feelings hurt and rather not run than to get a trophy. I thought upon seeing the great turnout in track that he would also be successful in any sport as the head. The great football coaches are successful at other sports and also in the classroom. I have coached withy a lot of coaches who brag," I ain't worth a dang in the classroom, but boy I can coach football." WRONG, if your character is that weak that you abuse your role as a teacher you are not a good coach. The best coaches i have worked with in 3 and a half decades were also quality teachers.

    Congratulations Cougars, i too was expecting a little more breathing room in the score but I based it on watching the second half of the Barbers Hill game. A M has good coaching which will make such a big difference during nut cutting time. Crosby seems to be slowly entering the likes Katy, Aledo  and North shore consistency which leads to championship possibilities. I saw where Katy and North shore were constantly scrutinized on social media that they were going to be taken down because this or that by the new kids in town but they do what they do AGAIN. Also with Crosby the brutal non district schedule and brutal district schedule is paying dividends Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron👍🏻✝️🐻
