Oh crap lol

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Aint enough tea for me right now with all these "upsets"…… 

[Bulldog92]

Didn't see this coming. Dang...

I hear lots of mistakes, cramps, penalties, and turnovers for Navasota in this one.  Franklin's 7th grade offense is very good, as we saw last year, but I'm surprised at this one.  Losing to a 3-A school half their size!  Can they get it together next week for 5-A Mag West?

That's what happens when you run off a good coach. I'm from down there and the whole town was ticked that they ran off Fedora.

Sounds like someone needs to call Coach Fedora and apologize 

[Silsbee92]

I wouldn't count them out.  Its never an easy thing to change leadership.  Trust and faith have to be rebuilt.

I feel you Rattlers. 

[EnjoyLife]

Is this the biggest shocker of week 1 in the region?

[Rattler93]

There is much more behind the Fedora story....don't come with that "shouldn't have let go of Fedora crap".....it get's annoying when you try and put in your 2 cents and don't know half the stuff you're talking about. Coach Goodman is the AD and Head coach now....and we're going to support him.

Yea man. People on the outside looking in and think that the school board let him go for the hell of it. That is definitely not true.

Coaches coach, players make plays ! Sounds like little  old Franklin with their old fashion boring offense ran right through the Rattlers .I have seen Franklin play enough to know it wasn't their high power passing game that loosened up the defense . 38 points to a small 3a , better get things fixed in hurry .

For everyone that thinks coaching doesn't matter...Navasota getting what they deserve.

The biggest nagging question that I had about Navasota this season was the intangible of what happened last spring with Coach Fedora and how that reaction would carry over to this season.  I know we are only one game into the season, but I have to say that the performance of the Rattlers, particularly on defense where they were supposed to be particularly strong, has done nothing to keep that question from being a nagging one.  This is in no way meant to assail the abilities of Coach Goodman who by all accounts of people whose opinion I trust is a great coach and even better person.  However, I wonder if he has been left holding a bag of discontent.

Sure, nobody, especially those of us nestled near the Texas/Louisiana state line, will ever really know the entire story.  But unless the rest of the story includes criminal or unethical activity or a major shortfall in some other facet of the HC or AD position (none of which ever came to light as far as I know), should the rest of the story matter?  Yes, it was ultimately his decision to leave after finally being renewed but I think it is fair to say that the manner in which the renewal process went down would leave any coach to believe that they really weren't wanted.

All that said, it is probably a tad early to play Chicken Little and declare that the sky is falling.  The Rattlers will be alright.  However, that begs the question....Will Rattler fans be content with "alright."
