Raider24 Posted June 7, 2022 Report Posted June 7, 2022 Hardin got a good one. Fiery, passionate, energetic coach. Lumberton will miss him. Hardin kids will love him! Will be rooting for the Hornets. Quote
2wedge Posted June 7, 2022 Report Posted June 7, 2022 Here's the question: Will he be allowed to bring in his own staff and begin implementing his own program? Think about it, Hardin has not hired an unfamiliar coach since Tod Stark, and that lasted about half a season. Haynes has been hired twice and Barrier has family all over the school, both teachers and students. This has traditionally been Hardin's Achilles heel. Even when they have gotten promising coaches to take the job, the community, parents and school board can't get out of the way long enough to give the guy a chance. I saw this announcement on Twitter last night, and there is a ton of positive energy around Coach Smith from many txhsfb coaches throughout the state. This leads me to believe they may have gotten a real good one with this hire. Those in Hardin need to stand down for a couple of years and let him work. If you will let him bring his own staff and let him lay the foundations of a program from the 7th grade on up, you might just have a chance to improve your program. Only time will tell.... Quote

purpleeagle Posted June 7, 2022 Report Posted June 7, 2022 Best of luck to the new coach. Hopefully he can get the kids to buy into his system. Remembering several years back when a coach (Alvarez) came to Kirbyville from W. Sabine and turned that program around. I think it was Bear Bryant that said “winning isn’t everything but it beats the h... out of coming in second”. Reagan and Separation Scientist 2 Quote

Mr. Thornton Melon Posted June 7, 2022 Report Posted June 7, 2022 Uh ....oh........ the Lumberton coaching familia has infiltrated the hornets nest. 🙄 Keep your heads up Hornets Quote

Expand Dayton was in 2007, PNG was in 2008. So Hardin had it same year as Dayton in 2007 you say, good for Hardin ISD starting the trend early and investing early. Quote
