I guess the talk I have been hearing was spot on.

From KBMT's Ashly Elam:

Vidor’s Jeff Mathews will not return as the school’s AD/Head Football Coach after deciding to make a career change.

Mathews first season leading the Pirates was in 1999. In that time Vidor advanced to the playoffs nine times and won two district titles.

Mathews career ends with a record of 117-124.

wish nothing but the best for coach mathews in his future endeavors. he definitely left vidor athletics better than when he took reigns of it.

im curious who they plan to bring in, a coach from outside or someone within the school district?

Man o man. The boo birds in Vidor will finally get what they want. I can't wait to see how this one will turn out.

Coach Mathews changed the lives of many young men throughout the years. He is a good coach and an even better person!

There is one coach on the staff that needs to be the next HC. He is well liked, has a great football mind, and would be a good HC.

But, would he be a good Athletic Director and is he even qualified for that job?

Going to work for BSN

Very qualified and would make a damn good AD. He has been a Vidor for awhile. 

[PhatMack19]

Wonder if they will stay with the slot T on the new hire

What I mean by qualified is most schools require a master's degree to be an Athletic Director. Just because one has tenure at a school doesn't mean he/she meets the required school's qualifications.

Again, he is very qualified.

Why not look for an outside hire? Vidor could do a lot with a different offense (and defense). I’d love to see it.

What different offense or defense would be a better fit for them than what they have been in?

Literally any offense. They don’t even run the slot T that well. And the belief that vidor kids “can’t” do a modern offense (a belief that Coach Matthews has shamelessly expressed in news interviews) is baseless. There is nothing different between the PNG / Nederland kids and the Vidor kids except that the Vidor kids’ coaches think the Vidor kids can’t learn how to throw a ball.

You must have saw different Vidor kids on the field than me. I think there is a significant difference in the speed and size of the PNG kids vs the Vidor kids. I agree they could learn to throw and catch, but are they going to out run people in open space or be able to block in the interior one on one being outsized?

yes

Curious:  Was this a voluntary or a forced departure?  

[bullets13]

I'm hearing that a certain SETXsports poster has held a one-man parade through the streets of vidor since this announcement was made.  Any truth to this?

maybe change the offense since they ran the slot t for over a decade but vidor has had great success with 3-4 defense under fletcher.

vidor would probably better suited as running a "multiple offense" imo.
