AggiesAreWe Posted January 20, 2023 Report Posted January 20, 2023 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. TheDonk and setxathlete14 2 Quote

2wedge Posted January 20, 2023 Report Posted January 20, 2023 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. setxathlete14 1 Quote
BigEnosBurdette Posted January 20, 2023 Report Posted January 20, 2023 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. PNGFaithful, VidorPirate, piratevillain and 3 others 6 Quote

Rez Posted January 20, 2023 Report Posted January 20, 2023 Why not look for an outside hire? Vidor could do a lot with a different offense (and defense). I’d love to see it. exsoftballplayer, piratevillain and Reagan 2 1 Quote
