You heard wrong. There is not some pushback. There is a lot of pushback. 🙂

Simply going to promote the DC?

And some mommy's and daddy's didn't think that was a good idea?

Because there were many more qualified candidates........

Heard a Texas college D2 OC (with Texas HS head coaching experience) is one of the finalist. Haven't confirmed, just heard a rumor. 

Maybe?

Div 3 you mean lol, doesn’t have any head coaching experience in Texas I heard so that’s a bad rumor

I'm not an authority and I certainly don't know the situation or any of the players involved.

I was just making a guess.

Sure don't know if there are any other more qualified applicants.

In my experience, the on staff candidate is usually the best candidate when the program has had recent success.

Considering Lumberton's history, the parents complaining about the promotion are probably wrong.

If it is who I think it is based on this information, Lumberton is gonna have a dumpster fire of an organization.. I hope I am wrong.

Being a college coach doesn’t make you more qualified, in fact, it would make you less, in my opinion. It’s completely different. In this case, “qualified,” would be someone who has shown loyalty and understanding of this level of football and what it takes to succeed in this area at said school. It seems, from an external point of view, that they are overlooking someone who is a great guy, great football mind, loves the school/kids, and is respected, in order to go for a more “flashy” hire. This is a slippery slope, and not valuing loyalty can create a revolving door and constant losing seasons. Even if someone comes in and does well, it will make the job a stepping stone—no assistant will ever think they can get it. Their last hire wasn’t flashy at the time, he was a 4A d2 coordinator with no HC experience, yet it worked. It’s no secret he inherited the most talented group L-town has seen in awhile, but it begs to question why the change in attitude. Perhaps success has got to certain people’s heads. Very odd

You are 100% spot on and all fronts.

Promoting loyal coaches who know the kids and community is the way to go.

Especially when the program has had recent success.

Continuity is highly underrated when you are talking about leadership in coaching.

The current DC in Lumberton is "head over heels" better for the school as a whole  than this ex college oc. He has community/player support and has a great football mind.  This former college coach I am thinking of will be an absolute disaster hire for Lumberton. The proof is in the resume of this guy. IYK who it is then you will agree with me. Again, I hope I am wrong.

I wish I knew who it was, but unfortunately I don't.

However, the connection with the kids and the community should trump "college experience" unless there is an obvious disparity in knowledge AND there is intimate knowledge of the coaches ability to connect with the kids and the community. 

If there isn't someone with first hand knowledge of the CHARACTER and LEADERSHIP ability of the "college guy" then they better do a deep dive into his background. Coaching Lumberton High School kids is nothing similar to coaching recruited college players.

    • Not yet, anyway. If you can't see that there has been a strong effort to create gender dysphoria amongst young folks AND try to keep it from parents in many instances, you're not paying attention. You may not care about this, but it's ridiculous to ridicule those that do. There is an agenda behind this, no doubt about it.

    • I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question.    Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID.  It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!” Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours.    What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals.    Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more! Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!   Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more!    It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”    
    • The problem our buddy @CardinalBacker has is that the Dems have been cheating Trump since before his inauguration.  There's 4 cheats going on right now against a private citizen.  But yet he wants us to believe that the 2020 election was squeaky clean.  No cheating what so ever.  That a brain dead individual got 81 million votes.  But the other guy that was supposed to be so bad got 74 million, the most any President ever got for reelection.  Evil people don't turn on and off their evil cheating ways.
