80 percent AD’s/Head football coaches don’t have a masters.. PNG head coach don’t, BC coach doesn’t, vidor coach doesn’t, HJ coach doesn’t, ex Nederland coach didn’t, pa coach doesn’t    so

I can see the Lumberton DC getting this job. Very well liked.

I like how he set a tough non district schedule for the next coach then left. 😂

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.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By oldschool2 · Posted

      Maybe.. however..  Many athletic director / head football coach have lost their job despite the athletic program as a whole being successful.. if the football team struggles.  On the other hand, when football teams are doing great but the rest of the program stinks.. AD/HFC still keeps their job. WOS.  Newton. .. programs as a whole were fairly weak during those many years of football power and very few people even knew it.  Or cared. Yet, AD/HFC kept their jobs for years. Meanwhile, I remember an AD/HFC at Barbers Hill lost his job after every program in the school won district championships and even had several team sports (baseball, softball, girls hoops, etc.) making runs at state.  But the football team was mediocre.  Fired. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that perception is reality.  And the perception is that your athletic program can suck as long as football wins.. it doesn't matter how strong the athletic program is if football sucks.

      It's only a matter of time before the baseball mafia starts greasing the tracks to run Crumedy out of town. It'll be a dang shame too, but mark my words.

      Conditioning should be done by the coach that they are IN SEASON with. This is a simple concept that's missed by so many. Way too many kids are overworked these days. I don't really care what was done 20, 30 or 40 years ago. We know more now and should do better. And maybe kids were more durable in the past, but they also had a great foundation of manual labor, etc. And lifting... done right, should be done all year round. Dayton's S&C coordinator is top notch when it comes to putting this together.
