Always blaming the kids won't win you friends and influence people.  Tarkington just hasn't got the right coach yet.  Will they?  Maybe -- maybe not.  

Yes, Tarkington "just hasnt got the right coach yet" (for many decades), similar to "Huntington". FYI, Tarkington has a great coach now. You might want to look internally as opposed to blaming every coach in the history of Tarkington ISD. ***Who was the coach prior to Belt? Is he a good coach?

So what should be the course of action? Does the school just stay the course?

We’ve literally regressed since Taylor left for Hardin. We’ve gone from back to back 4 win seasons (which is a good year for Tarkington let’s be honest) to now winless again.

Tarkington been changing drivers for a while with similar results. Time to look at the car and crew chief. 
 

What is one positive thing that Tarkington can offer to a potential coach? Poor pay? The worst resources in 4A for the entire state of Texas? Talent deficit?

Fully aware that Tarkington is more “stepping stone” than “landing spot” at this point. Also agree that the “front office” needs to put a better foot forward.

Most coaches will not seek to be in an environment where they are not valued by the community. If they are not paid well and have the worst resources it lets a potential coach know where the district values lie.

Completely understand that. The district has not done well at making our school appealing at all.

I will say that if a coach can win here, and that doesn’t have to mean playoffs every year, he will have the community behind him. We have a strong fan base out here.

That was the first loss to Shepard in Jasper history. Maybe talent was down but I believe yall should have beat them. The talent couldn’t have dropped down that bad. 

Obviously it has. They completely handled the DAWGS. Sad but true.

I knew something was wrong with Jasper when they got shutout by BU at home. 

Bu is also 2 divisions above Jasper.

You dont "out talent" Shepherd at the moment. It will be worse next year, 18 JR starters will be returning for Shepherd.

That what I been saying. We should though.

Jasper played alot of underclass men as well this season. We should be better also.

I would like to point out to you one more thing my friend.

That same BU team that shut us out ALSO  recently beat the #1 seed Houston Madison in first round of playoffs.

Massey Ratings and DCTF had United the favorite to beat Madison. Massey had it 35-6 United.

Pretty much everyone had United winning that game. Stepp, Tepper. All the experts.

Madison doesn't make playoffs in United district. Probably finish 7th behind West Brook and Baytown Sterling.

Lol coming from yalls expert here at SETX.

What Longhorn Crazy says has got to be right(isn't that right AAU?)

Numbers never lie.  4th seed BU beat #1 seed Madison.

@Mr. Buddy Garrity since you liked what ya boy had to say(oh yeah ask him what his thoughts are about Silsbbe vs Belleville a couple seasons ago. Lol)

explain how your comment saying you knew something was wrong with Jasper when BU shut us out makes any reasonable sense.

[AggiesAreWe]

Those folks did have United winning the game.

But can't deny the fact that a #4 seed beat a #1 seed.

My main question is how Buddy knew something "was wrong with Jasper"  when We got shutout out by BU.?  I believe he was just hoping on board with what was being said. Cause he knows so much bout Jasper football he should know that scoring wasn't a specialty the DAWGS were good at. At this moment I dont exactly the pts total but I know even with the 57 against Tarkington it did not even make 200.  

Hoping to tidy up his football Iq before just spouting off things. ESPECIALLY  about Jasper football when I am around. He'll we all knew something was wrong with the DAWG by that point. SMH

I knew something was wrong with Jasper 4 years ago when they couldn't field a 7th grade team and the 8th grade team was losing to 7th grade teams.

There is also districts that Jasper would have made playoffs.
