Congrats to Coach! I think he’s going to revitalize the program. He’s done the exact opposite of what Willis did on his side of the ball. The last couple of years he’s taken the talent Crosby has produced and put together some very salty units. Numbers may not always reflect it due to how inept our offenses have been which kept them on short fields and constantly losing the time of possession battle. 
 

Don’t be surprised if you see him rob one of the coordinators from North Shore, CE King or Summer Creek or one of those guys in those “co” positions. That’s where Crosby being basically 15-20 minutes away from those schools gives us the same advantage it does with the transfers. Being from East Texas I’m sure Coach Williams has some connections out there too. 
 

My only hope would be that the administration supports him financially and gives him at minimum the same three years they gave Willis to show improvement. He’s only 36 years old and this will be his first head coaching job so I expect some growing pains having to cut his teeth at the highest level of high school football in the country while playing with the short stack. We hit big time on the last two coordinators we hired so here’s to hoping we go 3/3.

Big question ?/? Who do you think will be the Offensive coordinator this coming year ? Will the scheme revert back to a more spread offensive ? A new coordinator will have some returning talent on offense _ QB ,2 young RBs,both offensive tackles and 2 or 3 wrs.

Man, I didn’t want to mention it because I think this is a time to try to be positive but I’m extremely worried about our talent retention? I would hope the UIL didn’t do the most sensible thing and just add Crosby to the current 23-6A and add BH to the current 24-6A but if they did I could see Crosby struggling to retain some of our higher level kids. Prime example will be La’Damien DeFreeze lining up for North Shore in the state title game Saturday. Imagine him on the other side of Jordan this year? 
 

That being said, 6A is all about the trenches and all I would rate us is “above average” in 5A-D1. I would think we go back to a true spread to try to limit our disadvantage at the LOS. I think after Robison leaves next year you’ll see more read-option incorporated similar to schemes the previous two coaches ran. We have a couple kids coming who would fit the scheme perfectly. Who runs it, I think he’s going to try to make big hire knowing that’s his most important one? Coach Williams promoted Coach Harrison to DC and I kind of hope defense will be our calling card until we can compete physically on a consistent basis. 
 

You’re correct about the kids on offense though, even the big DT that started all 11 games was a freshman. I hope Coach Williams will get us back to looking like we have the talent college recruiters think we do.

I do hope we keep Dayton just for the old times sake.
