I don't blame you for feeling the way you do.  There are very few professions were people blames themselves for their failures.  Always looking for some one else to blame.  But as Bill Parcels once said, looking for someone to blame?  "Look at the man in the mirror."  I'd add along with that -- but do not look at the kids in the weight room.   Blaming the kids is to easy.  

As for as Jasper, you may be right about no success.  That's if they don't hire a good coach.  My advise -- stay away from home cooking.  Didn't work out to good for them this past time.  

Aside from this year it worked out ok at least in football...he took them to a regional final....they bottomed out this year but as young as they were its not surprising....

Step up!! Good luck coach

Nothing but respect for Coach Crum but man I was sure wanting to watch KJ on the field for the DAWGS...

Been sitting on this info for over a week now.

Good luck to Coach Crumedy.

 

I have heard that Malcom Bronson will get serious consideration for this job.

Hopefully since last Coach search he has obtained his masters

Makes sense.  I wonder if he was forced out?

My point is I don't know how many coaches turn their heads at the Travis job like they do the Jasper one.  That used to be one of the top jobs in the entire State of Texas.

Not forced out.

Being completely honest, after couple down seasons we maybe coming to a difficult time to be a Bulldogs fan era.  Hope I am completely wrong.

The biggest “headache” is “poor talent” in the current upper classes. 

Falcon, I am proud of you making that statement.

I tried telling people all throughout last season.

Thanks for the validation. I have been fortunate to see kids develop from Jr High through High school for multiple decades. Not sure about the number of kids but I believe it to be well into thousands. There is guaranteed 1000% proven fact that winning is about "Jimmies and Joes, not Xs and Os". In Jasper's case, I have actually "looked at them in the weightroom" and based upon that observation I am certain they will look like Jasper again after one more season, and it will not matter who they have for a coach. Although, everyone will all of a sudden proclaim the greatness of the new coach (similar to how they proclaimed Crumedy a few years ago, after Barbay was run out of town for bad coaching).

I can even think of another 4AD2 program in SETX where everyone wanted to fire the coach for a few years and they even thought that "little league coaches" knew more. After the coach that everyone wanted to fire, got a good group of talent in the upper classes they went to the State Championship game and the whole community then thought the coach had an epiphany and learned how to coach. 

 

1000%, nah.  That's your opinion.  You can have your own opinions but you can't have your own facts. 

Again, failing coaches need to "look at the man in the mirror" -- not in the weight room!   I know it's hard for people to blame themselves.  I've seen it everywhere.  It's easier to blame someone else -- like the kids!  Because ego is a son-of-a-gun!

My thought on home cooking is that it is done for sentimental reasons and not for the individuals overall resume.  My opinion is that 90-95% of the time it doesn't work out.  Unfortunately for Jasper, when the hire was made I knew it probably wasn't gonna work out, once I found out it was a home cooking hire.  Even questionable coaches have luck.  But as I always say about luck -- it usually runs out.

Looking forward to Warren beating Newton this year when they get a good coach.

Who says they gonna get a good coach?  They haven’t had a very good history of it.  That’s why you keep trying to find one.

Well, this is true.  That’s why you keep trying.  A school district either cares or they don’t.  Unfortunately maybe Warren is in the don’t care category.

If Warren gets a good coach, they should be able to beat Newton. As you indicated multiple times, winning has little to do with talent and primarily comes down to coaching. Speed, coordination and strength meaning very little. I was recently at an event and noticed how the Warren kids looked exactly like the Newton kids and that there is no reason for Warren to not compete with Newton. 

Still cant figure out why college coaches only recruit athletically dominant players? Seems like they could win with any group of players with good coaching.

What's that quote from future HOF and state champion coach Cornell Thompson once said?

"You can't win the Kentucky Derby with a mule".

I'll take a multiple state champion coach's word on the subject over anyone else.

 

Now, back to Jasper being open.

I agree with that to a point. As I’ve preached my opinion on here many times, it’s a combination of coaches, kids & community support. Really gotta have all 3 if you want continued success.

You gotta have a good horse and not a mule for sure. But you also have to have a good jockey/trainer and an owner who’s willing to spend the money it takes. Since we’re doing the Kentucky Derby thing.

The way you gain community support is by winning.  It's only natural.  The way you win is by hiring the right coach to change the culture.  If you put a bad product out, the community will not waste time in support.  Again, it's only natural! 

PS -- Do we think Carthage has a community support problem?!

We were talking about this at work the other day.  Warren has hired multiple coaches that have gone on and had plenty of success at other places.  One of their coaches just helped take Newton to a State Championship.  The OC at Houston went 0-20 at Warren.  Their last coach that stayed longer than one year is having success in the Private School ranks.  The Evadale coach has won plenty of games since leaving Warren.  

So, is it the coaches or something else going on here?

There's a difference in being the head coach and being an assistant.  I'm glad you brought this up.  I was planning to do a little research on this very subject.

Off topic briefly, not sure why this made me think of Oct 9 1982. 

That  when my older brother and his Kirbyville team mates lost to Kountze 3-0.

Kountze was on nation's longest highscool football  losing streak (53 games). Of course making headlines across the country. My at least every other season reminder is due.
