Imagine the donation surge if a big name, like Jimmy or Barry, was named as coach.

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy.  Are you talking about THE Jimmy Johnson.  Man, there is NO WAY that he is leaving the Florida coast to come to LU.  Surely you can imagine the millions of dollars he has been offered to come out of retirement and coach somebody's team.  Just not gonna happen.

And Barry . . . ?  Why, just for the name?  If he were to agree to come, I wish I were able to match it plus a dollar to get him to decline.

Get outta there unlv - you're making all of us that are serious about the project very nervous.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?    worse case I'm wrong, so what.... However If I  say it enough, I might trigger something in the universe that reverses the polarity

in Jimmy's brain.

I'm also warming up to the idea of Craig Stump as head coach.  Since most of Lamar's big donors are local people I think they'd be satisfied with him, especially since he'd probably stay at Lamar for a while, as opposed to someone like Coach Fran who'd be gone in a few years.

I kind of like the idea of Coach Stump being that he is from the area and he is offensive minded.  I agree with Cola in that the money donors would go for him and that he might stay here for a while.  The local kids I feel would benefit, but would he be able to recruit other parts of Texas well enough?  I know nobody wants to rush this process, but Lamar isn't even giving us any teasers. :-X

In my opinion LU is trying to get this whole thing right.  They are not going to conduct their Head Coach search through the newspapers nor through this website - nor should they!

Do you all think stump has the job wrapped up? Here is my top ten list for he won't get it:

10. He's a high school coach

9. He's not the most qualified candidate

8. What has he really done lately?

7. He's a high school coach

6. Can he mix with the high level donors as well as the regular joe schmoes? i'm not so sure he can.

5. He wouldn't be able to bring in a top notch staff underneath him

4. his name won't attract the big dollars we need.

3. he's a high school coach

2. we need someone who has already infiltrated the college ranks and has connections and I don't mean ten years in the past.

1. HE'S  A HIGH SCHOOL COACH!!

There must be someone else??

I don't think it'll be Stump. A high school coach restarts Lamar's football would be a joke here and all

over the country. Stump will either be the assistant head coach to Jimmy or OC.

what Jimmy r u talking about?  jimmy johnson, who coach the Miami Hurricanes, and the 1993-1994 World Champion Dallas Cowboys?  u r kidding, right?

This is the hidden content, please

Stump has been the head coach at West Brook since 2005. In 2007, he won his second consecutive District 21-5A title by leading his team to a 10-1 record.

Prior to West Brook, he was the head coach at Kelly High School, also in Beaumont. Before becoming coaching in high school, Stump spent six years as an assistant for Mississippi State under his former college coach, Jackie Sherrill as well as three seasons as an assistant at Tulane.

    • I wish I was as “smart” as you, so that I would know everyone’s views, as you think you do.
    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
