Lamar Head Football Coach

[Alpha Wolf]

Wasn't Woodard only at Navarro for only a year?  Would he be committed to 3 to 5 years, or would he be trying to jump ship as soon as he could?  If he is the coach, I still think Stump should be the OC.

[Tiger90]

Let's just say he has told some folks he is the man.

great choice, I love it

I don't know where he'd go while we are building a program unless he goes undefeated his first year here or something... even then, It's not like he's a legend so schools aren't just going to take a shot at him whenever he recruits for a year and tries to raise more money from the community.

Just remember how many people thought about how bad the Larry Tidwell hire was... or at least i was thinking, why hire an older guy who has never been a college head coach? Boy, was I wrong, I think every single person who doubted him was wrong. He had contacts all over the world!! I heard this guy, Woodard, was recommended by some big name people too.

Oh and BTW WBbear, definitely agree with you on that statement. Hopefully he can get some players from the Brook to LU.

There has been some talented WB players in the past wishing LU had a team. Some kids like the idea of staying home.

Why would Woodard disclose anything before his official hiring?  That's sort of unprofessional.

Who thought Tidwell was a bad hire?

[82 5A State Champs]

Whew! Woodard is a fine choice..... not that Stump wouldn't have done a grreat job. I'm glad Craig has chosen to stay at WB!

Who thought Tidwell was a bad hire?

I think i remember everybody wanting Ancelot or someone younger who seemed to have more passion; Because Coach Drake had not. Plus add to the fact we had nooo idea who the guy was and I think a few people thought oh Billy is just giving one of his TCU coaching buddy friends a job... great.

C'mon UNLV, admit that you didn't expect Tidwell to be anything like he is (AMAZING!). Maybe this football coach will be too.

Nope, Tidwell came in saying he wants to win now. Thats my kind of guy. He didn't say winning now is unrealistic and that 4-5-10 years

is needed first before upgrading the stadium to a bowl and getting a FBS invite....errr nevermind.

[Guest mffl]

Of course, we had a basketball team when he was hired.

I'm  with you on this. Why? Makes you wonder if the Woodard rumor is true. Stump may still be in the running.

[KFDM COOP]

A Coach will be hired within 7 Days!

[Guest abovetherim]

I hope Coach Tubbs gets the right guy!

[KFDM COOP]

I didn't get any name (S) but it will be anyday.

[Bobcatfan4life]

Expect an announcement by the end of next week......

[Guest mffl]

Woodard?!?

[82 5A State Champs]

Hope so. 

[KFDM COOP]

Woodard?!?

Looks like it.

[BLUEDOVE3]

Hope so. 

I hope it's Stump

[82 5A State Champs]

Hope so. 

I hope it's Stump

Nah, his work at WB is not finished!

[UNLV]

Barry or RC...or Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmy.

We won't make more than a side note on ESPN with Ray or Craig.
