And there lies the problem, if a coach thinks LU is a stepping stone, can you imagine what the recruits are thinking.

I don't believe coaches take a job thinking "once I do well here, I'll be gone in 3 years." The hardest part is doing well. Just ask Roc.

Why are we worried about a coach leaving when we haven't had a good one in 20 years??

[/quote]Half the people on this board were worrying about someone stealing Roc away before he had ever coached one game.  They will hire the best coach they can and worry about him leaving when the time comes.

I do realize all of that.  But I don't see Lamar joining a power conference anytime soon so they will never be place where a good coach will stay for a long time.  I'm sure Lamar can find a coach that can win 20 games a year against easy competition and make it to the NCAA tourney every 3 or 4 years only to get blown out in the first round.  What's Tidwell to do?  Find a hot young coach that will bring instant success then leave in 3 or 4 years or bring in an older "name" coach that will stick around and win 20 games a year but not really win any "big" games.  I prefer the high risk/high reward option of a young coach.

Lamar is a "small" mid major ! The big name "proven" asst. have been here from NC State to Marquette to Memphis and none worked out! You will only build a program to be able to compete with the majors by taking chances and risk ! Same is going to apply to coaching. Sorry not going to get caliapara, phelps, Kryzeski or whoever ! If you did they would struggle anyway!

P.S. I cant type either ! ;D

Sorry I just have this feeling about cross! I think this guy has something special ! Yes it is a jump up to D1, but we havent played D1 yet anyway!

Maybe you are asking the wrong question.  I think it's time to take a chance.  The questions and answers since Pat Foster sure haven't worked .

Mind if I ask what your reasoning is?  He has won everywhere he has been, unlike most of the other applicants.  And I'm thinking he must be able to recruit to get the caliber of athlete he has at LSCPA.

She's more pleasant than any of these gentlemen we are considering!  She's a firebrand and a tough competitor, and I still remember her in her playing days at LaTech with that long blond poneytail.  Call me what you want but she still aint half bad looking for a women of her age.

Well, I guess she is better looking than the list of guys previously reported, I'll give you that much.

Don Bubba Skelton is the bet guy for this LU job, and if Lamar don't hire him, we are sure going to see some loosing seasons ahead of the program, look at the players he brought in when he was at Lamar , and he baby sat Roc when he won in 2008, well enough said!

Same can be said for Skelton and Evans with more experience than Cross. I would be happy with any one of the three based on the fact that they have been Head Coaches and just flat out win!

Skelton has local D1 experience which in addition to his great track record at the JUCO level is why I have him atop my list.
Evans has a long history of winning and some D1 experience so I'd have him second on my list
Cross has produced in short stints. The only negatives on him are he hasn't been anywhere long term (he hasn't won at the same place over and over) of course his age has alot to do with that and the other is no D1 experience. I'd love to see him on the LU bench in charge of a defense learning how the NCAA works and possibly taking over 4 or 5 years down the road when the next guy moves on! Could set LU up for 8-10 years.

Most people don't win over and over at that level.  Once you win a couple of times at a school that hasn't won you generally move on.

Most coaches moving up are on average at each school for 4 to 5 years. This prooves that they can sustain the program. Cross hasn't been at any of the three schools for more than two seasons if I am correct??

    • Chester will be the home team tonight.  Neches Tigers will be the visitors.
    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
