Mahaffey will not make a good AD. Also he has more haters than followers. I ask just one question. Do we want a AD that throws a kid 144 pitches on first outing after coming of IR for arm issues?  I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!

Man I'm just throwing this put here. I don't really care. I don't have a dog in this hunt. But this ain't baseball. We talkin football in this section. As long as he can coach football and turn a losing team around. Who cares about baseball. Lol jmo

I don't know a coach that really does his job that doesn't have "haters".  Little Johnny's daddy is always going to know better. It isn't a matter of Mahaffey "making" a good AD.  Check his background.  18 years as an AD/HFB plus assorted Head positions as needed on staff.  Always made the playoffs after a time, no matter what the sport.  As AD he wasn't just a "football" guy, but promoted all sports and handled things in a way that was good for the total program. Did it make everyone happy?  Probably not, because most are only interested in what their kid is in, not the total program.  HF will be lucky if he will take the job, IMO.

As for the pitching, did the kid's arm fall off, or is he strong enough to handle the work?  Maybe Mahaffey did know what he was doing there too.  He [u]was[/u] a pitcher in college.

Well it should not be about the coach making a name for himself,just make the kids believe in themselves and everything will workout.IMO

Doesn't matter who they hire. Only qualification is that they are able to follow orders from the parents.

Word I'm hearing on the street is that they have chosen the assistant from Midland and the assistant from PNG. WOW you have an applicant of Mahaffey's quality, in the district now, and you go with two untried assistants.  I guess they [u]are[/u] just looking for a "yes" man.  :(

You will have to trust the team looking at applicants. Everyone started somewhere. I am sure Coach Mahaffey has been given consideration and he is a great coach in baseball. I think they have been to the playoff twice in the 3 or 4 years he has been at HF.

    • No worries. My thing is this. Trump was badly flawed. We knew it going into 2016. As an incumbent, there really wasn’t much of a chance to nominate a different candidate in 2020. But after all that happened during Trump’s term, the election loss and fiasco that followed, and everything else that he’s been a part of since… we should have chosen a different nominee in 2024. That’s been my point all along, but that’s not what we did. His followers are very vocal and infect all levels of the Republican Party leadership-especially in local counties and precincts. Enough people decided that Trump is the only person who should be considered to be the eventual R candidate that he cruised to the nomination in spite of everything, purely based on the cult of personality, IMO.  All of the signs were there. Trump is in a dead heat with Biden and has been all along, while every other potential R candidate enjoyed double digit leads over Biden. Literally all we had to do is pick someone over Trump and they’d cruise to a win over Biden-but we’d rather lose with Trump than win with someone else.    Names like Gary Hart and John Edwards come to mind. Those guys were Dems with a small fraction of Trump’s baggage, but the party still dumped them and moved on… I can’t understand why the Rs have refused to self-police and choose someone with decency… who would also be able to win the popular vote. We (the Rs) should have made DJT an old memory… but force the Ds and independents to do it for us. 
    • Trump literally ran on locking up hillary... ppl seem to 4get that
    • Currently in a monsoon raining badly here in Lufkin game will start late 
    • I read your posts and agree on some things and disagree with some.  I guess my one question is (in your opinion) who should we vote for?  Third party candidates do not get elected.  Kennedy is only going to dilute votes which will benefit Democrats.  Write-in votes do not win elections and I’m not even sure they are counted in a presidential election.  Many people get on and express views and tell us what is wrong with X, but never give the answer for Y.  I am extremely sarcastic and passive-aggressive, but genuinely hope this post doesn’t come across that way.  Trump has my vote until someone persuades me otherwise (and I’m a Never Biden).  Had another R been nominated they would have had my vote.
