There is getting slightly off topic for a couple of posts and then there is getting way off topic for a page and a half. It is up to the mods/admins discretion as to how far off before we reel it back in. Its time to reel this one back in to the topic. Start your own thread ( which is already there by the way) if you want a different topic.
I guess he figured it was time to move up a level. Any idea how old he is? I am asking because I'm wondering if he is planning on moving to one of the bigger schools later on as a HC.
whoever Vidor hires, they better do it pretty quick. They are running out of offseason. If it is someone who is going to run the same system then its not that big of a problem. But if its someone changing it up then that's more of an issue.
To be clear the job has to be posted for 10 days on the school site whether they know who they are going to hire or not. I don’t think there is any requirement to post in other places. Although that is usually a good idea.
They played in the "Northern" 4A district for the first couple of years. Ozen, Lumberton, Silsbee, Jasper and LCM I think. They met Ned in the playoffs I think one of those years and went out in the first round. They moved to the old 20-4a and were playing Ned, PNG, WOS, TJ and Lincoln (I think they were still in 4a then) and I think Ozen had moved to 20-4a as well.
Football is a team game, there are multiple factors in winning. Especially winning a SC. The coach is only one of the factors and another is a little bit of luck as far as bracket and timing.
Ok, I have an example, Odessa Permian. They won 6 championships over 4 decades, only one coach got 2 (Wilkens). Gary Gaines coached when they won in '89 his fourth year. He left and returned back in 2009, and didn't even get to the third round in any of the seasons '09 - 2012. He went 23-21 during that period. Did he suddenly forget how to coach? I mean he is an "elite " coach by Reagans standards for the first 'chip but then just fell off?? Or was it that the population shifted in that area due to the fall off of jobs in the oil patch?
So did I , those 7 top 100 recruits gave up 24 pts and was down at halftime. SOC made adjustments in the second half , and it didn't look like PNG made as many to counter. Too many mistakes in a SC game for PNG. Anyway, I have seen scrappy teams beat teams with more talent plenty of times. PNG and Nederland have beat teams they probably shouldn't have (on paper anyway) and lost to teams they shouldn't have. That's why you play the game.
Lets get back on topic this doesn't have anything to do with Vidor really. (My fault as well for getting off topic)
I didn't say that. I said that there are a lot of misses on highly recruited kids and NFL picks. Not all of the time, but their hit percentages are not as high as you would think with the amount of money and time that are spent. If you read some interviews with NFL scouts, most say that the 1st round is a crapshoot and more quality players come in the middle rounds. Same thing for college.
