All points well taken; however, I would’ve expected at least one win of those listed. Chalk it up to a 2nd year head coach. If I was asked my criticism, it would be the the OC & DC should’ve been better picked, especially since the HC was new. I think the program can be turned around. Will the powers that be allow it? I think yes. Will the community as a whole allow for a learning curve? Not so far. Yep…losing to the 5 A state champs by 6, even though clearly WOS could have won that game, is just one of several instances of proof that all is not lost. I hope this year does not disappoint.

I’d do it in a heartbeat. Why not if that’s what the personnel calls for?

And therein lies the problem with college sports. Buying players is going to be a detriment to the sport.

Guess we can count on one more year of disappointment... smh. Honestly though, Mike McCarthy is just one of several issues.

You are wrong about so many things. Let me list a few: You sound like a racist and a bigot You are the one who has no clue on what it takes to have a successful football program (spoiler alert: it starts with the coach) People like you are the ones that complain and gripe and are just as detrimental to a football program as anything else I'm going to stop there... Plenty more to list with the more posts you make though...

I heard it's because he had not won a state championship in his first 7 years. 🤷‍♂️

@2wedge didn't state "they haven't had success and been to state before". You said that. He said in a supposition, "I cannot imagine there is another candidate on their list who is as credentialed as him. " It's his opinion, and he stated it as such. No harm, no foul. I'm sure his opinion is based on the assumption that the Orangefield AD/HC job isn't attracting droves of state finalist coaches. Sounds fair to me...

Unfortunately, I finally did just that. Lol. As far as the rest of your soliloquy, I agree 100%

You're a silly man. How many moons are in your world?

That's kinda the reason for hiring a quality head coach, right?

You missed the beginning where @bullets13 said basically what offense brings them to the state championship. Then someone quipped about coaches and / or players. I never said “nothing can change”. The discussion was geared towards having a state championship team, however. Not being shallow. Just being honest with my opinions.

Exactly. That was my first thought.

Yeah, I'd like to be on the flight where the plane being used was inspected by a paralyzed, one-armed dwarf who can't see real well and scored a 300 on the SAT. Don't ask him questions cuz he can't hear you. He can't test the flashing light systems either, because it sends him into an epileptic fit.

Nothing new... They've been doing it at the White house for 3 years now.

🤣😆🤣

Agree wholeheartedly

Do you or any of your coaches teach lineman how to hold without getting caught? Teach DB’s to tug on a shirt or hook a receiver? If one of your kids gets away with a penalty without getting flagged, do you teach them to turn themselves in? I could come up with tons of examples to refute your comment above, but I feel like you get my point…

The same applies for many schools in this area. Not just Orangefield...

I wasn't being harsh. Just being honest. Do you disagree?

Wouldn't matter if they were teaching the same system all the way back to the cradle. None of the 3 necessary components exist: coaches, kids & community. All are middle of the road...

The difference is, the ‘Niners won’t play piss poor football like the Cowboys did last night. Freakin embarrassing.

“Together, Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange form the Golden Triangle, a prominent industrial area on the Texas Gulf Coast…” -beaumonttexas.gov

Wrong. Beaumont Port Arthur Orange.

Not completely true. Lumberton made 2 2nd round appearances post slot t (2018-2020 I believe)

Not sure exactly, but I do know they had a lot of seniors on the team last season.
