The problem is, they came in to last night with some injuries then it looked like they got beat up a little to boot.  Hopefully they can get healthy(quick)!

Who is the new head baseball coach at Crosby?

Have not heard

Confirmed 

Wiggins lands at Tomball Memorial, no word on Crosby as of yet.

Not sure the total years Wiggins has teaching for retirement but he has 17 years as Crosby Head Baseball coach. He might want a change of scenery, better paying job, maybe some one higher up did not want him at Crosby anymore or it could be a mutual decision on both sides to move on??? 

100% not mutual

I don’t think it was mutual.  My opinion though! I did see where Carter said he wouldn’t be in the Crosby Tournament next year.  

I still have a PNG shirt from way back in ‘06 😂😂😂

I'd go with something cat related since Ned has my other idea. 

New guy hasn’t been on the job more than a month and already controversy has knocked on his door.

Tried finding some info out about the team, but all of PNG’s social media accounts are down.  What’s their new mascot gonna be after the Disney performance by the band?

At Westlake, in the prior 43 years to Dodge arriving only 1 State Title was won.  Dodge ended up winning 3 in a row.  If the talent was always there then why didn't ALL the previous coaches have at least 3 or 4 Titles apiece?   Now that Dodge is gone, we'll see if any future coach there can win 3 in a row.

At Southlake, before Dodge, they did have a Championship Type coach who did have 3 Titles.  Dodge had 4 with 3 in a row.  There was a coach between the previous title coach and Dodge, why didn't he win a Title?  The same question goes here as I asked about Westlake:  If the talent is/was at Southlake then why didn't ALL the previous or future coaches have at least 3 or 4 Titles?

So his QB’s went to Texas State/Oklahoma, Missouri, Alabama, North Texas/McNeese, a baseball player, and Clemson.  Pretty weak at the most important position on the field during those title years if you ask me.  I will say, his development early on did help with that position at those two schools but I guess that may have been where he excelled.  How’d he do at North Texas?

Thanks for the question.  The 2 schools are Southlake Carroll and Austin Westlake.

If only there was a little bit of talent there.

This is just a plain insult to Surratt to try and prove the point that's it's not about coaching.  I say a Championship type coach will be successful at any level.  But, it's always good to try and prove one's point with constant what-ifs.  Why?  Because it's easy and can't ever be proven.

As I've said before, there aren't that many top tier coaches out there.  So you are probably right that one will not go to PNG.  But, was Surratt, Briles, Buchanan and Dodge top tier coaches when they arrived at their respective schools that they won State Titles?  NO!   All head coaches start their careers as assistants.  Not hard to figure that one out.  So, could the new PNG coach eventually be a Championship Type coach.  Absolutely he could.  Will he?  It's hard to tell.  But, since there aren't that many out there, the odds are against him.  That's why if the community actually wants a State Title then you have to put a time limit.   It doesn't necessarily have to be 7 years.  It could be 10 or 12.  Just where the community wants to set the bar.   But, overall, if one can't in 7 then probably won't in 20.   

Again, I was a little disappointed that Westerburg didn't stay on at BH.  He was there only 5 years.  I think he had them going in the right direction.  But him leaving without a Title gives fodder to the "it's not the coach" crowd.  I get that.   But, I'll match your point:  Tod Dodge was able to do it at two different schools!  So...

What 2 schools did Todd Dodge do it at out of curiosity?  I don’t feel like Todd Dodge would have the same success at some of those schools he did elsewhere.

I wonder how BF will do at Sulphur Springs and will one of his Rah Rahs @Stattraxkeep up with the video game like numbers there on the offensive side of the ball?

So, how many state championships does Crosby have? 

Let’s see if this one will post, maybe too many brews earlier.  Crosby has played 31 out of a possible 32 games in the past 2 years.  Some folks hang in the those State Championships when leather helmets were worn and the fastest kid(all white kids) was running a 5.2 40.  Crosby is just fine, I’m a PNG fan also from back when I lived in Groves.  This entire situation is weird.  Did it take Todd Dodge being a consultant for this guy to say yes??? What was the purpose of that entire thing?

Crosby is one investigation away from another "walkout".... wins don't fix books 🧐

Tired argument, and honestly they did pretty darn good after the last “walkout”

Man that sucks!  Rest easy Sammy.

We didn’t have to layoff half our staff and football coach quit because of cut backs like Crosby did. Just saying. Heard around 20k for a year. 

Ha, Crosby is in much better shape on Friday nights than PNG.  They are getting back on track after building things a little too fast.  They also did okay with the Football Coach that wanted to be there playing for a State Championship and in the Semi finals in consecutive years while embarrassing your Injuns! Tell me where I’m wrong!

@Stattraxso how much did the taxpayers pay for Todd Dodge to for this? Inquiring minds!

If they are staying in 5A its going to be tough for them. They will need good players, a drop 2 classifications, and tons and tons of patience. That is a fine school and community down there. I wish them all the best

There, I actually fixed it for you!

Stattrax, you seem to have flip flopped here. you have many post blasting faircloth, mostly his defense. now looks like you somewhat upset with the change. 

Months ago when Stat started the original thread he said he wasn’t a fan but he didn’t think it was right what was happening.  That was some time during the playoffs I think.  

Wonder why kids would need to show up and show support for their coach if these so called “rumors” weren’t true.  I’m gonna need @Stattraxto come out of retirement and give me an update.  He’s been dead on so far!

Rah Rah Rah!

I’m over here across the river thinking, this PNG situation is gonna be a crazy time, I wonder what happens, I wonder if the Superintendent for out who @Strattrax is.  This is going to be the craziest thing this off season.  WOS says, hold my beer!!! I hope they get it right for one reason only.  The kids!
