I also believe that PAM has the potential. They are not reaching that potential. One has to wonder what PAM would look like if Surratt or Buchanan was their coach? I would say the look would be dramatically different. UNLESS, one thinks there is actually no difference between Surratt and the PAM coach!

Look, know one starts out as Elite. Surratt didn’t; Buchanan didn’t. Elite status is earned. One never knows what they’ll get. OF may get that special person. But you can’t do what Vidor and Bridge City did. It appears that they didn’t even try to find the next Surratt or Buchanan. Well, as for as BC, we’ll, you know how I feel about hiring home cooking.

I enjoy exchanging opinions. Let’s keep remembering, opinions are what we are writing.

Unfortunately for your thoughts, no school is going to hire an 0-50 coach. More likely that would get you fired. Although this coach might be the nicest guy in the world.

My calculations that goes into whether or not a coach reached Elite status. I have mine you may, or may not, have yours.

Every day coaches are hired and fired based on wins and losses. Right?! Who would you want coaching your team/kid, Surratt or a coach that’s has an 0-50 record over the last 5 years?

Any Texas coach that won Titles out of state is considered. But private schools don’t fit in my calculations.

Absolutely! Why not? He did it in his second year at Carthage. No titles before Surratt and how many since he’s been there! The point is: some coaches have that special talent. At any given time there’s only less than 10% elite coaches.

Help me out: What public school(s) does he have 4 titles?

You think there’s no difference in the Carthage coach and the Nederland coach?

100%! Never said otherwise!

Definition of an Elite coach is 2 State Championships on their resume. Who now in SETX has that on their resume. Cornel Thompson was the last one.

PNG: Not yet No coach in SETX is Elite.

That wasn’t for me. That was for others. Everyone here knows my success bar is higher than most. I’ll never waver on the 7 years. But remember, most elite coaches win their first SC in 4 years. I was just being generous by adding 3 years. You see, I do have feelings! 😏🤣

Gotta win! But, again, it all depends on where one’s success level is.

True. But, we talked here about always hiring the best candidate available. Just trying to get info to see if this was the best available.

How long was Smalley at OF? And how many District Championships did he win?

Why, has their standards changed? They held on to a coach with a losing record for 22 years. So, D has a job for life! 😏

PNG set the templet on the hiring process. Vidor didn’t heed the wisdom and now Bridge City has followed Vidor’s example of how not to do things. SMH!

Gotcha!

What I would do, if you have a smart TV, download the Bally app. You can sign up per month for around $20. But, they usually offer a 7 day trial for free. If you want to just watch the games, cancel before the 7 day free trial is up.

Hulu dropped Bally, or vice versa, after not agreeing on a price. Bally’s parent company is in bankruptcy and speculation is Bally may not be around next year.

@Big girl @UT alum Thoughts?!

Your opinion: When the new coach was hired at WOS, the talent just happened to fall off at the same time? Or could there be another reason for their team’s downfall from what they’ve been used to?

This can be said for the other tale of two cities: PNG and Nederland. And the answer is obvious. One coach has been able to develop the talent he has to win and the other doesn’t have the ability to do the same. Remember they have access to the same type kids!
