Yeah, but think about this: if this school is getting diluted, would he want to go there and cut his own throat?

Interesting!

For that reason, he might not want to go there!

Ha! Good one!

Exactly!! You would think that after all these years and seeing what PNG did without him that he’d finally snap about playing some defense!

But not under him!

49-33 DV Not surprised. Will elaborate later!

That’s why BF is sitting at home or in the stands. Appears nothing have changed!

He would have had a defense that probably would have won one or two State Titles!

They will anyway. First State Title since 1975. He deserves it!

Easy — they never had the fortune of hiring a Surratt or Buchanan. Carthage and Aledo wasn’t doing much of anything (zero State Titles) until these coaches came along. Regarding Huffman: I personally knew 2 of their coaches. And you can trust me 100% when I say they were “not” Championship type coaches!! How do you explain the downfall at Nederland? How about the downfall at WOS? How about the glory that’s happened to PNG. What affected these changes, talent or coaching? If one is being honest — I think the answer is clear! PS — It’s easy for coaches and their fans to explain away why some coaches stay for 22, 42 years and never make the big dance: they just blame the talent! Think about it, through all them years not one group of kids was talented?? Would you honestly believe that??!! PSS — one year Vidor had 18-20 returning starters and couldn’t do anything with it. Is it any surprise this coached ended his career with a losing record?!

Coaching!

Kinda where I’m leaning. If you have a potential all-state QB then it seems to me to take full advantage of it.

Interesting!

Anyone notice Bellville’s tackling has been subpar? They make contact but don’t wrap up.

Interesting thought. Say a slot-t coach has a top flight QB. Does he stick with the slot-t or does he morph into something that that takes advantage of the QB’s skills? @navydawg31

This is excellent! Did Vidor and/or Bridge City do the same thing?

Tell me if you agree with this: There are those here that says it’s about the talent and not the coaching. Therefore these same people feel that all coaches are the same. You know, they can be championship type coaches if they just had the talent. Now, it’s gotten to the point some say even Saban couldn’t win at Westbrook or United. So, here’s the amazing point: These same people are actually saying there’s no difference between Saban and the coaches at Westbrook and United! You know, it’s because of the talent. Thoughts?!

No, you are making assertions about Vidor’s previous history based on bad coaching. Since the late 70’s Vidor has hired only one decent coach. And he actually won an outright District Championship. Never done before and never done after. So — who are you actually blaming for Vidor’s past failures? The kids or the coaching?

No doubt in my mind they were saying the same thing at Aledo and Stephenville. Until the right coach came along!

You must remember, your opinion vs my opinion.

With the same type personal available can anyone reasonably doubt that if Nederland had PNG’s coaching staff that Nederland would look dramatically different?

Yes. But Vidor’s history of hiring coaches may have been the problem. Just say!

So, what you are saying is that the previous coaches couldn’t do it with this talent already on campus? So, then, you agree with me that it took a potential Elite coach to make the difference?!
