With the 2021 DCTF Magazing Cover Reveal at Noon Friday on Texas Football Today...the staff decided to reveal their favorite past DCTF covers....which one was yours?? [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

In this case we are talking about an AD who had been there six years and had not won more than three games in a single season, so in those cases where you have a AD who has been at a place 5+ years and had not won its going to be much more common for the supt to want to make a change.....the only thing that really makes this difficult IMO is the timing...

In a small ISD the AD/HFC reports directly to the supt....why wouldn't a new supt want to bring in their own people..athletics is a big deal in small towns...they are going to want to ride w/someone they hired in most cases....

Here's a fun fact the eight quarterfinalists in the 2019 Division I 7on7 State Tournament went a combined 91-13 in real football that fall

It's quite common for administration to bring in their own people at any school.....when you consider the previous HC was there six seasons and hadn't had success it can't be that big a surprise to anyone that the new regime wants to give it a go with people they hire....its just the nature of the business

What will hinder the search and limit the pool is going to be the timing...even if you land a really good head coach, trying to build a staff in June will be incredibly challenging

I'd say 95% of the ISD's dont use search firms because they decide to conduct the search themselves..if the firm gets a good reputation they'll pick up more work..I know of at least 4 ISD's (not counting Warren) that have utilized Solid Oak already this year....my guess is if they keep the folks they have as consultants and have successful hires they'll absolutely pick up more work

Solid Oak may not be widely known but they've got some power players behind the scenes who have a lot of connections and resources..

605 miles one way...Fort Worth to El Paso

Your original comment was 7on7 was overrated as a gauge to Friday night success, I disagree, I think for teams that run their Friday night system on both sides of the ball there's a strong correlation to success in the fall (as evidenced by the results) stated earlier. Is 7on7 the sole reason they are having success? No, but I dont think success is overrated either...I think if you go out and get eyes on who is doing what, quite a bit can be gleamed from 7on7 as an indicator in the fall.

Here's the list of 7on7 State Champs since 2015....seems like pretty all of them are also good at real football the following season...there are a few years when a team wins it that isn't great at real football but most of the time the teams that win the state tournament are also good at the real stuff 2015 Austin Westlake 14-2 Navasota 12-1 2016 The Woodlands 15-1 Kaufman 8-4 2017 Lake Travis 13-3 Graham 14-1 2018 College Station 9-3 Midlothian Heritage 11-2 Gunter 15-1 2019 A&M Consolidated 11-1 Sunnyvale 12-1 Poth 11-2

Dawson supt was Thompson's OC at multiple stops...there's the connection

yes they hired Alton Dixon....was the DC at Wylie East most recently...Lufkin native, coached there and played at A&M

Kinne is 69-26 in eight seasons as a head coach in Texas...he's most well known for his son GJ Kinne who played a bit in the NFL and is now an assistant coach at Central Florida...and for the time a crazed parent shot him in the field house 2003 Canton 8-4-0 T 2004 Canton 8-2-0 2005 Canton 12-2-0* 2009 Sherman 8-3-0 R 2010 Sherman 10-2-0* 2011 Sherman 10-4-0 C 2012 Sherman 9-3-0 R 2013 Sherman 4-6-0 [Hidden Content]

The chance to be an AD/HFC again?

A lot of small schools get 100+ applicants...25 is a low number but Buna IMO didnt do a great job putting the job out on THSCA etc

One of the most remarkable stories I've ever heard..... [Hidden Content]

As long as I am able you are 100% right...wouldn't miss it for the world

I think we are going to create a bundle option where you can add Texan Live to your subscription for extra if you'd like....if you dont want Texan Live we'll still have a package available thats just the magazine delivery and the online content....those price points for adding TexanLive are still being determined

I think he's a really good soccer player...its clear just from that run he's an athletic kid

I think its going to be a great deal and we are hoping to expand Texan Live across the state!

Tickets should be available through Crosby and Aledo ISD now.....general public tickets go on sale tomorrow at 1pm...you can only buy single game tickets..they'll clear the stadium between games

It's rare but it happens....It's going to happen in 3A-D2 Region IV no matter what since the 4 semifinal teams are all from the same district

At this point the only available date is Nov 5-6...unless the district totally modifies the schedule

its a 6pm kickoff
