I am expecting him to concede very soon. Will be hard to continue with the recent trend.

Median household income in Texas is currently at $79k. You can draw no conclusions without a total number of districts in each income bracket. If there are 30 in one range and 50 in another range then you would expect to see more from the range with 50. A “numbers guy” should understand this beforehand. Also, does “every single one” mean: “not nearly all of them”? Exceeding poorly thought out comment. Grapevine, Katy Taylor, Flower Mound, Kingwood, VR Eaton, Northwest, on and on as far as you want to go.

Understood that you are a "numbers guy". You believe that a combined household income of $60k (two parent making 30k each) is significantly different than $50k (two parents making $25k each) and offers an athletic advantage. Also being a "numbers guy", you should know that no statistical conclusion can be made without simultaneously showing the numbers for all districts in Texas that did not make it to the semi-finals or without identifying how many districts are within each threshold. Example: What is the number of schools in Texas below $50k median income in Texas vs those $50-60k, above $60k. Or, "how many schools in Texas are above/below whatever range you choose to consider".

So, what exactly have you shown? That “Onalaska has everything economically needed to be competitive”? Or that “median income is not a determining factor for success”?

Not sure where I said “household income doesn’t contribute to money pumped into programs”. What I did say is: there are “many” programs “with money” that are in poor socioeconomic areas. The greatest influx of $$ comes from local industry. I also said: “for every successful affluent area there is another one that is unsuccessful”. The unsuccessful affluent programs are not an “exception” and the successful non-affluent areas are not an exception either.

No

I am saying that money put into programs, often does not originate with median household income. I am also saying that for every example of an affluent area that is successful there is one that is unsuccessful. ***There are few schools in Texas history that have matched Brock results. That is irrelevant for determining if they utilized an effective model for other schools.

I provided some examples. I could easily offer a similar exception for every example that you believe to be the rule. Could also provide a list of affluent communities that are pathetic in football.

If the defense doesn’t improve it will be regarded as a “failure of the little league coaches”. It is already obvious that the little league coaches in WV failed to establish a foundation of defensive skills in the players.

Programs with “money in the community” is different than “median income”. What do you suppose is the median income in Carthage, SOC, North Shore, Newton, Refugio, Franklin, etc?

Can’t base everything solely on median income. They are likely to have a successful transition if they take the approach indicated. It will wipe Coldspring out and will likely put the hurt on Livingston as well. Lack of football at Onalaska is a reason why many kids go to CS and LV now.

You believe “air raid” fits your talent base better? 1. You have no talent base (at the moment makes Huntington look like Duncanville). 2. Whatever “talent” you do have does not include an abundance of skill players such as WRs, etc. I don’t see any way that a pass oriented offense can work. Maybe I will be proven wrong.

From what I am told, that is their plan. Hopefully, Tarkington has a QB that sling it and WRs that can catch. An incomplete pass stops the clock.

Hearing that Tarkington will be airing it out.

Not sure where the insults were but if you are trying to make the case that what Chad Taylor did at Liberty and Hardin is "average", I suspect most would agree that is "being silly".

Got it. Liberty, Hardin, Tarkington and "barely has a winning record". In Hardin's case, the absolute best ever for over a half century. Those three schools have always been football powers. He should have done much better. No excuse to ever have a losing season at those schools. Any coach who doesn't put 10 win seasons up yearly at those schools is "average". You are making yourself look silly with each new comment.

When you say "losing record", are you utilizing "math" or something else? He has more wins than losses, is 10-3 considered "good"? 8-3? 7-5? 7-4? for schools like Hardin, Liberty? Probably have a parade in the streets if Tarkington were able to win 4 games right now.

Yes, because Hardin is a place to “win year in year out”.

So, is he a good coach or bad coach? How has Liberty done since he left?

Another one just led Hardin (which has been similar to Tarkington” to their greatest season in school history.

You would need to ask him if he gets the job. All I can tell you right now is that he is a high caliber candidate with a plan and will be bringing quality assistants with him. Tarkington will be lucky to get him if he is chosen.

And light years beyond what would be seen in WV district.

One of the two candidates is a high caliber candidate and will come in with eyes wide open and a good plan. Don’t know who the other one is. However, getting good coaches has not been the issue. The issue is admin running good coaches off.

Hoping you are being silly at this point. I am sure everyone is getting a good laugh.

The discussion is about Warren, Kountze and Trinity. There is no comparison. Babin upgraded in competition along with every other aspect of education. Trying to say otherwise makes you a laughingstock. *** I doubt BH has little league coaches on the level of WV.
