Exactly. Who knows what is going on, they are probably taking a break and waiting to get it all straight before football.

With 1000% certainty, I can guarantee you that every coach in Crosby is laughing as well. Probably be remembering him for years to come when they are telling old stories.

You need to go to another program. You can tell them how much you know and "what good football is supposed to look like". Be sure to tell the coach that won the state championship "doesnt know what good football looks like". I bet they will love to have you around. Have you already looked at housing in a new district?

Did you get the PAPF sign off commitment? You could be a "blessing" to another coaching staff somewhere else.

Really not many "good situations" in rural schools these days. With coaches/teachers/admins struggling to meet staffing demands and government mandates it has created a volatile situation industry wide.

You would be one of the ones in the community that sabotage the coaches before they ever get started. They hired to Coach Willis to "get the job done" and empowered him (as they should) to do his job. You did not want before you ever knew a thing about him because of his age saying that they should not hire a 60 year old coach (which you were wrong about). I expect you will be against anything he does without consulting with you first.

Agreed, except the group they have in the pipeline now is likely the greatest collection they have ever had. The team that lost to CS was not in the same solar system as this group. The only way they lose in the next 3 years is if they play up when they set their next "pre-district" schedule after the next alignment. They will not lose to a 4A team.

Where do you see it shaking out?

But they only a total of 4 SRs. Many Sophomores and JRs got extensive playing time. Should help them out this year. Tarkington is a great example of FR not starting on Varsity. It happens, but it is not common. I bet if we could get the total numbers for every team, the number of FR varsity starters the % would be less than 5%.

Yep, Suratt is the best. And he will have 3 more in the next 3 years.

Understood. Using that logic, no coach in the history of the state has reached "good" status.

Yep, many of them move in already “developed” from other programs. Regardless, he is going down as the greatest coach that ever stepped on a football field in Texas. Do you believe that Suratt is the metric for judging good coaches?

You think losing to Carthage 49-0 and "not winning district" in the district with Carthage is an indictment on Rusk? Wimberly was beat the same way in the state championship by Carthage and they were better than any team in this region. Carthage will be 64-0 after the next 3 years are complete and they will be the preeminent program in the history of high school football. Rusk just sent out consecutive D1 QBs and has been one of the more prolific offenses in the region for the last few years. Rusk also has a strong group coming up from the lower grades. Rusk is a great place for him to flourish.

Understood, because you dont have the information. Those coaches at Nederland know what they are doing as do almost all coaches. Especially those running an offense and coaching QBs. Some of the best coaching jobs are done during losing seasons and are frequently accompanied with comments from the stands like "yall dont know what you are doing", "Yall need to work on blocking", "Yall need to work on catching", etc. All the while those making the comments have no idea what the coaches are dealing with or what they encounter at practice.

If you "cant tell us what drills they did", you "dont know what you are talking about". You have clearly never coached and have no idea about how kids develop as players. There are some players that can be "coached" 24/7 and never get the job done. This why certain schools never have consistent winning records regardless of who is coaching. It is also the reason a school can have a losing record one year and a winning record the next year with the exact same coaching staff. The coaches coach the same way in the losing season as they did in the winning season. The only thing that changed was the players.

Understood, you still have not revealed exactly what they did at practices that would qualify as "poor coaching". You keep referencing "what the players did" but you have not told us "what the coaches did" that they "should not have done". What "fundamentals" did the coaches "not teach"? Are you indicating that the coaches should have taught the QBs to throw? Do you believe that the coaches went through practices and did not work on "throwing"?

How do you know the "coaching has been poor"? What part of the practice and which drills/techniques do you think they should have done instead of the ones they chose? Or, What would you have done differently?

So, who should have been the QB other than two you mentioned? Who in the program was "QB material"?

And following "back to back" McCowns.

District 10 has 7 teams with a total of 154 starting positions. I wonder how many of the 154 positions were occupied by freshman? Maybe someone can pull the numbers.

I guess we will find out in a few months.

Westwood does have a good group coming through and will likely have the most athletes along with Coldspring. However, they (like Anahuac last year) will have a Freshman QB. Even though this particular FR QB is going to end up as 4-5 start recruit (also in basketball), he is still a FR and it will be a tall order to start at QB which is why I dont think they will win the district.

Always amazed at those who are unable to process what has been said when it is written in plain text. No one has said anything about "unheard of". It is a "rare" and it is also "impressive" when it happens. The previous debate was to those trying to diminish the Anahuac Fr QB. Westwood will have one that will be in the 4-5 star range next year.

Westwood will have the single best athlete in the district (likely the region/Terry Bussey type) for the next 4 years. That is why I have them 2nd. Not bad logic though on either district.

I have heard the same thing for coaching regimes one year and then the next year everyone is praising the same regime. Some of the best coaching jobs are done during losing seasons.
