"Nation" s is back in Broncos! 1) Because recent success trumps historical success. 2) Because it gets ugly if I go too much further back!!! ;-) Go Crosby!!! dayton 1 Quote

Then I look at a kid like Ripp who wasn't recruited and he has a Sugar Bowl ring and a NFL career with Green Bay. So maybe sometimes coaches can make a difference because somehow this kid was totally overlooked and had to walk on. I've talked to Rip's uncle at work, he had scholarship opportunities elsewhere at smaller schools but felt confident in his ability to walk on at OU. I think he even had a couple of other FBS offers. You just said Stew got players looks, now you say a kid that played for Stew was overlooked. I'm not arguing coaches make a difference but once again, a kid who bench presses 500lbs in high school is probably going to be successful most Friday nights. Not to mention he was able to put on about 25 pounds in the 5 months before walking on. Galena Park sucks but they're still sending kids to schools like A&M, Colorado and Fresno State. Coaches may sharpen a kid's skill set and some do it better than others but it's up to the community to provide the raw talent. Red Dawn 1 Quote

Rip did have a couple FBS "partial" offers. Sometimes work ethic trumps talent. This is a case where the individuals expectations and dreams far outplayed coaching, parenting, friendship etc. Quote

He was a very polite, respectful, intelligent, hard working kid that earned every bit of what he has become today and I think personally that proves that if you work hard enough and never stop trying you can accomplish your dream, and that's just what he has done. I for one am very proud of Rip and how he has represented our little town of Dayton, Tx and any other kid that has given it their all for success. Go Broncos 2016!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
7mary3 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 From earlier posts. I myself wouldn't be happy with a District Championship. Get a taste of the big dance you hire a Coach that wants to get there & win it. Looks like BH wants that. What about Dayton? In it to win it, nothing else matters. Quote

Very few teams in SE TX have the money to throw at big name coaches like BH and what coach doesn't want to win State? Let's not be a Debbie Downer before we see what unfolds . bleedblue 1 Quote
liltex Posted January 20, 2016 Report Posted January 20, 2016 Welp having alot of kids coming out sure helps,smh I find it amazing that 20 straight playoff years happened & The Broncos never had more than 22 seniors over that period.I certainly remember the many teams we've played that were very good,I remember the FW's-Elkins-Ike-Angleton-PNG-Ned-Tivy-SS-LT that field 30-45 seniors most yrs.I long for the day Dayt suits up 30+ srs Quote
Football Fan 4 Life Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Posted January 20, 2016 My wife just texted me at work and said 99.9 just announced Jeff Nations as the new AD/HC for Dayton so now I guess it's official. liltex and Octfeb 2 Quote

Let's not be a Debbie Downer before we see what unfolds . On the high school level do big named coaches win without big time players? It's like the coach from WOS said, you ain't gonna win the Kentucky Derby with a mule. I would say though, hiring a big named coach will put some excitement back in the program, but hiring a coach that the community respects and most importantly the kids, might be a better hire. Just my humbled opinion. dayton, jayhawk, BellBiz30 and 2 others 5 Quote

Bronco/Cat Fan Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 I am sure many in Dayton are waiting to see who will be on Nation's staff and in what capacity. Quote

Guest Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 I'll give you guys and gals another little tidbit. If you recall a guy (coach) on the sidelines that would get really pumped up, intense, energetic and fire the kids up............you'll be glad to know that he'll be back on the sidelines soon enough.
