New Lamar Baseball Coach


Mickey Mantle

Recommended Posts

Anyone have information on when LU will hire a new coach to replace Jim Gilligan? Seems like this has been dragged out, and I am sure it is killing recruiting for future players. Personally I think they have a coach on staff that could take this job and run with it. 

Just a shame that this is going to setback the program in a big way because of the unknown.

This guy could bring a breath of fresh air to the program but I thought Rick was the coach in waiting. What happened with that. The players love him. Maybe this new guy Davis is gonna be good but I think it was an injustice to Rick and Hatt that neither were promoted. Especially Rick since he's been waiting for years for this job to come open to take control.

It's a business.   I'm personally glad to see new blood in the program.   Best wishes to JR & SH, but it was time to clean house.   The program has fallen behind in so many areas.   Will Davis looks to me to be just what the doctor ordered.   I'm excited for the first time in several seasons.   I just hope that 2016 isn't a complete fiasco with all the distractions.

not me.   I follow Nederland Baseball some, but not avidly.  I just heard that the Vidor coach was being hired as a pitching coach.   

I think Kyle has gotten every job that has came open over the last few years according to this message board.

    • That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.     
    • Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up. 
    • Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived? 
    • We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
