My how the standards have changed on the 40 acres. Excited about a coach who has lost to Navy, SMU, and Memphis in the same season. DKR must be rollin' in his grave, really! I wish him all the best though, seems like a good dude and all. He will fit right in with the whole austin being weird crowd with how he licks on his players before every game. Seems like a stand up dude too, telling his players at Cougar High that he would never leave them and how much he loved them all year, and then leveraging tu with threats to go to LSU on T-Giving night to speed up the process. Seems like his priorities are straight. I honestly thought Charlie deserved one more year, but the "good ole boy" network that runs tu made sure Charlie never had a chance from day one. Hopefully, he breaks the chain of "crash and burn coaches" from Cougar High. 

Wasn't Sumlin a cougar high coach? How quickly we forget the Francionne and Sherman years. Seems some other team had trouble landing a coach, but that was ok? Funny how all the ags are so concerned with a team that they had the greatest rivalry game in college football againse, AND THEY LEFT...after losing to CASE MCCOY.

This is the hidden content, please

Im intrigued by the Jim Leavitt...Definetly has been around some good defensive minds..As well as Rhodes 

also im hearing Applewhite could still be brought in as the case will close in two weeks 

Leavitt would be good coming from the Spreads in the PAC 12 as well as balance offenses....

I hear Applewhite probably won't return to Texas because he had an affair with a female team trainer on a road trip.  That incident set of some messy legal actions, etc.

That was apparently a source of the negotiations.  I hear the opposite.  If Herman chooses, he is free to bring him back.

If you step back and look at the big picture, the ncaa is messed up. if a  player makes a few dollars selling autographs it's a big scandal.  Or if a coach pulls out his credit card and buys one of his players plane tickets to fly home and see their parents it is a scandal. Names are vilified, reputations are tarnished.  Programs are sanctioned.  IF a player tries to transfer he loses time.  But, a coach is free to jump around from one million dollar contract to another, with no regard for the current contract with their team.  Something is jacked up about that.

My suggestion is don't commit to the coach, commit to the university.

It's called a job (Coach) vs and education to later get a job (player). Nothing messed up about that. 

On the otherside of this argument:

Scholarship Player doesn't produce on field. Scholarship Player sits bench. Scholarship player still gets education. 

Coach doesn't produce on field. Coach loses job. 

Therefore just like you and me Coach is always free to look for another job.

Scholarships are issued on a year to year basis.  Player isn't good, coach can cut him and pull his scholarship.  You don't see that happen very often, because it looks bad and would hurt future recruiting, but it is possible.  Most coaches just make things miserable for the kid until they transfer.

That is what happened to your QBs!

    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
