He has some college coaching experience and this would be the time to find out if he's ready. What's the worst that could happen?

Why at Lamar's expense?    What's the worst that could happen?  0-10.   That may be OK for some here, but...

I would have to see the list first.  Woodard wasn't the best on the last list.  I don't remember all the names but I do remember they had the opportunity to hire Larry Coker but chose Woodard.  Let's not make the same mistake.

Not bad at all...One thing Stump will do that you can count on is try to keep talent from this area here.....Now if he does he will have to hire some good coordinators...lol what about a Arthur Louis.   He's like a Charlie Strong ahah recruiting wise

1. He will be inexpensive.

2. He knows the area.

At this point, it's worth taking a risk on.  Best case scenario is he wins and you have not set the program back financially. (Unfortunately, if he wins, he will not be here long.). Worst case, he's terrible and you let him go after 3 years (See #1).

The key word is "what if!"  Meaning not yet.  Does Lamar want to be test ground?   Like I said before, let's see the list. 

Todd Dodge, record speaking, is a better coach than Stump.  He was a total failure at North Texas.  Lamar's got time.  They need to do the right thing.  Their last two, possibly last three, choices have been total failures.  The second to last oversaw the destruction of the program.  Lets' pick the best available coach.  The last time the best available didn't get hired!

Not like Lamar is in a win now situation...Hey you have to find the right fit and just cause the name screams big splash doesn't mean it will be...

Nothing is wrong with giving Stump a chance 

The last two have been utter failures.  You willing to possibly put Lamar in that situation again?   If one looks at the list and sees Stump is the most qualified of the bunch, then yes, hire him.  But what if he's not?  You still hire him?

So you think Lamar should publish  their list?

Well Lamar needs to win now situation, when Lamar got passed up to go back to the Sun Belt conference for other teams it was a slap to the face in many eyes of Lamar officials. Now with Idaho leaving Sun Belt is looking at Lamar to come back. This could be our last chance for a very long time. We need to win now and hire a big name guy. Spend the money LU!

True, we haven't had a good track record on hiring coaches.  All I'm saying is let's take our time and do the right thing!  Sometimes one has to go out and find the the good candidate you want and not wait for someone to come to you.  Are they doing that?  Maybe -- maybe not!

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      By WOSdrummer99 · Posted

      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.

      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.
