Anyway, back on topic.  I Think everything will work out.  This guy he experience.  He has a reason to stay since he's a hometown guy.  He's tasted playoff success and probably ha a good network going with coaches.  The !pat important thing is he was under one of the best coaches in the state.  That along with a weak bottom rung  of district and the athletes he'll have at his disposal, I think he'll do fine...

Under one of the best coaches in the state or under one of the best recruiters in the state?

I agree that BISD puts very little thought into hiring football coaches. If you look at the reputation BISD had in the past in regards to talent versus now. We used to be a "must stop" for recruiters. Now we are a "drive-by" destination. PA does a better job.

What’s a “recruiter?”

False. Over 50 kids from WB have signed to play football at the next level over the last 3 seasons plus a number of athletes from other sports.  Even the big time schools still go in there to look at kids.

That's one school. I said BISD.  Lookup the district's past reputation for football.

Maybe instead of using BISD we should just refer to the school by name?..Kids have to have to talent to get looked at which we can all agree BOTH Beaumont schools have talent.  The 2nd step is the coaches getting kids information/film in front of the recruiters which seems like one school is doing a better job than the other at that.

Maybe I said BISD because that's what I mean.

This part has not been good at all the past 2 years.  Hopefully that changes with Graham...

Lets hope so.  The way HS sports is now most kids want to play ball no matter what sport they're playing.  The more kids a school signs, chances of more players coming out increases.

Look at BC for example, labeled a baseball school because so many kids just play baseball because they have a chance of playing at the next level. I'd be willing to bet if BC got all of the baseball kids on the football field they would be better. Side note, Johnny Dishon and younger brother both played football at BC, 1 went to LSU and the other to Ole Miss for baseball. BRING BACK THE MULTI SPORT ATHLETE AND ATHLETICS WILL BECOME BETTER.

That second part also falls on the parents as well. Just not the coaches.

True. Have to get the community back into having a competitive athletic program instead of just trying to be good at a one or two sports. We see that a lot of smaller schools can do this well but somehow has been lost as you move up classifications. 

It goes both ways too.  Football coaches/parents should encourage athletes to play other sports like basketball/baseball and/or track instead of just training year round for one sport.  The competitive mindset is a hell of a tool in athletics.

Yep, I guess I shouldn't expect everyone to work as hard as Toby Foreman did at Central and Peevy does at WB to get kids looked at...

You own it, but anyone doing hiring or with any sense of the landscape of HS football on a statewide level knows some jobs are simply impossible to succeed at....Graham has clearly demonstrated he's capable of leading good teams...as much as we like to put importance on coaches, in the end you've got to have the personnel to compete...he'll have the personnel at United at the 5A level

If he has linemen then he has a chance....1st and foremost tou must have a Line...offensive and defensive...is there any true size at United

Can anyone reasonably doubt that BU has the talent?  What's needed is a good coach!
