OGVillain Posted January 22, 2023 Report Posted January 22, 2023 You can measure a coaches successes in many ways, by wins, championships, or in lives changed. Wins are good, Championships are great, but there is no substitute to changing a young athletes life. I’ll take a good coach who can mold a young athletes life, over a great coach that gets wins but doesn’t connect with his players. setxathlete14, Separation Scientist, TxHoops and 6 others 6 3 Quote

A BUC 77 Posted January 23, 2023 Report Posted January 23, 2023 He was the best thing that has ever happen to Vidor football in my memory. Always positive. Stands were always full.

VidorPirate Posted January 24, 2023 Report Posted January 24, 2023 I sure hope we get someone in here that will implement a fast paced spread attack. I heard we had multiple guys run 4.4 - 4.65 in the 40 this year. I mean, look at our linemen, they are built for 2 pt stances and pass setting. In the spread, we will beat LCM by at least 4 tds. some of you all are hilarious. we don't have to be slot-t, but we defenitly need to be run based and ball control on offense. that is the best defense we have. bullets13 and OGVillain 1 1 Quote

Lumberton has 5-6 guys faster than anyone we have. Add to the fact the size of the offensive and defensive lines.

Sometimes change is necessary for various reasons.. but wins/losses are influenced by much more than the ability to coach. Many times, coaches only have what they have and nobody could've done any better. But making boys into good citizens, that's quite a feat. OGVillain 1 Quote
