bullets13 Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 On 12/15/2023 at 10:11 AM, Reagan said: Do a little history check and see what these programs looked like before these coaches arrived. But remember, these coaches were not Elite when the arrived. They earned it! carthage had 6 losing seasons in the 30 years before Surratt arrived. He came into a school with a considerable amount of consistent talent and with a consistent history of making the playoffs, and his excellent coaching got them over the hump. Coach Buchanan did a great job at Aledo, but in his first 15 years only won one state title (in his sixth year, ironically). He then went 9 more without one, before the area growth brought more talent his way. Consequently, Aledo has won 11 of the last 15 championships despite having 3 different coaches over that time. Did they luck into 3 elite coaches in a decade? I kinda doubt it. Buchanan may have started things off, but they have a major talent edge there. That said, HJ has 3 winning seasons in 20 years, and that was one special group of kids. BC has two winning seasons in the last 10 years, ironically enough with the same coach and QB as a couple of those decent HJ teams. You're still comparing apples to oranges. Surratt could absolutely come to those schools and turn them around and make them winners, but he's not taking them to state or anywhere close to it unless a whole bunch of kids move in with him.

If you want to move this response to another thread then thats fine. I just feel the need to elaborate. Coach Buc built Aledo into what it is today. The culture, the system, expectations, ect, is all installed by Coach Buc. You said he won 1 state title in his first 15 years, which was '98 against Cuero. Well, something that was not mentioned is the steady progression of our playoff runs. This thing has been building from the ground up. The Years in red that are underlined prove this point. The other two coaches you mentioned are Coach Steve Wood and Coach Robby Jones (current coach). Coach Wood was in Aledo 11 years, most as the DC before taking over and Coach Jones has been in Aledo 18ish years before taking over. Both Coach Wood & Jones have taught that system for awhile. So they did not try to change things for the sake of it. They have their own styles but they do not let their ego get involved. Thats exactly what we need. People that respect what is working. You also mention a major talent edge. Against most teams, I would agree, against certain playoff team, maybe, against other state finalist, not really. Aledo grew up beating teams more talented than them. All those years where we got knocked out in the 3rd-5th rounds, show we didnt have a talent edge. Not a lot of kids going to play on Saturday. I'd say La Marque, Temple, Manvel, Brenham in '09, were all teams that had more talent than us on the field in the state games. Maybe even Fort Bend Marshall too in '18 & '19. But our coaching has been outstanding and we have won a lot of games that on paper we should lose.

BLUE_LEFT_LEFT_ONE_ELEVEN Posted January 10 Report Posted January 10 (edited) Hearing Peevey is interested in this one also. Zero Playoff wins in the past two seasons after catching "lightning in a bottle" in his first year has the Bear Faithful growing impatient. They gave him a turf field like he requested and zero playoff wins to show for it since. WRONG FORUM, meant for this to be on the NEDERLAND post. Admins, please move.

Screenshot this post and take it to the bank. This is not a dart through or speculation Thank you, I am certainly Eric peevey will not even try to go, his kids are a part of the bear family and he is fully committed. His younger brother on the other hand may be seeking an opportunity, maybe even another bear who’s name hasn’t been thrown around much. Quote

Watched film of them early in the season that year and thought there was no chance they could even be competitive during the season. I predicted 0-10, They ended up turning it around and making a SF appearance. TxHoops 1 Quote

Bobcat1 Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 Looking at Harmony's website, their facalities look really nice! This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up They're also a 3A - Enrollment 283 compared to OF's 541. Jenkins son is playing at Lamar next year, I would assume that's why he wants to make the move to OF. Quote
