Mike Trahan - NEW Buna Head Football Coach

[9 Minutes]

Don't see anything announced by the school yet. Don't schools usually put out an announcement right after the vote for these things? 

[Little Jerry]

It is official. Mike Trahan, Vidor OC is the new head football coach at Buna. 

[Right99JOH]

Buna is getting a good coach in Trahan.  Great guy!!

Is Buna a new Slot-T school? 

[VidorPirate]

Great hire for Buna.

I’d imagine so… they used to run it well

District 10
Anahuac
Buna Coldspring-Oakhurst East Chambers Hardin
Kirbyville Orangefield
What 4 make the playoffs? Will it play out as it has in most years with several teams fighting it out for that 4th spot?

East Chambers and Coldspring-Oakhurst are the two locks, I would assume.

Anahuac, Kirbyville and Orangefield would be the second wave.

Buna and Hardin would be bringing up the end, if I had to guess.

I tend to agree. It will be interesting for sure.

Coldspring, East Chambers, Anahuac, and Orangefield. Not necessarily that order but that’s my 4

Trahan getting a few years of HC experience so he can take over Vidor job when DuBose leaves. Same as DuBose did before taking over for Mathews. These Bridge City alumni have a pretty good political circle going

what makes you think Trahan is from bridge city??  I've seen you mention it before, he is from Louisiana, was a very successful OC there for several years before making the move to Vidor.

Given the parameters of the job, this is a prime setup for someone like a current coordinator or experienced position coach to add "head coach" to their resume.

Seems I was correct in my assumption. Hoping this translates to Pick ‘Ems success next season 😬

Disagree.  EC will continue to slowly decline while Anahuac continues to rise, as Barrier checks back in and makes them DC capable immediately.  The only thing EC will be good at within 3-5 years is the "other futbol".  It's starting to look like Plum Grove over there.

Kirbyville nearly lost to Hardin (overtime) last year but I dont know what they return?

Surely Ofield will be somewhere near the top.  Cold is always tough.

Hardin just does not have the athletes to compete at a high level, but I'd imagine they'll be tough under CT as long as he stays there.

Buna has a long way to go in my opinion.

Ohh really now? The Barriers are back? When did that happen…

Things you do not know: 

1. neither Trahan or DuBois are BC Alumni 

2. 99% of coaches coach multiple sports throughout their careers (I am sure he was filling a coaching spot that was vacant & needed at that time)

His wife went to BC. She coaches the Vidor softball team and just captured her 100th career win.  She is also the daughter of a long time Vidor coach.

Buna will definitely run the Slot T now.
