[Cougar14.2]

I mean, you watch the game and it’s hard not to say Crosby had the bigger, more athletic team? What was drastically different is the way the two teams were coached. College Station had a dynamic offense that got the ball to eight different receivers and six different ball carriers while Crosby’s approach is the exact same as it’s been the first ten games of the year. Giving it to Yarbrough as many times possible and hoping he would break one. 
 

I will say Crosby should’ve probably had at least one and probably two more scores due to drops by our X-receiver but 5-6 is 5-6. Crosby probably had ten sophomores start at some point this season so in normal times you would say the outlook is promising but I don’t think the fact that Crosby can’t win a game from the sideline will change no matter the talent/experience/etc., we put on the field during the Willis era. He’s 21-34 his last five years with zero winning seasons, it kind of is what it is at this point. There were some bright spots this year like the overall defensive play of the team but there’s no way you can take this system/culture into 6A and expect to compete.

It's really confusing because it's a systems that have been proven to work are the opposite of this system, Crosby is at its best when it puts all its athletes into space and lets them be athletes, Running downhill has never been the culture of Crosby teams and does not exemplify the advantages Crosby typically has on the field which are superior athlete's and positional play. 

I think these kids could thrive is a mode spread out system, and the Sophomore QB showed signs of being pretty good throughout it's just a shame that #2 and #0 go out without having a winning season as top contributors when we saw how great they were as sophomores. 

Feels like a bunch of wasted potential, but I'm sure those two kids will go on to be undervalued prospects in college and will have great college careers. 

This team underachieved and that's honestly on the coach at the end of the day 7-16 is not a Crosby Coach. The only thing this coach is gonna do is reinvigorate the two HS talk because go to 6a completely unprepared is going to be bad for the school and community.

Along with other long time firsts during the two years of the Willis era, today will see some more. For the first time that I can remember in Crosby's history they will sign four FBS players in one class. Josiah Jones and Copelin Windfont will sign with UTEP, Nate O'Fleherty will sign with Air Force and Wesley Yarbrough will sign with Arizona. AJ Johnson is committed to TAMU-Kingsville while Keenan Bradley and Malik Windfont will also sign solid scholarships in February. Mix in the junior class which probably has five NCAA signees and the '27 class that may have as many as ten and it's hard to see how Willis can finish 5-6. This is the first time in 20 years that Crosby has had back to back sub .500 seasons. Keep in mind that Jerry Prieto only had ONE D1 signee during his entire tenure in Crosby and it's head-scratching to say the least. Hopefully we get something figured out before Willis wastes the next couple of years of this '27 class which has more individual talent that even the '14 class with the Walter twins and Singleton.

Maybe he gets an OC that will run a true spread system and he can be CEO instead of trying to be both the OC, HC and AD.

Do y’all think moving up in classification has had any impact? I noticed departures and sub .500 records began about the time y’all moved up to D1.

TBF 3 years ago we were the literal smallest school in 5AD1 population needs time to adjust. I just think we would have been a lot closer to Angleton this year if we had either of the last two coaching staffs. That being said we weren't going to compete with LP this year this might be yalls year.

One other note we lost 3 games this year to teams in 5A D2 so no classification is not the issue.

Not in the slightest. The teams we’re losing to are teams we used to beat the last 10+ years before the coaching change. I feel confident after watching all the teams in the region saying Prieto or Riordan would’ve had this Crosby team in the regional final this week. Prime example is y’all just beating A&M Consol. in the regional semis to make it to the 4th round. Three years ago Crosby dropped 53 on them in the 3rd round to advance in the D2 playoffs. Same schools, we just all moved up a class. 
 

Angleton scored 13 points on Crosby this year and only got the second TD because of the long kick return to open the 3rd quarter. Crosby scored 0 offensive points that game. The last time prior to Crosby playing Angleton this season we shut them out 34-0, it was 38-15 Crosby the year prior. We’re just incompetent on offense under Willis which is why Coach Prieto could go to Dayton and beat us with less than half the talent. We hadn’t lost to Dayton is 12 years. It’s ALL coaching.

Just was curious. I know when LP has gone outside of their ‘coaching tree’ in the past, it’s been a disaster every time. (The successful coaches all spring from Carroll Lundin as the starting point.) Bringing in Mills (Sealy) years ago—because of his multiple championship resume—was a bust. Maybe the biggest.

When LP stays with the people that have/have had experience with the history and culture of La Porte, they’ve seemed to do well. They all have had somewhat similar schemes as well. As y’all mention the type players Crosby produces, La Porte tends to grow LB/RB type players with just enough big boys for the lines. So, the play style they use works for them.

Interesting how that works.

Crosby signees yesterday. I’ll update this after signing day in February but I think every senior that started this year besides one will sign NCAA scholarships. Crosby community still producing talent at as high a clip as ever, would still be in the golden age with a competent administration. ‘27 class may be the best ever if we can keep them together.

We have a thread for the signings.

We don't have that but Rio + Prieto were both wide open offenses. I honestly think this team would have been best in the Rio system because of how hard it would be to play against a team with Yarborough at RB but you have to worry about the 17 variations of quick screen game that the wide receivers' run, think it would have slowed down teams being able to run blitz because of the real risk of it being a true screen. 

Like imagine if we actually knew how to run the RPO game we tried to run against LP. 

But look for P did with that title game team, the amount of d1 talent on the field this year was greater than that year, that being said we did not have the QB play we had that year and that's a huge deal.

to be fair:

Mike Ray- UTEP

Reggie Branch- Missouri State

Ayden Jones- Northern Iowa

all FBS programs

Mccoy Casey- SEMO (FCS)

Your son and Kirkwood D2's along with a few others.

Yes alot of those were Juco transfers but that was in the Covid years when signing out of HS was tough.
