The turnaround in Huffman, in this same district, should signal hope into the folks in Livingston. Hire the right guy, and this thing can turn around on a dime. It was only a few years ago that Livingston was very competitive and, I believe, had a playoff berth. They have some good young groups in the pipeline if a program is built and ready to roll. There is a coach who lives just West of the TX/LA border, who is currently coaching just West of the TX/LA border, who would be a great hire to begin building Livingston back up. I'm very interested in seeing who ends up with this gig.

You are exactly right with the points you raised. Sometimes the answer may lie in area that doesn’t readily present itself. Every community would love to have the guy who looks the part(age) and is articulate, but a younger guy who has turned multiple programs around can be hard to find. Sometimes the answer may lie with an older guy who still has that fire to win, but some are afraid he might be too old. Or, maybe look at that guy who has been an integral part of that older successful coach’s staff and traveled with him to multiple schools and was a part of turning some of those programs around. It will take some exhaustive research on the hiring committee’s part. Not to try and tell anyone how to run their search, but I have seen candidates get removed sometimes for the silliest of reasons. In my opinion, which shouldn’t matter to anyone else, the biggest step for Livingston right now would be trying to get knowledgeable and well informed people on the hiring committee or interview committee.  think I read they are using a search firm, which is a good idea probably. But at some point a few names will be presented to whoever is making the final call. Research thoroughly
