Woodville is open

[2wedge]

What several returners coming back from a State Finalist ball team, I'd assume they will be aiming pretty high with this search. The expectations have to be through the roof in WV and would necessitate hiring a coach with some sort of pedigree. Also, getting him in asap to start thing rolling should be top priority.

Lot of coaches “with some sort of pedigree” sitting around waiting for a job.

I'm hearing you want the job but may not make the cut. Hence the saltiness. 

No saltiness whatsoever.....

If I want an interview,  I will get an interview.....

Woodville will get a good coach, of that I am sure. He will probably have some success and for the sake of Woodville,  I hope they win a State Championship. 

Unfortunately,  he will ride the coat tails of the athletes and use it to get a better job. Finding a coach that can win and is willing to stay in towns like Woodville long term is really difficult.

Sensing your sarcasm, but there are lots of coaches with pedigree looking for their shot at a team with potential to make a long run. Neece in Anahuac has quite the pedigree, I am certain there are coordinators from championship programs that would jump all over this one. Woodville has an opportunity to go out and hire a guy they might not have had the chance to even talk to 5 years ago, or 5 years from now. Let's just hope they don't screw it up. And let's hope the rumor about the QB leaving isn't true.

Maybe it will be a coach that has the expertise to “make a couple of adjustments” to “shift the momentum of the game”.

Or......

Maybe one that will be willing to embrace the FORWARD pass as a viable offensive weapon......

One can only hope. Last you would want is some coach that want to run all the time like those Franklin coaches.

Everyone can't do what Franklin does. Different teams have different constructs. A balanced approach is probably best for Woodville. And it helps to be able to tweak it a little bit depending on the opponents strengths and weaknesses. We have players that can hurt you in different ways and we need a coach who realizes that and knows how to utilize it

No doubt. The method used this past season produced the best outcome in the history of WV. Probably be better off with someone else, get back to normal.

Last year wasn't bad at all. I don't expect we should totally get away from what we did last year. But some things could be done better and hopefully that's what we'll be working towards this upcoming year

Yep, best coaching job by anyone who has ever carried a whistle as a WV coach.

So the coach you had takes y'all further then any other coach in Woodville history going all the way to Jerry World. But its his fault y'all didn't win because he didn't open up the offense and use different weapons? Yall need someone you can utilize what y'all have? Wow no wonder he left even with the talent coming up. If the fans and community does not back the coaching staff in every way then why would he stay after taking y'all (a team that had only been 2 rounds) to the promise land. To many bleacher coaches that know better then the man and staff who got y'all there. Better hope y'all find a top coach and will put up with the experts in the bleachers or back to the bottom y'all will go.

I wonder how Franklin Fan would react if their coach only used the forward pass while ignoring their running game. Everyone knows the running game is your bread and butter play. I don’t think he would be praised for his play calling. If you pay a OC to call plays. Let him do his job.

Been mediocre since football was invented, makes it to a State Championship and everyone wants a new coach. Shocking that he would want to leave such a place.

It's life. People have opinions. If he can't deal with it then he done the right thing. Maybe people won't have opinions in Crawford. Nobody put a gun to his head and told him to leave but nobody's holding him hostage neither. Good luck to him

Considering that the history of WV is “mediocre”, you do the best you can and if you make a leap to the State Championship where you are against a team that outclasses you, you should be happy. There was no chance that WV could beat Gunter (even if WV had good coaches). 

[jds82]

These passive aggressive comments toward Woodville are uncalled for. Let's all remember that these are kids and the coaches are doing the best with what they have. There's no need to take shots at the team nor say that they were "mediocre" and "outclassed". That's just nonsense, uncalled for and absurd. Let us pray for whoever the upcoming coach is and that the upcoming year for every team exemplifies character and hard work focusing on how to grow as young men (because that should be the #1 goal). Let's make it a point to uplift and encourage no matter if a team went 0-10 or 13-3!

[AverageJoe86]

If you watched the game...Gunter was clearly on a different level than WV. 

WV's top 2-3 could hang with anyone, but 4-11 Gunter clearly had the advantage. Not sure any offensive scheme would have overcome that.

80-90% of Texas high school coaches will never sniff either of these. What's your point?
