Alpha Wolf Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Wasn't Woodard only at Navarro for only a year? Would he be committed to 3 to 5 years, or would he be trying to jump ship as soon as he could? If he is the coach, I still think Stump should be the OC.
Tiger90 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Let's just say he has told some folks he is the man.
Guest mffl Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 great choice, I love it As long as its not stump for you right?
BearWolf Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 great choice, I love it As long as its not stump for you right? yes sir. He's really doing some good things at the Brook. The kids have bought in. He can be Lamar's second HC

If he is the coach, I still think Stump should be the OC. I don't know where he'd go while we are building a program unless he goes undefeated his first year here or something... even then, It's not like he's a legend so schools aren't just going to take a shot at him whenever he recruits for a year and tries to raise more money from the community. Just remember how many people thought about how bad the Larry Tidwell hire was... or at least i was thinking, why hire an older guy who has never been a college head coach? Boy, was I wrong, I think every single person who doubted him was wrong. He had contacts all over the world!! I heard this guy, Woodard, was recommended by some big name people too. Oh and BTW WBbear, definitely agree with you on that statement. Hopefully he can get some players from the Brook to LU.

Some kids like the idea of staying home.
texasstud28 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Why would Woodard disclose anything before his official hiring? That's sort of unprofessional.

82 5A State Champs Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Whew! Woodard is a fine choice..... not that Stump wouldn't have done a grreat job. I'm glad Craig has chosen to stay at WB!

I think i remember everybody wanting Ancelot or someone younger who seemed to have more passion; Because Coach Drake had not. Plus add to the fact we had nooo idea who the guy was and I think a few people thought oh Billy is just giving one of his TCU coaching buddy friends a job... great. C'mon UNLV, admit that you didn't expect Tidwell to be anything like he is (AMAZING!). Maybe this football coach will be too.

He didn't say winning now is unrealistic and that 4-5-10 years is needed first before upgrading the stadium to a bowl and getting a FBS invite....errr nevermind.
Guest mffl Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 Of course, we had a basketball team when he was hired.
BearWolf Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 Why would Woodard disclose anything before his official hiring? That's sort of unprofessional. I'm with you on this. Why? Makes you wonder if the Woodard rumor is true. Stump may still be in the running.
Guest abovetherim Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 I hope Coach Tubbs gets the right guy!
KFDM COOP Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 I didn't get any name (S) but it will be anyday.
Bobcatfan4life Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 Expect an announcement by the end of next week......
82 5A State Champs Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 Hope so. I hope it's Stump Nah, his work at WB is not finished!
UNLV Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 Barry or RC...or Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmy. We won't make more than a side note on ESPN with Ray or Craig.
