Bob West's show- Franchione, Stump, etc.


Recommended Posts

Some Houston sportswriter was the guest on Bob West's show tonight and he alluded to Franchione - basically, Dennis wanted his son, Brad, to take over after 2-4 years.  This could be false, though.  But Bob mentioned something relevant- it's preposterous to build the program in two years .  Nevertheless, it sounds like the next coach is going to be Craig Stump. This is good news.  Franchione would've been a homerun, though, in my opinion.  Lamar will hire a new head football coach within two weeks.

There is no way BT would hire Franchione for 2 years. Lamar would not play a league game before he is ready to call it quits. This just reaffirms my opinion. Coach Stump is the better fit for Lamar if the information about Franchione is correct.

If they have offered the job to Coach Stump why wait two weeks?

thay cannot come to terms on three points. If they do Stump is the man. However, Stump will not wait very long for Lamar to meet him at least half way.

Let's take a guess here. Coach Stump wants a long term contract, wants to be able to make his own schedule, and wants to be able to hire who he wants for the coaching staff; especially the OC and DC positions.

Am I correct on any of the three?

Navarro’s Woodard is receiving strong support for LU job

Bob West column for Sunday, April 13

The Port Arthur News

If you’re looking for a dark-horse candidate on the Lamar University football job, the best bet is Navarro Junior College’s Ray Woodard. A UT football standout in the early 1980s, who spent a couple of seasons with Denver and Kansas City in the NFL

    • Well Mustang fans it's time for my annual end of season rant. I've had so much company up here on the soapbox that I may have to start charging rent. After 3 years I don't think anything needs to be said. We all know what's wrong. We all know why. So what's the decision at the next board meeting? IMO, there's been enough imaginary success for the board to rubber stamp the Superintendent's vision for our future student athletes. #make every second count Due to soft scheduling and a weaker than normal district. The luck of knocking off 2 ranked opponents early when they were not healthy or still trying to figure it out. Also led to a premature ranking and a hollow DCTF weekly award. The 2 late season losses vs ranked teams proves what we know has been the biggest problem.  Football 19-15 .559 Baseball 9-35 .205 Basketball 19-35 .352 GBB 11-29 .275 Softball 1-22 .043 Volleyball 0-38 .000 Overall 59-174 .253   For anyone living in the district, I ask that you contact you're elected board members publicly and privately. Don't let them think this is exceptable. Be the solution to the equation. Not the divisor. This starts at the top and falls heavily upon those walking the halls. They deserve better.
    • I don't think it's 6-5 maybe 4-3
    • Sounds like a good idea, and something’s been needed for a long time. I know—where my kids & grandkids live now (DFW area)—schools are like revolving doors for athletic purposes. I don’t think the DPISD & LPISD option enrollment are anywhere like that. I assume it’s pretty above board since it was an arrangement apparently agreed to also by the state. I do know some kids that went to LPISD elementary schools in DP chose to go to DPHS because of the district rating. (Of course, at the time, DPISD and DP in general wasn’t very racially mixed like La Porte.) LPISD has a high number of kids on assistance programs compared to DP. Say what you will, it does make it more difficult for educational purposes and scores can reflect as much. LPISD is still rated high even with that challenge. Some of the kids that chose DPHS were very solid athletes that I’m sure LP would love to have had attend LPHS. Of course, part of the big rivalry between DP & LP has always been because DP ‘looked down’ on LP even though we worked side-by-side. Now that Shell DP refinery has been sold to PEMEX, DP is changing. Some aren’t happy about it. Some of us in LP are kinda tickled about it after the history.
