I really do not think Woodward is going to make the huge impact that we all were led to believe that Lamar would make when they announced their head coach. I'm actually rather shocked and am interested to see if this comes to fruition, because this hiring is less than flattering...

If this is your hire and everything else does not measure as big a splash as many of you claimed, there will probably be a line of people ready to go get the old sign from back in the 1980s reserving your spot at the basement of the SLC.

Words that have reached my ears say some of the other claims made on this board are a bit short of the hype...

the only hype im hearing about lamar's football program is from some of the poster's on this board.  i think the university is handling everything in an appropriate manner.  ive said it before, i trust that billy tubbs and dr. simmons  know what they are doing in getting this football team back on the field.  if they feel that woodard is a good hire, then i think we should give him a chance

Us hard core fans will support who ever is picked. However our population is not big enough to fill Buna's high school stadium. We need a name

that will grab the attention of all +400,000 people of this metro.

WOS95 is right, nobody from LU's administration said they were going to hire a big name coach and build a 30K stadium.  Dr. Simmons has been rebuilding Lamar's academics first, and the $46 million raised so far is proof of that.  Billy Tubbs said he would consult with some big name coaches, and he has, but he never said he was going to hire one of them.  They are going to renovate Cardinal Stadium so it's one of largest, if not nicest, stadiums in the SLC.  Since the majority of the schools in the SLC average less than 10K per game, Lamar will also be one of the leaders in football attendance too.

Lamar will not average more than 10,000 if Lamar doesn't bring in a big name. Only 1 time to get community excited and on board.

Its like a freight train. 2 small U-18 engines will not get 150 cars up to 60 mph. You need the big Dash 9's. If the train was already going 60 mph, then

the U-18's could maintain that speed. Lamar needs a big engine to get the program up to speed first, then bring in a Stump or Woodard.

Somebody knows a little about the railroad!    I UP for awhile.

I'm not disagreeing with you.  Let's hope Lamar can find a big Dash 9 to get this train going.

The fact of the matter is this: the job is difficult and it could be either the steppingstone for FBS opportunities or the career-killer that sends you back down to coaching JV football and teaching U.S. History.  Noone really wants that kind of pressure. 

I looked up to my JV Coach and I loved history.  ;)

Guys,

I think that we here at this forum want the best for Lamar, but that sometimes clouds our judgment. I think we all wanted a RC Slocum, Fran, or a Larry Coker. But lets be reasonable we are not paying that much, we are in a crappy conference, and we have already had our football program fail once. I think we are trying to do it right but we have limited options. We cannot force these coaches to take the job. I am optimistic, I think that Woodard or Stump would be good choices and I base my opinion on the type of background that they share with USF coach Jim Leavitt. He was not a big name when he took over USF and built that program. He was an up and comer like Stump or Woodard.

Anyway we can get both? The more I think about it, the more I like Coach Stump. Is it possible to pay him enough to leave West Brook for a OC position and an agreement he will be the next Head Coach should Coach Woodard leave.

I don't know much about Coach Woodard but the people who do like him a lot.

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      By WOSdrummer99 · Posted

      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.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By OlDawg · Posted

      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.
