Coach Woodard Info

[WOS95]

im curious UNLV, what choice would've made sense to you?

[UNLV]

im curious UNLV, what choice would've made sense to you?

Someone with the shock value to get community support. The key to Lamar

football succeeding is winning and community support. I wanted a bigger stadium over VIP

, I still prefer both. A bigger stadium means more fans in the stands. If Lamar football had

never stopped, the Woodard choice would be ok. However this is a restart of a failed program.

A chance to make a new impression on SETX. A chance to forget the last 30 years.

There must be a big bang to get the program going. Foot to the floor spinning your wheels, a

full can of lighter fluid on your charcoal, a nuke, something big to start the program. Afterward,

then you start throttling down to something more realistic and at Lamar's level. Woodard can takeover

after the big bang. He will then have the experience at this level and acceptance by the community

the way Roc was accepted. We need the big bang start, something that will have all of SETX talking.

Woodard will only have people saying Who and Why.   :'(

Been basically saying this all along.

Well the guys that he will start recruiting on Tuesday will be the guys who SETX read about and see on the field, and if he gets capable players that can win, then who can't like the hire? UNLV he coached Brandon Williams, and I know you know who he is (central qb from last year), if he could get this kid back home...

Mffl, you don't understand. It's not his coaching skills that bother me. We have a small window to grab SETX attention and hearts.

If the area reacts Who? Why? Is this the best we can do? Same old Lamar. Its over. SETX fans want instant success and wow now.

Think of that show "Showtime at the Apollo", once you hear that first boo...Its over.

[Alpha Wolf]

Well apparantly its not anyone on here's choice to make.  If  Tubbs and Simmons agree that Woodard is the man for the job, what are we going to do?  Not support the football team?  I dont think so.  This is what we wanted right?  Football.  If Woodard is the coach, then he is the coach.  Everyone on this board will support Lamar except for probably TT.  The majority on here including myself will have season tickets and be at most of the practices.

As long as he recruits the area for the best players he can get from around here and goes out and steals a few that he shouldn't be able to get from some bigger named schools.  And of course wins more games then he looses, he will be okay.

Does anyone know what kind of offense he ran at Navarro?

The dreamer.

First of all, you can't have a big stadium if you don't have the money to build it. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

Second, you say you want a big name coach that will give us a " big bang start ". But what big name coach has applied or has asked for the job? Simple, no one. At least, not the big name guys you are looking for.

You go ahead and stay in lala land, UNLV. The rest of us will wallow in reality.

I have a good feeling that the Lamar higher ups know what they are doing and what they have to work with to get it done.

Come on unlv, get a new angle.  This is the second time (at least) that you have posted this list of "Major Wrong First Impressions."  And, you act like you were there on every one of them saying, "You're wrong, wrong, wrong - these are great inventions - just wait (insert appropriate number) twenty years and you'll see."  Do you work at a job that has a budget with expected results?  Don't forget the budget part.

1. I'm happy LU is bringing football back.

2. I'm happy it is not Div II or even Div III.

3. I'm happy the stadium is being upgraded to a state-of-the-art facility.

4. I'm happy the stadium will seat 17,500 and upwards of 23,000 SRO.

5. I'm happy the recruits will have an awesome facility that rivals others (if not the best) in the SLC and most others

6. I'm happy LU is hiring a coach that wants to come to LU - apparently the others did not - and build the program.

7. LU has my support. Sounds to me like Tubbs and Simmons are making the right decisions for the University, the TSUS, and financially.

KUDOS to being responsible leaders.

[Guest coachacola]

Well the guys that he will start recruiting on Tuesday will be the guys who SETX read about and see on the field, and if he gets capable players that can win, then who can't like the hire? UNLV he coached Brandon Williams, and I know you know who he is (central qb from last year), if he could get this kid back home...

Mffl, you don't understand. It's not his coaching skills that bother me. We have a small window to grab SETX attention and hearts.

If the area reacts Who? Why? Is this the best we can do? Same old Lamar. Its over. SETX fans want instant success and wow now.

Think of that show "Showtime at the Apollo", once you hear that first boo...Its over.

What makes you an expert on the people of SETX?  Sounds like you don't think too highly of them because you think they only want a fancy stadium and a big-name coach, but otherwise they could care less about Lamar.  It's pretty simple really, winning will get people in stands, period. 

Your repeated posts about everyone thinking small time are getting old.  You say Lamar and everyone here is thinking small time, but you have offered no proof that Lamar had the money and a big-time coach lined up.  Until you give us some proof that Lamar turned down expanding the stadium and turned down hiring a big-name coach, please stop with those posts.

In a nutshell, I think Tubbs is going with Woodard because he believes Woodard is the best recruiter among the applicants,  he has the most energy and will have the most to prove, and probably feels that Woodard will stay here long term if he's successful.  Tubbs wants football to succeed long term, and over-hyping it with a big-name coach that has no plans to stick around probably would fail.  If Woodard can bring in the good players quickly (which he did at Navarro College), then he'll win here quickly too.

[KFDM COOP]

They like him in NE Texas!

From smoaky.com

Coach Woodard has also coached in the N.F.L. european league and the regional football league.

The man has great knowledge of the game and is a good person.

If Lamar gets him, I say good for them. They have a winner

Let me dumb it down. A big name and fancy stadium will get the packed stadium. Winning will keep them

A unknown name and a so-so stadium will get a much smaller crowd. Winning will keep the small crowds stable.

A big name and fancy stadium gets national attention.

Small name and current stadium shape gets laughs.

BMW vs sub-compact, what will the crowd favor?

Winning alone will not bring the crowds, ask the wildcatters and drillers about that.

Lamar football needs to be the place to be seen or more than its FCS football.

Monday if Woodard is the guy, I think it will be a big mistake and death blow to Lamar ever leaving the SLC and going FBS.

The community will not rally around him in large numbers. Without those numbers, Lamar will be just another struggling FCS team.

After a few years, Woodard will start winning, however nobody will show up to Lamar vs Tarleton st. We need to shoot for the moon, even if

we miss we are still among the stars.

[Guest Indian Chief]

Big difference though between the Drillers/Wildcatters and LU Football returning.

[Guest abovetherim]

Huge difference!

[UNLV]

Big difference though between the Drillers/Wildcatters and LU Football returning.

I talk to a lot of sports fans about Lamar. Many see Lamar as small time jv.

Woodard would reinforce this non-sense.

[UNLV]

Huge difference!

But it proves winning alone will not necessary bring the crowd.

I remember Lamar started the year 3-0 in football. Lamar was ranked 11th in I-AA.

Next home game, 2,000 fans or less.

[Guest abovetherim]

That is hilarious because that is exactly how I view the Drillers and Wildcatters. I must say the Drillers are playing some ball right now though.

I'm not trying to be a jerk about Woodard. I just feel really strongly deep to my bones that this plan

won't work. Its a mistake like Dillon. I hope I'm wrong, I will attend the games, but I feel this is all wrong. I'm usually

right about these things.

[Guest coachacola]

So UNLV, which big-name coach did Billy Tubbs refuse to hire so he could get Woodard?  And whose millions of dollars did Tubbs refuse to accept because he wanted to keep Cardinal Stadium small?  You still haven't answered those questions. 

For Lamar to be making a mistake, they would have had those options, but I've seen no proof of that and you haven't offered any.  Maybe you're right that without a big-name coach or big stadium football will fail, but you've go to show us proof that Tubbs decided against doing that.

UNLV,  I don't know you personnally but it sounds like you have made you're point and believe the rest of us to be idiots

who are ignorant of such things.

I for one am tired of it.  Nix the rhetoric and put all that energy into supporting him.  Coach Woodard has earned the

right to coach this tema in BT's and Simmons view as well as most of us on this forum.

Welcome to SETX Coach Woodard.

So UNLV, which big-name coach did Billy Tubbs refuse to hire so he could get Woodard?  And whose millions of dollars did Tubbs refuse to accept because he wanted to keep Cardinal Stadium small?  You still haven't answered those questions. 

For Lamar to be making a mistake, they would have had those options, but I've seen no proof of that and you haven't offered any.  Maybe you're right that without a big-name coach or big stadium football will fail, but you've go to show us proof that Tubbs decided against doing that. 

Grow-up....

Figured you didn't know the answers...  :

How are we suppossed to support hockey in Beaumont?  It doesn't snow here, let alone ice over.  Its not offered in the schools around here.  It doesnt really excite people from around here cause its not even suppossed to be here.

Ive seen the Drillers play this year, first game 95-8. ???

But Lamar football! ;D  Welcome to Beaumont and the Golden Triagle Coach Woodard.  I'm ready to purchase my season tickets. 

UNLV, I dont know you, but I hope our tickets are right next to each other. ;D

Give it a chance man.  He hasn't even signed his first kid, designed the uniforms or helmets, made the schedule.  Give it a chance!
