robanadana Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 For everything you have done for our community, our school and our kids. We are extremely proud of you and the Pirates and looking forward to next year with great anticipation. You are without a doubt the best Athletic Director in 20-4A and mentor to our children. God bless you and your family.
vhs Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Great post, he has the kids moving in such a positive direction on the field and in life... Thanks Jeff
knightrider Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 From an ex alumi and a Bronco fan, "Job well done coach, You'll be back there next year" ;)
pirate68 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 I think coach would tell you that it was a group effort from all his coaches...Every group played well from the O-line to the secondary...He has put together a good staff and I hope we keep them in place.
invictus Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 I don't know. I'm pretty mad at him for the 15 yd penalty that basically negated the big 3rd down stop for a loss in the 3rd quarter. It gave them another chance at a TD and it is really what started the downward spiral. You cannot get mad at the kids for anything when you, as an adult, cannot control your emotions. It was a big game and whatever he was upset about probably was valid, but you cannot let it cost you in the game. You just can't do that.
Fastball Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Been saying it all year - Coach Mathews is a great Coach and Guy!

desethion Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 let me go on record to say that since they dont give coach of the year to the coach that wins district in the case of coach washigton last yr. i will say jeff mathews sould win it based solely on the fact that he keep his team together thru some tough times and got thm three rounds deep. first class coach. i usually got with a bmt team but for ones jeff deserves it
Coach Parker Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Was on the sideline, Penalty was on our player for pushing one of their players after the whistle. Coach Mathews was gripeing at the ref because the play before one of the angelton players head butted one of our players right in front of the referee and was not told anything. Coach told him that it was his job (referee's) to protect his players. I am glad that he was trying to protect our kids.

Guest beechnut Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Good job coach bc I was impressed with the kids and Coaching. Kids played hard and never gave up.
pirate68 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 The P.F penalty was a BS call anyway....Both kids were jawing at each other and it gets called on Vidor? Should have been offsetting if he was going to call it at all. IMO...It had no outcome on the game.Angleton did what they needed to do in the 3rd..

robanadana Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Posted November 26, 2011 Everybody, please calm down. That one play was not what lost us that game. We ran into a better team, period. There were several things that cost us the game, that wasn't it. If you look at the nuances of football you will notice everytime Montana was around the ball, they hit him. By the third quarter, he was hurting and not moving well. They were bigger, faster and better coached than any team we've faced. If you want to pick one play, pick #9 catching the kickoff after we got within five 28 - 23 and running through our team like Forrest Gump. They have five legit D-1 players...#9 is headed to Houston. This thread was started about Jeff and the outstanding job he did with a team predicted to finish 7th in an 8 team district. Quit acting like Vidorians.....
Gabe Posted November 27, 2011 Report Posted November 27, 2011 There is something which sticks out about Jeff and it has nothing to do with football. Jeff cares about the kids and his passion is driven by wanting his players to succeed. There is just something different about this guy and it separates him from others. Jeff should have the Vidor job for life if that is what he wants.
