  1. After the last hire, it will take him at least 2-3 years before they can become competitive again. I sure hope he is patient and does well. We all wish him the best. It is just going to be a long road ahead with a weak Jr. class and small numbers. Hoping for the best.
  2. You are so wrong. It does not take a minority coach to coach minority kids. It takes a coach who cares for the kids, is there every day for them, loves them, respects them, and disciplines them. They will work just as hard for him as they would a minority coach. Many coaches whether minority or not have grown up in the same areas as kids in Nac. The kids in Nac must make a commitment to get better and not listen to the town's outside rhetoric. Excuses are plenty. 50 years of losing causes this in the kids and the people on this board. There have been many excellent coaches come through Nac and gone on and did well or had done well elsewhere. Maybe its in the water. Doesn't seem to be in the water at Alto, Garrison, Lufkin, San Augustine, Henderson, Kilgore, Longview, etc. who have the same type of kids.
  3. Not true about the trajectory changing during the Reyes years. I remember them playing kids on one side of the ball, and also having a full J.V. and 2 ninth grade teams. All this changed with Allman. The new coach must be a good recruiter at the Jr. High. He and his coordinators must be there every day to sell their program to the Jr. High players. You can only build from the ground up. This will be a huge challenge.
  4. With less than 30 kids in the Varsity-JV off season program, Nac is already behind the 8 ball. The next 3 years will be bleak at Nacogdoches High in football. Someone is going to have to come in and start recruiting at the Jr. High and get the kids to play football and not go straight baseball, basketball, and soccer. Nac cannot survive if kids are not playing multiple sports. Individual sport recruiting has taken over the last 3-4 years. It is a shame but this is what is happening. When the cats away, the mice will play. You need an AD- Head Football coach that is involved and present at all times. Good luck to the new staff, they will need it. If they can get the kids out, they can compete, eventually.
  5. Losing football players to to become 1 sport athletes after 8th grade… baseball, basketball, and soccer. Nac now has jr. High baseball and soccer, and 9th grade soccer. This affects the total program. Heard there is less than 30 kids in varsity- JV football offseason.
  6. Heard that Coach Allman informed the kids he will not return next year. So, it appears Nac is open once again. Best of luck to the new staff.
  7. Watching this game on live stream. Lumberton kicking CH tail. It’s no contest. Looks like all those predictions are way off. Wow! CH looks a mess.
  8. You are right, but he had two more than most coaches that coached in Nac. If I remember right, he did beat Lufkin two years in a row and went to the playoffs 3 of 7 years. It seems Nac is always looking outward for Boy or Man Wonder, when they have had qualified people in the system. This has occurred for years. Even Bill Harper only made the playoffs in Nac 1 time, and he was an excellent coach. It is a very tough place to coach apparently.
  9. Looks like Nac should have hired O.C. Reyes. Look what he has done at Lumberton. Made playoffs first two years there and won District Championship in his 2nd year. 10-1 and still playing. I heard Nac didn't even consider him, gave him a complimentary interview. I would bet he would at least be at all the practices. Nac has too much talent to be winning only 1 game a year.
  10. Just saw where Nacogdoches had 16 first or second team All District players. They only won 1 game? How did this happen with all that talent?
  11. As I said weeks ago, this was the weakest I have seen this district. There was not a good team in it this year. Hoping for better next year.
  12. This is the worst I have seen this District since its inception. There is not a quality team in it. The tops 3 teams from 4A Division 1 would all win this district. I sure hope it improves next year, as this year has been hard to watch with the mediocrity.
  13. Watching this district this year, it is clear to me that this maybe the weakest it has been in many years. Really have not seen a good team in this district this year. The 4A division 1 district in east Texas is so much better. It’s a shame how weak it is this year.
