Right on! ETF since when did we start losing to teams like this? Non-District and District schedules like this and not only losing, but in some cases getting shut out. Smh. That's what happens if you only run 2 plays. 

3.... they had the qb roll out :)

That's something I have no clue about.... I didn't see it coming honestly. He loved it here. He was well respected in DF. Had a great staff and took care of business 3 straight years. He was the AD/HC for only 3 years here & some don't realize that's hard to do. He should have been locked in at a very reasonable salary and these topics about High school football in Texas would be way more interesting... js

Might have won two more if he had stayed

It's because he didn't even get an interview last time in my opinion.  Therefore people are speaking up.  Isn't that how democracy works?  We elect the members for the school boards and tell them how we feel.  If they don't do what we ask we elect someone else.

that's exactly how it works as in the governing board listening to their constituent or how it should be but I was just posting something I had seen. I joked on here about DA coming back the day this position came open but honestly I don't know he's the right fit. DA is a legend in Daingerfield but if he comes in and it's a flop will he still be thought of as the same DA from 30 years ago? I've seen it mentioned on here and other platforms many times that DF (which any school really) needs stability! I would guess Dennis is pushing 70+ in age and in all honesty how many years he have left of coaching before he decides it's time to hang it up and spend more time with the kids and grandkids. Does DF want to be going through this process again in 3-5 years!

As long as he stays lol. Rooted for Harleton and Troup even went to a few games so Dfield probably won't be any different if he gets it that is. Dfield probably not in the position to be extremely choosy.

What I was saying is, with DAs age, I wouldn’t count on him being there long. I personally would go ahead and hire for the future, someone that is wanting to stay a while and actually build a program rather than making a hire thinking y’all will have instant success that isn’t guaranteed and then turn right around and have to go through this process all over again in just a couple years.

And another thing, if they go through the lame process they did last time with a Committee of dozens to find their man they will be in the same boat again in two years.  How a place like DF could screw up the hiring of a FB Coach is beyond me.  Committees are USELESS and never accomplish anything.  The Superintendent needs to interview and hire the Candidate.  Not a BUNCH of school employees and community members most of with their own agenda.

ESPECIALLY with the money they think is a fair offer.  WAY under what the Brand deserves to draw first rate applications.  I know of more than a few OUTSTANDING young Coaches who did not even submit an application last time because they knew how bad the salary would be.

I'm with ya ETF, I want what's best for our program too. I agree that our program has diminished since Bowman left. However let's go ahead and give Sardenia his credit. Look at the schedule he came in and played against as opposed to what Waldie just played. Sardenia still took us to the quarterfinals in 2011&2013 and State Championship game in 2012. Think about Sardenia nondistrict schedule. 

Vs Gladewater

Vs Gilmer

Vs Henderson

Vs Atlanta

Now think about Waldie. Lol 

When did you ever think of battling with Hughes Springs, Ore City, New Diana, Hooks and Dekalb? Look at our playoff opponents. We are  down now more than ever. We have the kids, we need the coaching. IMO of course!

That was the only games Sardinea could get at that time.  He ALMOST had to schedule Stephenville for crying out loud because NOBODY would play Daingerfield.  And BTW the schedule Waldie had for his two years was set up by Sardinea.

If EVERYONE in Morris Country threw in five bucks they would STILL not be in his price range.  The salary DF is going to pay unless things have changed is embarrasingly low for a program with its history and tradition.  Why do you think Traylor turned it down two years ago?  He was making a LOT more as an Assistant at Gilmer.

Daingerfid should land a helicopter on the C in Carthage, walk I to the building, escort Smitty out, and the rest is history.
