They already have their man? It won't be internal. It will be finalized by the Feb 18th Board Meeting. If they go with someone else I'd be SHOCKED.

Nope. A coaching change was needed the last time around. That coach was a stopgap because the previous coach left abruptly for personal reason. There were 3 semi-finalist that time around and I think Ford was a great choice. I was leaning toward a different coach. Ford was the coach that some people wanted Lovejoy to be, the other guy was closer to what Lovejoy really is... Also, I'm not sure how much he influenced the decision, but I think Ford was his guy. The last I heard he was very pro-Ford and I believe he still is. Haven't heard how he is taking this resignation. I was surprised by how much Ford, and at least one of this staff, were paid. Hopefully the next contract is more incentive based and doesn't pay up front. I know a 24-20 record after 4 years for the 14th highest paid coach in Texas and probably the highest paid OC in the state (hell, highest paid high school OC in the world) is only going to last for so long before some flags go up... This may be one of the reasons behind the coaching change, but the other "reasons" were not handled well, at all... Update: After looking at the incoming coaches salary at this previous school, I see no cost savings in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leopard4Life Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I just don't see Lovejoy as a Flexbone school. They might pull it off for a year or two, but once these crop of Lineman graduate it won't be good for the program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his background from MS - College. The flexbone is the preferred offense of the leading candidate. However, I've also now being told that the candidate will change his offense to match his personnel. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if the school board and Supt are really on board or will Plano ISD still be plano isd... If they want to be the Plano of old then they need to fix their feeder system. Based on pay alone they could attract some great coaches (economy of scale).

Their enrollment is in the top 10 in the state, it is embarrassing for them to not have success." And yes, I know the feeder system handcuffs them, but how many freshman and sophomores are playing Varsity football in schools the size of Plano ISD, not many.
