dillonpanthers Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Just now, Eagleborn said: Willing to bet most will complain. Yeah, probably. I think most probably wanted someone with head coaching experience. (I dont personally agree with that). And some will complain about hiring a metroplex coach. I think when the Briles news first broke, people got excited. Whether they wanted him or not, it appeared they were trying to make a splash hire. Doesnt mean this guy wont be good, just doesnt have the wow factor. Hopefully the Lee fanbase will support him and give him a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodOleBoy73 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I thought they were looking for an offensive minded guy? Maybe I misread/misheard, but I did not expect them to hire a DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this guy was just that good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R E LEE Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 From everything I read and hear, it sounds like a solid fit. DR has lost 5 games in the 5 years he has been defensive coordinator and if you look at their scores on Max Preps, opponents have a bunch of single digit scoring games. Lone Star only scored 7 on them in the Semi's this year. I don't know if they were looking for offense or defense, but it would seem they would want to find the best long term prospect that would be a great head coach. The foundation is there for someone to make it their home for a while. I bet he wins alot of games in Tyler over the next ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R E LEE Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I guess that almost always comes down to how stable and sane the central administration is over the same time period. I could see this being one of those windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think is a good salary to attract some high quality coaches? We have to remember we have 2 high schools and neither one is the AD of the district.
