bearnation Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'm pretty positive the interim tags will be removed and Lewis will be the Head Coach... great guy, will be successful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDogg32 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Great pick on Clower. Will be a great AD. The kids love him. He have made a different in my son life the two years we been at Gladewater . Lewis is a great coach I saw first hand how the kids respond to him. I respect how he show the kids that he care not only in basketball but all sports. He also will help them in the class room. I hope he get the job full time. I am looking forward for the future in Gladewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillonpanthers Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 So they will keep a separate AD and Head Coach? I thought Louvier might come back too. Bad timing though only being in SH one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballETX95 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Lewis is a basketball coach. He played D1 basketball after leaving KC. Lewis may be a good guy, but he's no HC material. GW if smart, need to go get Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will do a great job for the Bears and already has relationships with the players. I hate Coach Berry is leaving but I am totally confident with going forward with Coach Lewis and Coach Clower. I've known the Louvier family all my life and Johnny is outstanding. I'm sure he is perfectly happy at Spring Hill. He has and will have great success there.

Yeah, but Gladewater doesn’t have to settle for that. There are places to get your feet wet. There would dozens of qualified applicants if they open it up.

There would dozens of qualified applicants if they open it up. With this group we have coming back we need coaches that already know the system and have relationships already with the players. I'm sure there are many qualified applicants out there but with all that is going on in the world and questions about when or if there will be football this season, the players need familiarity, especially with their coaches. The boys know Coach Lewis and what he expects from them, but more than that Coach Lewis knows the boys. Their strengths, weaknesses and talents. He will do a great job.

Hard to know with an unproven guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDogg32 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I promise you he is proven. I have a son on the team and love Lewis. You will really be surprise Lewis no the game of football.

Y’all will be ok because someone taught the most gifted athlete y’all have ever had to run three routes.

You will see next year. You no nothing about Gladewater or the coaches there. Kinda like I no nothing about the eagles or there coaches. I work with the coaches at Gladewater and saw first hand how the kids respected Lewis and work hard for him. Haters going to hate. Gladewater will be ok I promise.

No one knows what the school board has in mind. I will say that I do believe in Coach Clower as an AD. He has been coaching these kids for I believe 12-13 years and in my opinion has made as big of a difference in not only football success but the kids lives as any coach on staff. As far as Coach Lewis I believe in him as a leader but I don’t know him from an Xs and Os standpoint. He will have something to prove just like any other first time head coach does. I will say that from everything I’ve seen heard or read he is driven and would do whatever is necessary to help the kids excel. Sometimes that means as much or more than having Art Briles on the sidelines. Once again though everyone is assuming they won’t open the job up and that these are more than just temporary positions. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot easier to coach an A plus athlete than turn the tuba player in to a great WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW fans maybe but not everyone on the current coaching staff. Opening it up will be the best thing for y’all IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of a lot worse folks to give a shot to than Clower and Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's happening more and more at the lower levels and those schools wonder why they aren't as successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
