No, The one I am talking about was an assistant at Lone Oak and now is a head coach at another school close by. I really have to believe that the board has enough sense to realize that they need someone in place and someone that will commit to staying longer than a year or two.

Still have lots of good friends that deserve a good athletic program. Great community and the kids play hard for you. I would compare it to Winnsboro. Here is some recent history from Smoaky history section. As you can see, the last several years have not been good. The kids to compete are still there, just need a strong leader that will put discipline and hard work back in the program. 2005 (8-4) 358-230 Randy Jackson2006 (10-2) Randy Jackson2007 (9-3) Randy Jackson2008 (10-2) Randy Jackson2009 (9-3) Randy Jackson2010 (11-1) Dean Lasseter2011 (8-5) Dean Lasseter2012 (7-3) Dean Lasseter2013 (7-4) Dean Lasseter2014 (9-2) 446-228 Lonnie Jordan2015 (5-7) 235-287 Luke Goode (District Champions)2016 (6-5) 354-323 Luke Goode2017 (5-6) 363-320 Luke Goode2018 (4-6) 310-400 Luke Goode2019 (2-8) 148-396 Vince Taylor2020 (1-9) 86-350 Larry McFarlin Is the candidate you said so much about one with many successful seasons as head coach?

I admire him for staying and accepting the "interim" tag and keeping the athletes working...pretty sure most would have told them where to take their "interim" tag and left!!

Not the 4.4 type but the type you can win. Now the school board has a perverted past to it, so that could be holding things back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe every head coach should have the opportunity to see the freshmen class though that was there when they started. When you coach, the freshmen are who you molded through your program. If you can’t get things done in 4 years then then it’s time to move on. How long has the ne guy been there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodfather Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 That timeline is fairly standard for hiring superintendents. Maybe some of you interpreted that as the timeline for the AD job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be true, but if the board is going to let a new superintendent lead them in a search for that AD/HC, then you are putting the kids and coaches at a disadvantage in getting prepared for the upcoming season.

If you're talking about Oakes then you're a complete fool!!!! The guy is 1-29 as a head coach and just got fired by the crappiest job in the state. Lone Oak needs to get away from the home towner ####. Bring in a young fiery coordinator to get this program some energy. Oakes ran the defense at Quittman and look how many points they have allowed. How do you justify hiring a 1-29 head coach? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
