dillonpanthers Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I think most thought it would be a DFW connection and it was. He has been at some very successful schools in DeSoto and Denton Guyer. Hopefully it works out well for Henderson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still curious what was wrong with Crowley this past season and why they were so bad, on offense included apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything is better than what we/they had as an AD an a football coach. Things had really gone down hill in ALL the programs. Good man/ good christian is great put that's not what an AD/ HFC gets paid for. There's a such a thing as having both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we will . Hopefully everyone gets behind the HC and we get back to successful Henderson Lions football. Also I would like to see competitive sports all the way around for a change. So is it official that Andrea Robinson is coming to be the new Women’s Basketball Coach too? That is a lot to ask of your wife in this instance. Her career as a HC is more successful than his on paper. She just won a state title in 6A, but he would be asking her to come to the country to coach a team that went 3-16 this past year in 4A. She might do it for a year to support him but if they don’t win instantly she might have some resentment going into year two. That typically doesn’t end well. Just playing the devil’s advocate.

It is my understanding that the "Acting AD" has already named his wife as the Girls Coordinator as well as Head Volleyball coach; so that position is no longer open.

And the previous 8 seasons before that they won 64; that’s averaging 8 wins per season! I think most would say that’s being VERY successful. Agreed??

He has 145 wins as a head coach! I say this not being from Henderson or knowing Castles, but I can guarantee you he’s just a little bit better coach than the guy they hired. The new hire may very well prove me wrong, but I have a hard time justifying reassigning a guy that averaged 8 wins per season, and had one bad season. I mean is a coach not allowed one bad season out of 8?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing football in December is the best goal. I concur, but it’s still mind boggling letting a guy go that averaged 8 wins a season.

I certainly may be jumping the gun, and the new guy may be the next Scott Surratt, but man you can’t argue that Castles was a very successful coach 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football program was falling and people were to the point they were,'t showing up to games anymore. Talent carried the man like we do an infant. Kids started moving away from the district because of how his program had declined. He had to go! And since when did the AD start getting paid for being the HFC only?

I understand what your saying. I do know both are very good friends with Lamb from the years past and I'm sure some of it is to help him get the WHOLE athletic program turned around in the right direction. We should all thank them for coming to Henderson and helping rebuild that dumpster fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a hard time concurring with your statement that the program was falling apart. He has 1 bad year (in a year that was 2020) and everything is falling apart, kids are moving away, etc? Cmon man I’m not buying that for 1 second. As I mentioned earlier, Castles averaged 8 wins a year during his Henderson tenure. I’m beginning to think he may have been the victim of the new superintendent’s “personal” agenda; not the first time and certainly not the last time something like that will happen in small town Texas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotton84 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Number of wins does not determine how good of a coach a person is or how good of an athletic director he/she is --- In either direction...............8 wins a year at Allen in football is not the same as 8 wins a year at Queen City Talent on the football field and other sports, talent walking the halls of the high school and not playing a single sport, how he/she treats the athletes, how he/she does things in the community, etc all have to be considered.............no matter the school 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did the AD start getting paid as a football coach only? Also from my understanding he was having a hard time getting assistants to go there. Also (just a rumor) heard there was some jobs that were supposed to be opened up that never were. When the boss tells you to open up and do interviews that's what your supposed to do. Also from my understanding there was zero oversight of the middle school programs. To most that's just not doing your job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
