I would say I'm 75% sure Kilgore hires from within. That’s what I’m thinking. Gonna be hard to find a coach that’s wanting to come work for the previous coach. Sounds like it could be a mess waiting to happen. Hire from within or somebody with close ties to the program that can work under Wood without issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The fact that job is only going to be posted for like a week on the job board screams that it is going to be an inside hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not diminishing what Preston has contributed at all, but this is Surratt’s program. Preston ain’t going nowhere with a possible record setting defense taking the in 2021.

This may be a once in a life time defense. The starters gave up 4.5 points a game. They bring 9 of them back. Bigger stronger and faster. I just have to believe coach Preston wants to see what this defense can accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the chances are that it goes that direction. He would never lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngcoach123 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I’m hearing 80k two classes and keep staff intact. Doesn’t look like a great job in that perspective. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the classes are 7th and 8th grade athletics. I don't think the $80k is terrible for HFC only, but......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better than it was but could get even better. With Kilgore having to share the field with Kilgore college is what's hurting the facelift is what I've been told.

Thanks but no thanks. I think the "keep the current staff in tact" is the bigger killer. They already know what they want with those stipulations. With Wood being AD, this is just a formality to promote someone to HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikehoncho Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I hate that there are some things attached with this job to make it less appealing. Kilgore has fantastic athletes and talent year in and year out. The right coach could really make Kilgore a perennial powerhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope that whoever takes over will make their offense a little more dynamic! I didn't watch much Kilgore action last year but it sounded like it was a step in the right direction diversity wise anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
