    These type of games, personally who has/will continue in future coaching, will haunt you. Like Fig said, these types of games are marked down and make sure the same treatment is given out. Just like when Refugio used to do it past 2 decades, it eventually came back to bite them in the 🍑. We call it a "Humbling Experience"....Others may call it #BTATour

    New Diana has been humbled plenty in the past and I am sure it will happen again.  It also disappointing this group of boys who went 1-9 as freshman and then 2-8 as sophomores and are undefeated this year are still being told they just "aren't" that good.  It is a miracle they even wanted to continue playing.  And it is the adults on here bashing them when they are just showing up and playing a game.

    I hate to break this news to all you folks but Diana does not intentionally run the score up. when you put your second team in and they get a chance to play are you going to tell them not to score. they scored 5 times against Buffalo and the other teams they have played

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Well, maybe the West Rusk game, some extra points were dumped on them.  But when you talk crap about ND to other HC coaches, the result won't be good.

    Not living in 2023 just an observation. I have seen ND play they are good but not near as good as their fans think they are.

    They beat:

    GW - really down this year

    WR - really down this year

    Troup- not very good, went toe to toe with ND for 3qtrs.

    ND is good, but not State Championship or even region 3 winner, good. Yes for the 15th time i have seen them play. 

    Funny how you talk about the ND fans.  They are probably the quietest school on this forum. Plenty of others talking about ND’s depth but not a lot of ND folks.  The staff  are focused on one week at a time and the players just keep working hard.

    I am neutral & was there. It wasn’t close. ND was blatantly held at the point of contact all night with no calls ever going their way. ND dropped 2 TDs early in the 1st half. Troup dropped a couple of balls, too. Troup was holding ND receivers all the way down the field with no call, then got a call against ND late on a clear OPI. It was truly some of the worst officiating I’ve seen this season. I’ll put it this way, if these teams played 10 times, 9 would be absolute blow outs, the 10th was this game…a 3 score win by ND. Troup is pretty good, and will get 2nd and probably win a playoff game, as I said, but this game was never truly in doubt.

    Holding all night long.  Agree with that assessment.  ND went up 35-11 at the end of the 3rd.  Three scores in about 4 min if I am remembering correctly.

    I feel like this gets brought up every year. Brock of course gets brought up but they are the exception not the norm. Also never stripped it from the HFC title since they added football late they just kept it the same. And even their coach eventually left for an AD spot. 

    Edgewood does it and does it in a very weird way where the AD is actually the OC. Prairieland's AD is the Head Basketball coach and if I'm right have actually improved since that move. On the other hand New Diana's is the baseball coach and they are horrible at everything but baseball now.

     

    At the right place it can work and there are non football guys that would make great ADs. There is this fear that it looks like you are giving up on football being good, and there is truth to the applicants you'd get or that the job becomes a stepping stone to AD jobs. 

    Technically, New Diana does not have a AD.  The football coach is over football, golf and track.

    When you make one sport a lot less work than others, that causes kids to specialize as well....

    Can’t speak to that.  I do see a lot of athletes working hard and trying to balance a lot today.  The sports culture has created this idea that you have to spend a million hours in one sport to be good at it.  That itself puts immense pressure on a multi sport athlete.

    I'm sure they did their research and asked questions about weightroom philosophy before they "gave" it to the head baseball coach. I know alot of baseball coaches who believe in the weightroom, it's usually the basketball guys that don't believe they need weights. I also didn't say head football coaches don't want other sports to win, but I've also seen HFC/ADs lift other sports heavy on game days and not give a #### about the other coach's sport.

    Maybe this works, maybe it doesn't, but I don't see it being any worse than a traditional AD. I'm not trying to argue, this is just my opinion.

    I guess you could say I've seen friends of mine get screwed a few times, Starting Pitcher jammed finger running routes on game day and couldn't grip a baseball, starting catcher sore from maxing on squat on game day and couldn't move behind the plate, and a leadoff hitter/CF pulling his hamstring running routes on game day.

    Also the it's tougher to win argument doesn't make sense, winning always takes preparation and doesn't come easy.

     And as far as not being able to answer to a coach who's main sport isn't football, well if it's your job to answer to that guy, then you better or you're looking for a new place. Every other coach answers to football coach's and in case some of you didn't know, all coaches don't love football. I love football but not everyone does.

     Also, studies show football numbers are on the way down even in this state. So this may be a growing trend. https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/texas-high-school-football/

    All great points.  Bottom line an AD needs to be a good administrator and leader.  The traditional model may have that combo and to be honest many do not.  Just being a good HFC doesnt mean you will be about leading the other coaches or athletes.

    Football takes way more preparation and time on the head coaches part. Trying to do that and a class would be ridiculous. It has more inventory needs,  most paper work, and is the toughest to win. Its also the easiest to get fired from when you don't produce. Also, I hate the argument that putting someone that is not head football helps "all sports win". That's just stupid. You think a baseball coach will care about all sports more than a football coach? No. He'll care about baseball.

    The assumption here is that the baseball coach is no more willing to work with the football coach than traditionally the football coach is willing to work with other sports.  Maybe the school district is looking to find the best fit for each assignment.  When you have the HFC/AD in a small school setting, every time the HFC moves on, there is always jeopardy for all the other HC of the other sports they may lose their job because they are expendable and not wanted on the new staff.  That is not fair to the other coaches nor the student athletes.  This is "out-of-the-box" and will take a team effort to work, but it could be what's best.
