  1. Don't bet on it Bluelion, I know several people who would love to have you. Time to come home.
  2. Thanks for the update Bluebird, please let everyone know who you hire as soon as possible. I'm just glad we finnaly got someone on this Forum that is in the know. You go boy.
  3. Mappy, I do agree with you and Coach Adams did a good job and there is no complaint with him, the only thing I am saying is some people get on here when Willie is mentioned and start saying we don't need Willie and Willie would hurt the program, and that is far from the truth. When Hargett was coaching at ND people did not like his so call boring offense, well it was not going to score 50 points a game like these run and shoot teams do, BUT his defense was not going to give up 40 and 50 points a game either, and any football coach will tell you, offense sells tickets, and defense wins ball games and I think ole Nick Saban would support my thinking on this. I just hope when they hire the board puts some thought into it and hire a good one.
  4. Well things may be running smooth and I hope they are, but as far as needing ole Willie, better look at the playoff years while he was at ND and look at the playoff years since he left, they need something or somebody. ND has not played defense since ole Willie has been gone.
  5. I know you people are going to think that I am crazy or smoking wacky tobacky, but in today economy they need to bring Willie back as AD and bring the money man Norton Lovell back to find Mrs. Sloan replacment. I know Mr. Lovell is getting up in years but he WOULD come back for 1 year to find a replacment for the Sup. He would also let Willie run his program and things would run smooth like they used to. And yes, I do believe Willie would come back but I may be wrong. Go ahead and blast me but this would work. The people who will condemn this is the people who do not know both of these men.
  6. 6922, you are right about the level of talent at ND. There are a few kids that are good kids but there is a shortage of the tough kids ND used to put on the field. When you played ND back in the day you knew you were in a battle till the final horn blew, it is just not that way anymore.
  7. [ Salty I agree 100% with you, the only thing that a lot of people don't understand is the discipline Willie not only brings to the athletes but into the halls of the High School as well.quote name=salty1' timestamp='1328987734' post='1683617] I understand a lot of people from Diana want Willie Hargett back but as far as I know, those are the ones that grew up in Diana and played for Willie and have loyalty to their head coach. I applaud them for that but is that what is really the best move for Diana these days? I would imagine in most small towns/schools in East Texas that you would find an allegiance to their past head coach. What Diana needs to do is look at the kids they currently have and look for a coach, either inside or outside, that fits the current athletes instead of bringing in a coach that makes the athletes fit them. It is too long of a building process for that and from what I understand, the program is headed in the right direction. I just hope it is looked at long and hard by the right people and if Willie is best fit for the district I am sure people would be glad to welcome him back to the program. I hope they consider people from Willie's past as well as people newer to the district in forming a committee, etc. to make decision. It is also my understanding that, with the district currently facing such financial hardships, that it may be in the best interest of the district to promote from within, therefore saving the district money. I don't envy the decision makers in this task, but hope they work hard and consider all options in this process and have the athletes at heart and not personal interests.
  8. Was told he wanted to retire and hire back and board so no, That is what I was told, would have to ask coach Adams if this is true.
  9. Roger has done a good job, but from what I understand he wanted to go a different route. I think it is time to call Willie back, I know some people will question this but all you have to do is go back and look at Willie's record there, and then look what has happened since he left. There are a lot of people there that want him back.
  10. New Diana head coach Roger Adams resigned this past week. Who will get the job this time. Should call Willie home.
  11. Could someone please tell me, I have Dish Network, will these games be on Fox Sports Southwest channel 416.
  12. Back in the late 60's and early 70's there was a lot of talk about White Oak doing this. It was said that they would find good football players and offer their Dad's a job in the oilfield . If you look back they sure had some awful good teams back then and some great running backs that were move in's. Kinda makes you wonder, since the oil boom faded they are not near as good now. I'v heard this for a long time, don't know that it is true, but it seems that they were always playing in the 3rd or 4th week of the playoffs every year.
  13. What about Art Horton, used to be the defensive cord. there back in the 90's. Home town guy seems like he might be a good fit.
  14. Bluelion, go on and put your name in the hat. Would be good for you and Overton.
  15. Singlewing you are right, my son played with Clint and they were in the playoff's in 92,94,and 95. Went to Quarterfinals in 92 and 95. ND has not been the same since Hargett left. Don't get me wrong Coach Adans is a good coach, but Willie just had that nack for getting a whole lot more out of average kids than most Coaches. But I can promise you one thing, when Willie was there the kids would knock the fire out of you and I just don't see that in the ND kids since he left. That is what he would bring to Overton, tough hard nose kids that have no qiut in them.
  16. That is a fact, when you played the Eagles back then the next morning you knew you had been in a tough game. Willie is in UG. I know we played Overton just about every year back then and it was always a very hard hitting, clean played football game. The Overton school board would be crazy not to consider this option. I used to laugh at some of the people in ND when they would complain about Willie's grind it out offense, and relentless defense, but you know what, the bottom line is this he won a hell of a lot of ball games, and was in the playoff's 14 of the 19 years here that he was head coach. Overton would be doing their school and communtiy justice by hiring this man.
  17. If Overton wants a proven coach and a winner, then all they have to do is hire Willie Hargett. Willie is a proven winner and the kids will play hard until the last snap. Strong on disipline, great coach and good person.
  18. I would love to see a ND win, but like I said early in the season ND has the worst team I have ever seen them put on a football field ,so with this being said, good luck Eagles you will need it. I know this post will probally be taken off but I have seen ND play 2 times this year and there is not a kid on the team that will hit the way ND has always hit in the past. They are just not very tough and that is not a shot at Coach Adams, he is a great coach. Being tough is from the genes in these kids and looking at some of kids and knowing some of their Dad's, it's just not in them. I'm sorry and I'm not trying to be ugly, just being honest.
  19. Winnsboro will have no problem with ND, the Eagles are terrible, I will be real surprised if ND can beat Sabine.
  20. I was hoping that the ND Eagles was just having a few problems and would get things lined out after a few games, but after going to the Homecoming game last night vs Malakoff, it is going to be a very long season for the Eagles. That is the worst football team that the Eagles have ever put on a field. Maybe things will get better in a year or two but this year is bad.
  21. I hope you are right, but I see the Eagles having a possible 0-10 season. I thought maybe we would be better but it looks very slim after the first 2 games.
  22. I'm not saying anything bad about Coach Pate, I'm sure he done a great job, all I am saying is that ,when you are in a situation like UH, IMO you need someone that has been around the coaching ranks long enough to handle all that is thrown at him. He has to be one that can and will control a lot of stuff that comes down the pike at him. That is all I'm saying. Then again that is just my opinion. I in no way mean anything bad towards coach Pate.
  23. Hey man, go hire whoever you want, that's what happen the last time and the coach stayed 1 year. Heck of a way to turn a program back around. Good luck.
