Smoaky Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I received an email this morning from Reggie Kumrow at Paul Pewitt High School, "I will not be the AD / Head Football Coach this next year at Paul Pewitt. My plan is to stay on as an assistant coach. This was all finalized last night." Kumrow was 50-33 as the head football coach at Paul Pewitt, taking over from Brian Huckabay in 2008, including a 10-4 team in 2010. The Brahmas were 3-8 last season.

RenoHightower Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Good luck to Coach Kumrow in whatever he decides to do. He is definitely one of the class acts of the coaching profession! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedCatfish Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Wish him the best, but usually it doesn't work out when someone was the top person and is demoted/ takes lesser position in organization! IMO he will be at another school besides PP next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBigBlue Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I just got the word just a few minutes ago myself. I'm glad Coach is staying in the district. He is a good man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-1-1 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 This should be a good job for a young up and coming coach, please lets stop recycling these coaches that has not accomplish much in the past. Just my opinion and I have a great nephew on this team that will be a senior next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landry Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 They going to look for a spread guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBigBlue Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hope not. Pewitt wouldn't be relevant in football for about 8 years. Now I would like to see a better mixture myself but the Slot T hides a lot of weaknesses. Spread in my opinion exposes a lot if you don't have the talent. First thing you would have to do is develop a QB from 7th grade to learn it and follow it up every year starting at that level. Look at Daingerfield. The team that won 3 State Championships in a row started the spread in 7th grade. Hugg( I think that was his name) started it. He was ran out of town because of losing before they got to see what developed. The current coach, in my opinion, is seeing what happens when you don't develop them starting at 7th grade. Talent is there but if you don't develop it early you lose in the end. I think Pewitt people want to see it come back to prominence quickly. They are going to have to wait no matter what. Talent is thin and will have to be developed. I know I just contradicted myself but I hope that whoever comes in understands that our offense has been necessary because of our lack of depth. Spread would just flop in the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landry Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 No question the talent level is way down from years past. What Kumrow did with smoke and mirrors was pretty impressive in my opinion. If someone comes in and wins using the spread they will be considered a guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild74 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Pewitt played with a lot of injuries last season. I had thought Pewitt was the team for Waskom to beat last year after the way they played us the year before and didn't lose to many players. Injuries just decimated them this year, nothing much a coach can do about that when a lot of your athletes go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spread would just flop in the beginning. Hugg was run out of town because of the lack of discilpline and respect his teams showed . You are correct about the success or lack of that is showing up now. The first three years of the current regime were Bowman kids. Because of the way the Pewitt kids have always overachieved the right guy that turns the fire on should see results pretty fast. I think it will be awhile in DF.

If I remember correctly, Hugg wasn't fired... He left to be the OC at a big metro school, which is where his heart and mind were his final 2 yrs at DF anyways. I don't know slit about the staff at PP, but I know they have a tendency to load up on new talent every few years and make good runs at their district. Should be a good job for any up and coming young coach or an old guy with roots looking to make his mark on their way to retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landry Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I know that Kerry Strong has been contacted but dont look for him to entertain anything until basketball is over. Lol! Pewitt hires a basketball guy the board and supt will have to answer a lot of questions!! At the same time the supt is not a sports guy and probably didn't play football. The board may have one member that was actually a part of an athletic program let alone played football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahmahater Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Kumrows first 3 years account for 3/4 of his wins. Talent a problem or something else? I still lift with some of the players. They are strong as oxes, stronger than us. Speed? We weren't fast compared to most we played. Look at our track team. Something else changed. Not a lot of interest in Pewitt anymore. Look at the thread when we lost Coach Huck this time of year, 8 years ago. Expectations and results have declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
