misterdoright Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 What about this is a "great hire". He is a great guy but I don't think this is a great hire. Look at the record. Please enlighten everyone on here how this is so great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleborn Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Three 0-10 seasons last 6 seasons 5-55 last 6  What constitutes a "great hire" here? Looking to learn  Don't remember ever seeing an abundance of talent at Bandera and Dawson.. Maybe I missed it. Have you see it?  THREE state titles count for something....

32read Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Surely I am misunderstanding things. HIs record the last 6 years isn't 5-55? Wade Phillips just won a Super Bowl as a DC too. Being a good assistant or coordinator and a good head coach are 2 different things. I am sure he is a "good guy" as has been reported but you have to be competitive and 5-55 isn't competitive.

supermaroon Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sounds like mixed emotions on this one my only question is are the people of Garrison happy about the hire? if they are so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxFight Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If it's coach prince...he started his career at Garrison, worked his way up to DC. Went to some green town that has a couple of titles as well and was a DC there I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playactionpass39 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hard to imagine that 5-55 in the last 6 years gets you a job with the tradition of Garrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slickarick Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 He will do good there knows garrison and the kids there. But IMO i would have gone with another. Younger more energetic coach. wont say names unless the finalist are given out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slickarick Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Well ill break the mold i guess. 3 Finalists were (could be one more but three i heard):  Coach Barrier- O/C Jasper (Dropped out/turned down (rumor)?)  Coach Richard Strickland -DC Henderson  Coach Larry Prince.

DLineEATS Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Best of luck to Coach Strickland! Heck of a football coach, and been apart of some really special programs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slickarick Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Best of luck to Coach Strickland! Heck of a football coach, and been apart of some really special programs! Hell of a coach and a man! would have been a great and energetic guy to have defensively minded but knows how to mess with defenses as well from an offensive stand point. Henderson is lucky to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillTetley Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 All due respect to the other candidates, as I'm sure Coach Strickland was an outstanding candidate, Larry Prince is an outstanding individual and a great football coach. The truth is he's been in some tough situations the last few years in regards to talent level. He's the last HC to take Bandera to the playoffs, and then the talent dropped off the table like you can't imagine, just in time for a new district to be put in place. At Dawson, they improved each year he was there while having almost nothing to work with. In the end, what you have is a great football mind, coupled with a man that will be a role model for Garrison's kids, will promote ALL athletic programs, push academics, and is certainly a man of God. Garrison will be proud of this hire very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish him the best, but you can't say he has a proven track record!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpd Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hhhhmmm.... Guess I was wrong when I said one of them must of been from Carthage! I don't know the guy they hired or the above mentioned... But honestly, it stands to reason if you want a winning program, go after Scott Surratt's or Jeff Traylor's coaches, especially those that have moved on to other AD/HC positions. They know how to win. (Yes, I know Coach Traylor is no longer at Gilmer but he still has coaches in East Texas.) Any of the ones I mentioned in my previous post that have either moved on or are currently coaching under Surratt are all young, great coaches & leaders and would have done a terrific job. I believe any school district looking to fill the AD/HC position would not have to look too far if they interviewed any of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnclePig Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't his overall head coaching record like 30-100? It's seriously that important for a school to hire a guy with head coaching experience that has a record that terrible?? Would you rather have a guy with head coaching experience that has averaged winning 2 games a year over the course of his career, or maybe take a chance on a coordinator that has been a part of some incredibly successful teams. Yeah I'm sure he's a great guy and a man of God and all that good mess, but if that's what they really wanted they should've hired the local Baptist preacher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
