88YoePride Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 did RB smith end up signing anywhere?He just had a follow-up surgery to clear out the knee. He has a long, hard rehab ahead, but what I've heard is Blinn and UMHB are only schools right now with interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88YoePride Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just to clarify - Please note that I put the word "down" in quotations, implying that it is only down in size of city and in classification. I am going to go ahead and say that this has the potential to be a tricky situation for a "homegrown" candidate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoe09 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 This will probably not take long. Would not be surprised to see a hire by the end of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyClydePuckett Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Fedora would be a perfect fit IMO I bet he would. LOL Nothing against YOE but I am imagining that lee has his heights set just a little higher than Cameron, Texas right now. I hate to tell you but going from Navasota to YOE is not even a lateral move to anyone in the profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only successful coaches that want to move down in classification are older guys looking for less headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogs99 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 From the outside looking in it would seem curious that Yoe would hire a in house defensive coordinator with no head coaching experience. The rumour all over Central Texas is the in house hire is a lock, it will be interesting to see the reaction of the Cameron fan base if that happens, especially if they win half their games next season. How will the school board justify that hire as the top candidate for the job? Guess they are going to pull a Temple Texas. The superintendent and the school board could go from the penthouse to the outhouse within a year. Rhoades set the bar high that is for sure.

dillonpanthers Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Staying in house isn't always a bad thing. Look at Gilmer. Sometimes there is no need to rock the boat when things are already going well. An outside hire means the new coach will usually want to bring a lot of their own coaches in. Staying in house secures that a lot of those current coaches don't leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always heard Rhoades was the one and only captain of the Yoe ship. Could take 2 to 3 coaches with him. Cameron fan base may want to send out a SOS. Sure Rockdale, Franklin and the McGregor fans will be ok with a in house coordinator hire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillonpanthers Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Obviously you're not a fan of the DC. Who do you think thet should be going after? Someone with head coaching experience? Or a coordinator from a bigger program? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the application process ends and finalist list is made public, the Cameron fan base will be able to judge for themselves if their superintendent and elected officials put the best person in the vacant position. I am sure all head coaches and coordinators whom apply, all ask for the same thing, a fair opportunity. Central TX is watching this hire closely. Maybe a Temple TX repeat?

dillonpanthers Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/42937362.html As far as I can tell, Rhoades didn't have any head coaching experience when he was hired and it turned out pretty well for Yoe.

dillonpanthers Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Good call, I misread that. So you being a Yoe fan, do you think they should hire from within or look outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88YoePride Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm gonna go ahead and say this: A - Bringing in an outside coach doesn't necessarily mean they'd have to bring in their own staff. Anyone trying to speak intelligently on this topic is overlooking Rhoades' program itself. B - There are rumors all over this subject, and one of them, indeed, is that at least one prominent and locally-loved assistant is leaving with Rhoades. C - Honestly, if I was an "in-house" candidate, I would be very wary of my potential promotion being more based on me being more susceptible to agendas and "politics" than would an outside hire.

Cameron fan base may want to send out a SOS. Sure Rockdale, Franklin and the McGregor fans will be ok with a in house coordinator hire Rhoades was THE head coach, no doubt. But the thing that keeps that team in the list of winningest programs statewide is the staff of assistant coaches who are former players who come back to make sure the tradition is defended and upheld. Unlike outsiders, those young men are dedicated to assuring that their legacies are lived up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allheartnoquit Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 A nobody and not much... Guess we will find out. So glad Teague stayed in your Malakoff district another two years of going back and forth should be eventful. Oh that's right your kids go to a private school........guess your beloved Tigers weren't good enough for your kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
