I wasn’t at the SA game but it looks like it worked out well for y’all. And I have seen decisions made in playoffs that are risky and that team won...again easy to sit here and question any coaches decision. It's also easy to question his decision when he only has two winning seasons in his entire career up until this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say it like you did but I think we will agree on kickoffs. Always better to pin them deep. However I will take a predictable offense that has put up, 41, 20 (half Crockett) 48,35,35,49,41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upullinmychain Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 When everything on the field is equal, athletically, coaching becomes the deciding factor.. Not disrespectful or reproching anyone but at that point you will know how important the decisions become. Smart play calling will win unless lady luck takes a hand..

I guess the two state championships in 2005 and 2006 in Tatum as the DC doesn’t count.. just again what you choose to see... but I can see we are not going to agree on much. Good luck to SA the rest of the way. Maybe we will run into each other down the road and we can talk about this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When teams chasing instead of leading it makes a small difference.. But again, he is very good with defense.. And again I'm not questioning his prowess as hc.

AlphaDawg Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I’m trying to figure out how we have our own Garrison supporters questioning our coaches. If Garrison would have ran power every play running the ball against Beckville lastnight they could have score 60+ but when you get to the playoffs you have to have balance and run more than 3 plays to win games. Support your coaching staff and the decisions they make whether good or bad. I bet if Scott Surratt makes those same calls with the same outcomes nobody’s says a word..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching first 10 offensive plays for garrison, my oldest son turned to me and said that y'all working for the playoffs tonight.. At the time it seemed logical so maybe it's so..

hunter92 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I thought the reverse we ran out of our power formation in the fourth quarter was the play call of the year. we miss one block on the fake punt or it goes for 15-20 at least. I’m a gambler by nature though, just a different perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longwheelbase Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 One of my favorite stories that heard from a coach was this. High School soccer game going on and a parent in the stands was just giving the coaches and officials heck. During a time out one of the coaches went to the bleachers and asked him to calm it down. The parent yelled at the coach "hey I am a soccer coach". The coach turned to him (he knew him) and yelled no your not your an insurance salesman, which he was. Look, support your team is a must. Being respectful of your opponent is a must. Being an anonymous expert on Smoaky just makes me laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree about the respect part, I never dish on the other teams or their coaches, but I do have opinions and I'll post them, sometimes. But I try to never be disrespectful in any way. When the doc's first told me I had cancer, the voices of my coaches rang in my head "stay low son and play till the whistle" Tru story. I think I missed half of that first couple of sentences because all I could hear was my old coach in my memories "you have to be a leader son, look around you, man up".i looked up straight up into the eyes of my 12 year old son,. Coaches make a difference even thirty five years later. Chain out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgPound73 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Dawgs gonna fix it, you naysayers can go back under your rock, y’all come out when we are doing good and then complain and criticize every move a coach makes. Yes the kids overlooked the Bearcats last night and got into a close game in a down pour rain storm. This team has a core of leaders that are top notch. That’s counting the coaching staff and the senior class and a couple of the juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upullinmychain Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 For clarity, at the time, we didn't know if it was accute or chronic.. Whether I was lookin at living or dying. In that instant in time, the clarity was pristine, I would at all costs show my children how to play the fourth quarter and leave it all on the field.

Your attitude about your cancer is commendable and I wish you health and happiness. Yes, coaches have a huge influence on the lives of young people and hopefully a positive one. I just have a difficult time with some on here that criticize everything from play calling to defensive philosophy. If they really want to help then go to the Fieldhouse and ask for the marker and step up to the dry erase board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you came out of it. Need this attitude not only in sports but for life. Hell, more people in our country need it. There are many good lessons to be learned from team sports. I think they are invaluable to our well being and success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carthage ISD. Has 21 football coaches on the payroll and Garrison ISD has 7. I think our 7 are doing just fine, if the fake punt works then no one is saying anything, if we get a couple turnovers with the short kickoffs like we do sometimes no one is saying anything. Let the coaches coach and we just come out and support the dawgs. Easy as that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgPound73 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 On another note, I heard the Bulldog football boys and coaches all showed up for the band competition at SFA today to cheer on the band that plays and cheers for them every Friday night. That right there is what it’s all about. Very easily could’ve laid in the bed this morning but they were up and rooting for their classmates and school.
