LOL If Quittman doesn't want you as a head coach why should we? Goodness people How do you justify hiring a coach 1-29 record? LOL I'm from LO and we have to do better... Nothing against him but will definitely have better applicants than him. This school board has to be better than this. Last two coaches were awful and embarrassing. I get that. Any ideas who can get that s show turned around? Heck at this point they may be lucky to get Oakes. Seems part of LO's problem is overvaluing the caliber town and job it is.

supermaroon Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 sounds like they may need to burn the whole thing to the ground including the School Board. The facilities might be some of the worst in 3a and have been told the pay is terrible so its difficult to get and keep quality coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be very tough to hire a coordinator who only scored 86 points in 10 games. Could be a great guy and would be a great hire I am not sure. I definitely think they need to go outside and find someone to come in. Young Coordinator or Assistant at a big school. Somebody willing to stick around for the kids and make the changes to get this program on the right track. JMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slickarick Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I mean..you can only get it wrong so many times right ????... they have to open it up and let dudes who are coordinators that want there 1st shoot at it apply who want to breed success. look what connot did in rivercrest and Detroit. super young head coach when he was hired. Changed the culture and built a legacy. Have to take you chances on a guy here though due to the situation . Gonna have to let him coach and leave him be to build his program.

Propotential Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 You don't have to be young to change the culture or energy, you just have to implement innovative ways to train athletes to be successful. They must be healthy and happy or you will not be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what most are saying by young is that no established coach with experience wanting to touch this job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrclean69 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 They did give the job to a fairly young first time head coach. He won a district championship and never missed the playoffs. They ran him off and his entire staff with him. Past couple years have been better though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But everyone knows you can only do what you can within your situation. Been plenty of coaches ride a good group of talent to make a name for themselves. Been plenty of great coaches lose their good name for not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in this particular case you can go back many years (many more than I posted above) and with very few exceptions Lone Oak has always been competitive...not world beaters...but competitive. But you are absolutely correct on the talent level being extremely important...not matter where it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
