Surratt and Preston are on track to set records that might Never be broken. No point in messing with that. Dementia at it's finest. If he wants to better himself so be it.

Kilgore would be very smart to not let him leave the building without him coming aboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could in theory get the glory and get paid. Kilgore is not a dumpster fire and has the same opportunity as Carthage. Seems the higher ups want to win as well . I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens and fully hope it doesn’t. I think it would be benefit Kilgore, especially get some of the boys excited and more focused on football. Kilgore needs a good balance of structure and discipline and I don't think they have that now. Not a knock on the current coaches, I just think the boys and coaches are use to each other. Change of face may work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoakyBandito Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Not sure why Preston would take a job working under AD Wood. I think it would be a great fit as far as football and winning is concerned, just don’t know why he would want to work under an AD at a school the size of Kilgore. Another question is how much would the pay be in his situation? Is Kilgore going to want to pay 2 x 6 figure salaries for a HFC and AD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoakyBandito Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 But I can almost guarantee Preston would have Kilgore humming in just a few years. Would love to see what Coach Preston could do at Kilgore. Carthage vs Kilgore would be a game to see every year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not crazy enough to believe all of this success won’t one day come to an end; I’m just not ready to see it when something historic is so close to becoming reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If coach Preston left, I think it would be for 5A or 6A. I disagree that coach Surratt would be the only one recognized for making history. The entire state knows about the Dawg D and the coaches responsible for it. I like all Dawg fans hope the coaching staff stays intact and sets new records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckNut Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Preston would be a great fit at Kilgore or Henderson. You Carthage folks know and are real worried how good he would do at either of those schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carthage won state titles before Preston arrived and will continue after he is gone, as long as Surratt is the HC. Not diminishing what Preston has contributed at all, but this is Surratt’s program. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I WON'T go as far as what Carthage has accomplished. But, definitely can come close with the RIGHT coach, make no mistakes about it, just need someone to get these kids excited again. That to me would he huge in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably won’t happen, but Preston is actually a really goof fit for Kilgore. Would like to see it happen just so I could see that Kilgore D. Teams in y’all’s district and in R3 would have a tough time scoring on a Preston D where he was making all the personnel decisions. Just have to get somebody in there to run a variation of Surratt’s offense and develop a QB. Kilgore always has stud RB and WR (even though they don’t throw it to them much). Call me a homer, but I think Preston has Kilgore contending for state titles year one, and would have a chance to win one pretty quick. Especially with Argyle projected to go to 5a from what I have read. Those potential La Vega / Kilgore games would be the 2 best defensive coaches on 4a going head to head. That would be fun. Looking at what Don Hyde has done at LV would be a pretty good comparison to what Darren Preston could do at Kilgore. LV prolly has a few more athletes than Kilgore year in year out, but not many. Fun to talk about, but this is a long shot IMO. Especially with not being AD too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know why they both wouldn’t at least kick the tires. He has to be on a short list of coaches that aren’t already HFC you would want leading your program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
