tomlandry Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Greg Owens is high class and a great coach. Enjoy retirement friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipper Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Their is a really good chance they drop to 4A. The athletes are there they just need to get them on the football field. The basketball team has been rolling for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodOleBoy73 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Dropping to 4A will help. Supposedly their JH was pretty good this year at the 5A level. If they get the right coach in there, they may be a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossFace Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Sulphur Springs use to be salty. Many great players come out of that school. Enjoy retirement Coach O and good luck to the next guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a nice little list of possibilities for SS. It helps that they're dropping. If they can stay down for awhile then this has potential to be a good job. Owens did an outstanding job upgrading the facilities...they are top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with using same drive to pursue Abron? Did he leave on bad terms? Would be major hire but I may not have all info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bad blood in SS for Abron. 4 schools in 4 years would normally be a red flag, but not in this case. Abron was at SS for a long time. Based on everything I've seen or heard all his moves have decent reasons with very little if any bad terms. PP's pay is awful so the move to Mexia was the best one for his family. Parents health was bad so Pitt was the best move for his family. SS is home and I would imagine a long time dream of his. I wouldn't blame him. SS doesn't run through coaches, this might not come open for him again.  I do hate to see they didn't give the former head coach a chance at the 4A level. Really hard to win as the smallest school in 5A.      2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogbacker78 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Do you guys think they might be ready for new blood? Nobody linked to the former coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micotrav Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I believe there would be a ton of coaches that would apply for this position. Probably time Sulphur Springs think about hiring 5ADI and 6A OC or DC from any of these very successful programs in the DFW area. Pay them what they should be paid and develop a whole new regime. A few things to consider, -This current staff had possibly the most competitive 2021 football schedule in the State of Texas this year and for the most part they held their own. -This is one of the smallest enrollment sized districts in Class 5AD2 -School will possibly move to a 4A D1 with another possible very competitive district. -Whoever tries to fill the shoes of the former coach will be shadowed by the comparison of highly ethical character. Certainly not a flaw, yet a good program built on that foundation. A good problem to have, yet one that a new coach will need to maintain.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsSeenOnTV Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I just got this feeling, Abron won’t leave Pittsburg.  Why not the guy from Van? Isn’t he from SS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
