Lion7000 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 This could be a decent job. Expectations are somewhat lower. Playoffs , contend for District, Beat Lufkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is as close to an inner city job as you can get, without it being in the inner city. Unfortunately for the kids, the hire will not mirror the the players and therefore Nac will continue to try to pound a square peg into a round hole. I see what you are saying. We’ve only had one minority head coach in the history of Nac. They ran him back into retirement and his coaches off to other schools when he was pulling the program in the right direction.

missionimpossible Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 You are so wrong. It does not take a minority coach to coach minority kids. It takes a coach who cares for the kids, is there every day for them, loves them, respects them, and disciplines them. They will work just as hard for him as they would a minority coach. Many coaches whether minority or not have grown up in the same areas as kids in Nac. The kids in Nac must make a commitment to get better and not listen to the town's outside rhetoric. Excuses are plenty. 50 years of losing causes this in the kids and the people on this board. There have been many excellent coaches come through Nac and gone on and did well or had done well elsewhere. Maybe its in the water. Doesn't seem to be in the water at Alto, Garrison, Lufkin, San Augustine, Henderson, Kilgore, Longview, etc. who have the same type of kids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there some coaches that are not minorities that relate well with all kids, of course. But, understanding where a kid comes from, what their situation at home is like, what it takes to really reach them and get them to produce matters. So, a minority coach would be "unable" to effectively coach "non-minority" players? due to "not understanding where they come from, what their situation is like"?
