bootleg11 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Passing a bond in MV has always been an issue hasn't it? All those folks down by the lake don't care if there's turf on the football field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonG Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 That's the same he sold to Tisd. If his family doesn't join him you can believe he will be one and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyman Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I got tired reading all of his stops. I want to definitely give him the benefit of the doubt, but its hard not to think that based on his track record that he will not be around long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wife is from Sulphur Springs so I'm guessing they'll move back to the area. "It’s exciting for my family and I to join a great school district and community," he said. "It’s a chance to be back home and close to family. My wife is from Sulphur Springs, so its very close to where she’s from. We are ready to add a lot of purple to our wardrobe."

VonG Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) He is from Athens. That's what he told Tisd. It didn't work out for Lee. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://tylerpaper.com/sports/george-is-new-robert-e-lee-football-coach/article_e9c08d92-f205-55bc-bb92-2641cc3313ea.amp.html&ved=2ahUKEwjey9-PkNL9AhU0k2oFHQuPDUsQFnoECBYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1HMDg5NkcqT7o5AqRhPGY7 Same thing different day.

mrclean69 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Good luck to him. Interested to see how he adjusts to a small school. Hopefully the cycle of no community support and terrible admin will end here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanGreenDogs64 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) That UNT staff won 6 games in 4 seasons. Edit: Not his fault. The old AD cut the budget and let Dodge bring HS coaches instead of experienced hires. Edited March 11 by MeanGreenDogs64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m excited about this hire- look, I see the track record of him not staying places long (MV has a history of coaches not sticking around long anyway - 6 since 2010) as far as a losing UNT staff, that doesn’t bother me, look what that staff did and is doing in the HS ranks - I’m guessing most of the MV staff from the last few years will be gone- but I doubt MV goes back to the Slot T now- He certainly comes from a fantastic coaching tree- The MV community is supportive of their students and student athletes . Just my read. MV will be in good shape - The Defense will be stout - Offense has great weapons returning as well- We are a QB away from being right in the mix again- “something” tells me that QB will not be an issue . Looking forward to another good season in Tiger Country Edited March 11 by mvtigerbacker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2171 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I’ve never seen community support as an issue at MV, born and raised here. We always had lots of support and still do. My biggest hope is that they build the program, work with the JH and JV more. There hasn’t been much focus on the younger groups in the last few years.

Probably hasn't been to much player development with sub varsity teams since Finny left. When Briles showed up been more about winning, same goes with the past HC, imo. Which I get it is the purpose. JV and JH teams didn't look to good last season, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have any complaint around the last 4 years of the program this would be it- but keep in mind MV has played their really good underclassman on Varsity the last 4 years - move them back to JV and those records for the underclass squads are a different story Edited March 12 by mvtigerbacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsfan122316 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I think MV has faired just fine the past 4 years. Lower levels are not about wins, and when they have got to varsity level, they sure have won. MV needs to pass a bond, kids deserve it. Good luck to Coach George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the kids deserve it as they always do in these situations. Unfortunately, i see ZERO chance that it passes this year or anytime soon. I could be proven wrong but i am just basing it off of last year as it was not necessarily that close plus turnout was low. Add in the fact that they added $11.6 million to the total, i just dont see it being successful a year later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2171 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) The bond will not pass, it’s part A (school needs) and Part B (sports). The sports part is turf on football field, making visitors stands into home stands and enlarging plus new press boxes. Also new baseball and softball fields with turf and new tennis courts. The sports part will not pass and I don’t expect the other part to pass. We can hope though. Total is like $63 million both parts together Edited March 13 by Mike2171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsfan122316 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That is sad if it doesn’t pass, kids deserve it. Like it or not, facilities recruit and people want nice things for their kids to play on. Might lose some kids to better schools around the area if they continue not to get with the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
