Not saying he did everything right. Just hard with all the extra added pressure. That is most places now. People are focused on results and do not understand that there is a process to success. There is no way around it. It takes what it takes (to quote the title of a book). You can't shortcut hard work and in today's society we often don't understand that. You are 100% correct that we expect instant gratification. From social media, to Amazon, to Door Dash. Anything can be had in an instant....except for the results that come from hard work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrclean69 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 A. Call Ed back B. Call someone that worked for Ed. Go back to the Slot-T. Bring back your identity of being hard working tough kids that will be in and fight every game. Tell everyone that complains about old school coaching and system to move. This is the way. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt that works…. I DO think he did a good job when he was there. They over achieved most years. B. More of the same? People wanted the athletic program to move forward a year ago, and come out of 1995. There is still hope of that. Just bc the most recent was a slap, doesn’t mean they all are. Hire better. An offense doesn’t make your identity. The “it has to be slot t” is rediculious. I don’t think spread is the answer necessarily. But any veer, triple option, power run offense (run right) could get it done. Get something the kids have fun with, bought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He treated the kids with less than respect. I’m not talking about pushing them to do better, outright said things coaches shouldn’t say. My opinion, he didn’t have the best interest of the kids as a priority. Again, opinion. He didn’t treat his coaches with respect. The same coaches he brought in, they bought in to him. If you don’t believe that one, go ask one. Any one. Last, and most importantly in answering the question at hand… If you have ever met him, he is very….. slappy.

Still need athletes. Simply put read offenses take time to get better at. I don't feel like HS has time. They botched it, program is spiraling, kids aren't playing, town is divided. Go through some ugly weeks of learning veer and triple and new guy has another smoaky thread talking about when he'll get fired. If "more of the same" is consistent playoff appearances and maxing out talent then I think HS would be on board. You also assume great coaches are beating down the door to go to an 0-10 team, in the middle of nowhere, that got hammered in realignment. Someone with an emotional attachment to HS and the way things were might apply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, an offense can make your identity. It doesn't have to be what identifies your program but it certainly can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have met him when he was young and he has always been respectful. He did not impress upon me that he was "slappy", and I've met more than a few "slaps".

Let’s hope the Administration does a better job on the next hire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All offenses take time to install and “get better at” as far as timing and execution. You said one thing we can agree on, beginning to end…. They botched it.

BuckNut Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Hard work, discipline, mental and physical toughness, selflessness and doing the little things right are more important than any offense or defense you run. Whoever does those things whatever they choose to run will work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a novel concept...... /s Which is exactly why places like this are being talked about... Hughes Springs, Linden Kildare, Clarksville, New Boston...all of these places seem to have let the culture of things right out the door and now here we are. And A LOT of it has to do with what has been allowed, not only by the school/coaches but by the parents..it's crazy what parents think is ok now days and what is appalling and forbidden. There is no such thing anymore as hard nosed coaching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing anymore as hard nosed coaching. Discipline is by far the most difficult part of any CULTURE to cultivate in today's society. Parents, for the most part, do NOT instill it at home, therefore it is almost impossible to instill in school and especially in athletics. Accountability and commitment run a close second to discipline is the race for the holy grail of characteristics needed to be successful that parents fight tooth and nail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2017Patriot Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Heard last night Hughes Springs has found their new AD. Here's hoping he can pull the athletic program back together. Probably the first time in 20 years they didn't make the playoffs in baseball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got an uphill battle. He will need support from the community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
